Sorry for the lack of postings... I've been really busy lately, I've been working for all week pretty much and finally my artistic dry period is over and for some reason I've been flooded with ideas, so I've been working hard. But her are the highlights of the week anyways:
*Killers premiered their new video, the preview looked way more exciting than the real thing, and Brandon looks like hes about to die in the video
*XO London had a very nice posting about Deborah Harry and her solo career and he posted 4 songs from her solo album KooKoo which are really worth checking out.
*We are all doomed, that is we are if this guy (click on the link) ends up having a successful career. This world is over, if he can really have hits on the charts...
* I finally gave the Lilly Allen CD another try, and I loved it... She reminds me of a young Tori Amos,... But lately any woman singer I hear sounds like Tori to me, so maybe its just me... But those lyrics man, she totally reminds me of Tori. Watch Smile
*kelis' new album, sounded disappointing at first, but now I LOVE it. Its pretty much as good as Tasty, and I actually really thought that she is going to screw up on this album, but nope, its very good.
* Madonna got in trouble in Germany. While she was fighting with the police on her crucifying scene on stage, she didn't have time for soundcheck so the crowd walked in to makeup less Madonna. On sound check... And Madonna asked them politely to be quite, LOL right! Read the whole story here.
*Finally, Paris Hilton's new album is not half as bad as I thought. Highlights for me are: Screwed, D'ya Think I'm Sexy
all for now :D

The Killers have made an epic video!!!

and heres the preview

Punk Music

On one of the lengthy conversations Me and Komi were having during midnight on MSN, she told me that she hates Punk Music. She said she believes that it is waste of time listening to punk music when all the artist does is scream. That got me thinking, how many people categorize punk by the music of the Mainstream punk bands of now, bands that only sing of sorrow and sadness that teenage little girl only connect to, like simple plan. Which got me thinking how sad the punk music scene has become that when we think punk, bands like simple plan or My Chemical Romance comes to mind. Personally I don't even consider simple Plan punk, to me they are cheesy teenage drama music. My Chemical Romance I have to admit, I like, but I don't consider their music punk. Their More of an emo/Pop band. So on this post, I will give you my definition of Punk music, of what I consider to be real punk rock artists.

1. Siouxsie and the Banshees: Many don't consider Siouxsie and the Banshees a Punk band. They are categorized more as a Goth band, and I do agree with that. However, They did release in my opinion one of the most influential punk albums, "The Scream". Sure later on in their career, Siouxsie found commercial success with songs like "Kiss Them For Me", and like most punk bands settled for a more pop sound, but "The Scream" still remains a flawless punk album in my opinion, so:
DL: Siouxsie and the Banshees - Carcass

2. The Clash: How cliche to include The Clash on my list Huh? Well, first, I love the Clash! They are amazing, and the whole raggae Punk thing really works for me. So:
DL: The Clash - Guns of Brixton

3. Dead Kennedys: Another band that I enjoy listening to every once in a while. Dead Kennedys, up to this day remain one of the most influential Punk bands ever. And their soo good!
DL: Dead Kennedys - Too Drunk To Fuck

4. Patti Smith: Probably my favourite artist out of the bunch, this Punk poet changed the way we listen to punk. With one of the best rated albums of the past century "Horses", Patti Smith changed the face of punk music forever. She later went on to make music in the general rock category but to this day, her most influential work remains to be "Horses".
DL: Patti Smith - Rock & Roll Nigger

5. Richard Hell & the Viodoids: Richard Hell was one of the first bands to emerge out of the 1970's New York punk scene. His music to me has a very care free sound to it, and makes me happy to listen to.
DL: Richard Hell & the Voidoids - Liars Beware

6. Sex Pistols: The most influential and famous punk band ever, I just had to include them.
DL: Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen

Yeah Yeah Yeahs: The last one of the bunch. With all the mentioned artist above being from 1970's, which in my opinion is when the best punk music was made, I felt the need to include one of the new Punk artists of our time. I personally don't listen to any new punk music, because the popular ones are really bad, and for some reason I've never came across an underground punk band that I like. YYY's are really not a punk band, Specially with their new album, but their last album "Fever to Tell" had a very punk sound to it, so I decided to include them on the list.
DL: Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Date With A Night

Hahaha!!!

d'ya luv the new outfit or wut?! this was the result of me being bored, and hating the whole harbour crap and PJ Harvey's Is This Desire CD, i hope every1 likes it

Goldfrapp News

It seems like Goldfrapp have not given up on the North American market just yet. Their song can be heard on literally ALOT of comercials lately, including: Ooh La La on a commercial for Diet Coke, Fly Me Away on Feria Hair dye, and Number 1 is on a promotion clip for Laguna Beach season 3. Also the band is set to release a remix album titled "We Are Glitter", due out October 17th. The remix album includes the remixers such as DFA, Flaming Lips, Benny Benassi, Ewan Pearson, François K, Alan Braxe & Fred Falke and many more. Maybe Goldfrapp can have a nice sales overseas afterall. Anyways, I was looking through my Goldfrapp songs on my Comp and I found this that Some of You might Find interesting

