Not everyone should have an opinion on things like salad and trampolines. But due to the immense pressure from those in the office, Al has taken a break from speaking in the third person to outline what he's been listening to in the past month or so...
I know it seem kind of obvious, but there are times when I do wonder why
Weezer still tries to make something called music. I know, I'm just splitting hairs on that matter because there's no real hope Rivers and the gang. Some say that there's never enough GOOD music playing at one time... I disagree. If we played all the good music at once there would be some kind of giant orgy of goodness, and Michael Jackson would rise from the dead to 'dance his ass off'.
Alright, Alright! I'll stop beating around the bush and start to talk about some North American music. While Hugh glues his eyes to Pitchfork I've been sneaking around the corridors of Edge Radio pretending I'm into all the unpleasant Aussie rock that's been leaking from the airwaves. I'm sorry, The Temper Trap are just a little too sad for me to consider them an actual band. If the UK likes them so much then they can have them!
As everyone knows by now, I'm pretty much on the
Washed Out bandwagon for the foreseeable future. I'm not sure why but the whole cocaine dealing speedboat owning 80s vibe is just so intoxicating. Highlight would have to be the song
Hold Out. Not too fast and not too slow. Perfect for dealing wads of cocaine...
Next on my ever growing list of amazingly hot music is a little song from
Das Racist & Wallpaper. I'm a big fan of racist jokes (does that make me a racist? I like
KFC!) and when someone puts what seems to be a black joke into musical form it's all downhill for me. The song I'm referring to is of course
Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell (Wallpaper. RMX). Racist slurs aside, the song is the right kind of wild and hairy chested man-music. It also reminds me that I've never been to a Taco Bell in my life!
What's next? Um... Oh yes, I'm a big fan of computer game music. You know, the old style bit music. Brings back memories of playing hours of Sonic 3 on rainy days as a kid. Some of the coolest music I've ever heard was made especially for the Mega Drive (not the Genesis! get over it America!) and it's a really good time for people my age to discover what bit music is out there. My most recent favourite bit music love is from a New York duo called
Starscream. Sure, he was the most annoying Transformer, but he was a plane
goddamnit! Anyway, these guys make some of the coolest 8 bit
music going around. I'm currently bouncing around the room to a little track called
Kepler's Star Catalog. They use the
original Nintendo
Gameboy hardware for pretty much all their music. But they also add some sampled drums which really gives the sounds some space compared to the mostly flat sounding bit music that I usually come across. Ah the trappings of completely digital music. You can download pretty much as much bit music as you want from
8bitpeoples.com
Woah! That's a lot of text baby... Alright, lets just leave it there. I'll make contact next week with some more music that you can play very loudly in your
Tarago.
