My mom put him in the washing machine yesterday, and as such he's slightly disoriented/queasy, but he is slowly regaining composure and will soon be back to his good old self. :P
On to other things!
So, my mom was watching CSI:NY the other day and I heard a song that sound super good, but had no idea what it was. So today I finally found out what it was.
"Until we bleed" - Kleerup ft. Lykke Li
It's electronic music by Kleerup w/ Lykke's voice. Both of them are from Sweden. I decided to check out more of their music in general.
I really like Kleerup's self titled album. It features various artists, including Robyn (remember her hits back in 95/96 :P). It's generally chill - not intense techno electro. Think more of "The Knife".
Another really good song on the album is "Hero".
As for Lykke Li herself, I find each song has a more or less different sound. Her voice is cute and it's not as electronic as Kleerup. Some is more popish. It's nice :)
Another band I've recently started listening to is Trentemoller. This dude is from Denmark (this is looking to be a scandanavian music post it seems).
Anyways, also minimal electro, not many vocals - in fact I think most of the tracks are instrumental.
But this one has vocals :P
This video has a dog in space (like Laika!)
Rediscoveries:
Alright, so leaving scandanavia -> England: After watching "Billy Elliot" the other day, I rekindled my interest in T-Rex. I had heard of them first from Paw, and then got into them again after watching "Breakfast on Pluto". Both of those movies have my fave song by them "Children of the Revolution" on the soundtrack. In fact...it seems they played a lot of songs in movies I like :)
Here's an interesting performance with Elton John and Ringo Star:
Finally -> Mexico! As summer is coming, festive music is appropriate. I had listened to Celso Pina before, but only about 3 songs (Cumbia sobre el Rio, Cumbia Poder, Cumbia Colombiana). I really like the style because it mixes a bunch of stuff - including accordions, which I love :)
I first found out of about them because of the movie "Babel" - cumbia sobre el rio was playing. It was the scene where the dude played by Gael Garcia Bernal is driving everyone across the border and you see parts of Mexico.
As I love all 3 of those tracks, I decided to listen to more. I got the albums Mundo Colombia y Barrio Bravo. I can't really say which tracks I like best, but it's a general festive feel and appropriate for the approaching of summer time :D
One of my friends has also decided to listen to something festive - she's started listening to older Santana...so I might do the same too :) It sounded pretty good, har har har.
Anyways, that ends my long easter music post recap thing.
Until next time *salutes*