Robbie Williams - Rudebox

I've never been a fan of Robbie Williams. I've actually found him quite gross, but I've always respected him as a singer who has made a name for himself over the years. Rudebox, is the latest single from Robbie Williams from his upcoming album which is suppose to be "his Most experimental album up to date". Watching this video for the fist time, the only thing I could do was laugh! And it wasn't because it was funny, it was pity laughing. This video looks like a bad parody done by Ali G(the guy who hosted the MTV Europe awards last year and half his jokes were not funny). This is the product of Robbie Williams, trying to boost up his already sinking career by rapping! Its like wearing an outfit that is clearly not made for you and does not fit you. In the end, all I can say is, Poor Robbie's career... Watch the video though, its a good laugh...

2 amazing new Videos

First, Scissor Sisters' Dont Feel Like Dancing


Second, Thom Yorke's HorrowDown Hill

The Cardigans

As some of you have guessed by now I have a thing for rock bands fronted by women. Garbage, Hole, Metric, siouxsie And the Banshees, Hole, Nodoubt, YYY's ... The list goes on and on, and I don't know why that is, but its always been that way. The Cardigans are my latest discovery, that fits this category: A rock Band fronted by a Woman. The lead singer Nina Persson has the ironic lyrics of Tori Amos, and still pulls of the sweetness of Dolores of the Cranberries. The Cardigans, originally from Sweden, have been named the best success story since Abba.

Their latest album "Super Extra Gravity" is a masterpiece on its own terms. It has a very "Sheryl Crow" quality, and yet it still manages to stay a very unique piece of art. The artwork for the album is in my opinion the best cover art ever, and that probably is the reason that led me to checking them out.
So:

Emily Hanes Solo Debut

Emily Hanes of the mildly popular group Metric has made a name for herself in the indie world during the past couple of years. Now she is planing to release a solo album, due out Sept. 26 called Knives Don't Have Your Back. You can preview a song from her upcoming album called Our Hell on her official website. The song has a very dreamy quality to it, and on a couple of listens, it has been growing on me.

Whoa Patti!

Wow! Patti smith's last announcements/news on her news section of her website have all been very anti war/ anti Bush.
This is the last posting, and its regarding the war in Lebanon:

The Israeli practice of collective punishment is a war crime under the Geneva Convention. Why are they allowed to do this? Because they have our permission? We send over four billion dollars in aid and weapons to Israel every year. We are paying for this devastation. The slaughter of children. The country in ruins.We are paying for this. George Bush willfully rejected a truce and now we have the Qana massacre on our head. Thirty seven of the dead were children. Qana is considered by some as the location of the first miracle of Christ. Turning water into wine. There is no wine flowing in Qana today. Only blood. Only blood.

I love Patti Smith, and I just want to say that we applaud you Patti and the world needs more people like you.

'04 Playlist

First, sorry about the lack of post. I'll post more from now on, hopefully. Second, I was bored and had nothing to do, so I made a list of songs that I listened to the most during the year 2004/early 2005. Now why 04 you might ask, the answer is I dont know, Ill do one for 05 soon too, so here they are:
1. Rufus Wainwright - The One You Love
I really loved this song from the moment I heard it. It has some really nice lyrics and its probably the most pop that Rufus Wainwright has gone. Its awesme
Watch The Video Here

2.Bjork - Oceania
"One Breath of Air", sings Bjork on the first line of the song. This song to me was a breath of fresh Air, and I loved it. I remeber it creeped my sister out a little and thats always a plus. I must admit that I did not fall in love with the song immidiately after hearing it. It took a good little while, but Its just soo freaking amazing.
Watch Video Here

3. Dido - Sand In My Shoes
I remember HATING Dido a while back, reason being: She was so overplayed, both on TV and in my mom's car! it was just so plain annoying, but once people started getting bored with her I started warming up to her. This song is one of her Golden Moments in My Opinion
Watch The Video Here

5. Sarah Slean - Out In the Park
I just adore her. She can do no wrong. This song being one of her finest moments
DL: Sarah Slean - Out in the Park

6. R.E.M - Aftermath
Who doesnt Love R.E.M.? This song, off their latest "Around the sun" annoyed me greatly at first, because the first 5 months that the album came out that was the only thing I'd hear in our house because my sister has a crazy obsession with R.E.M. but I started warming up to them as well.

7. Arcade Fire - Crown Of Love
one word for this song: Classic
DL: Arcade Fire - Crown Of Love
