Ender Belongs To Me. Keeping Yours - Head On

Keeping Yours - Head On is a strange song, full of foreboding but as light as air. The vocals are so, so fragile. The beat is strong but hollow like a daydream. The idea of pasts lost and futures bleak flows through the entire song - everything is seen through a haze, full of craving for the time you thought you saw in that long lost home video. The one from before everything went wrong.

New Look Blog!

What do you think? The old one was getting on my nerves; I really liked it at the beginning but recently it's been looking...well...cheap. So I've re-done it, and I likes it now!

Foreign Friday: Latvia

I love doing these posts. I love that I found a Latvian music collective even more. It makes my job easier. So all three of these bands are involved with TORNIS, a society formed in 1998 to support Latvian underground and unsigned artists.

I really like this, but no surprises there! Also, according to google translate, this band's name in English is Pigeon Full Yards. To my Latvian readers (I know you're out there!) is that right? Balozu Pilni Pagalmi, Mans Zirgs

I know this one! I know this one! Well, the "October" bit, anyway. It almost reminds me of Sunny Day Real Estate. Sarkanais Oktobris, Iedoma 

I love all these songs. I just wish I spoke Latvian so I could understand the lyrics! Bernibas Milicija, Ara

New Year, New Music, Part II

Me: This was supposed to be Thursday's.
You: ...
Me: Oh.
You: ...
Me: Why was I not told today is Thursday?

After the dreamy-ness that was "yesterday's" post, this is, rather ironically, a refreshing burst of rockiness. Throwing Up, Medicine

I don't doubt the majority of you know who Nada Surf are, and need no introduction. To the rest of you, well, have a listen. Nada Surf, When I Was Young

Nope, it's useless. I started this post hoping to do a bit of rock music, and then came Nada Surf. Ok, goes I, I'll make track three rock. But then there's this. Which rocks, don't get me wrong, but whether it is technically rock is a matter of opinion. Cloud Nothings, No Future/No Past

New Year, New Music

This was supposed to be Wednesdays...hmm.

It's taken me so long to look up this band it's unreal. Keep Shelly In Athens, Struggle With Yourself

I love LaBlogotheque. Adam and The Amethysts, Stupid Ocean

This one is thanks to my friend Heather. Listen to it, she's got good judgement. But then she's friends with me, so there you go. Daughter, Youth

Label Day: Eyeball Records

Eyeball Records.

That' s a name to strike fear into the soul, eh?

I like this. Astronautalis, The Wondersmith and His Sons

Bit of an odd one here. It starts more pop-punk than it actually is. Kiss Kiss, Machines

The third, as promised: Sinister elecro strangeness. Food Stamps, I Am Jack's Nightlight

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Ahem.

Ye gods, has it really been that long? Sorry. Anyway, onwards and upwards, as they say. 2012 is the year of MM world domination (not to be confused with M&M world domination)! That is NY resolution numero uno, oh yes.

NYR 2: More posts. I have been neglecting this blog, I know I have. And thus I have decided that I'm going to try and post once a day like I used too.

NYR 3: Longer posts. Sometimes. It's been suggested that I could do the occasional Big Article, so that's something I'm going to attempt.

NYR 4: Get out of my multifarious boxes. This is where you come in, folks! I'm on the look out for good rap - i.e the stuff that doesn't rot your brain. Aesop Rock springs to mind, but if you've got any suggestions please comment! Metal, too, would be good - nothing over ten minutes though, I don't have all day! (that was a joke. Not a very good one I'll admit.) The other thing is Foreign Friday - underground music from other countries, in English or not - is always helpful. Always. 

Have a good 2012!
