A trip down not-so-distant memory lane. Was stucked in the slight jam this morning and this band came rock-danced on my car stereo on random. Instantly reminded me of the tiny (but awesome fun) gig these guys came over to perform couple years ago.
So yeah anyhow, We Are Scientists are coming out with a new album, Brain Thrust Mastery, this March — minus the jungle-beard drummer, Michael Tapper, who left the band “in order to pursue other things.” What does that ever mean when people say that?
Maybe this video provoked him to quit. I mean, he’s a mean drummer and all, but he looked really, really bored in this acoustic. But it’s not a bad version of the song. I like it.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
* Twelve cricket ball tamperers
* Eleven syllable names
* Ten-minute yoga
* Nine telemarketers
* Eight Bollywood films
* Seven-11 workers
* Six IT graduates
* Five Indian games
* Four Hari Krishnas
* Three butter chickens
* Two nosy in-laws
* And a totally insufficient dowry
I don’t really listen to J-Pop or to any of that genre (X-Japan is an exception), but this cover by one Miss Angela AKi is too good to pass (anything Smashing Pumpkins-related is too good to pass!). The song is in Jap, except for the chorus, which she sang in English. Check out the video and get the track below.
Sometimes when you watched a low key movie trailer and you just know you will enjoy it. No special effects, no kung-fu scenes, no raining bullets and explosives. Just plain dialogue-based-everyday-life moments and a few laughs here and there, easy-going type of movie.
Juno, dubbed the “Little Miss Sunshine of this year,” is one of those movies that I would really love to watch when it is released later this year. I think this track suits the theme of the movie perfectly. It’s sorta … cute.
P/S: I’m dedicating this song to a new found friend because she thinks the song is cute, and she’s also celebrating her birthday today. I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else, but you. Happy Birthday, you!
I haven’t been posting here for a while. Apologies for that.
Smashing Pumpkins’ have just released their latest single a few days ago, That’s The Way (My Love Is). It’s a pretty decent track, somehow managed to remind me of Try, Try, Try from the Machina-era (must be the beat).
What I don’t get is the political-themed CD cover. What’s up with that? First it was Paris Hilton on Tarantula, now it’s Death’s turn. Watch out Mr Eddie Vedder, Mr Corgan is joining politics with a (so-called) love song.
Oh, and the video to the single? It was OK, typical Pumpkins style. Watch it for yourself.
