Hey there mister, sister.

Have you missed me?
The simple and rigorous reason for I haven't been so active here is that the reality came to me. School.
But that shall not stop me from doing what I adore. Listening to stunning music! 

Leisure Alaska : What a great band.
There has been a bit difficulties regarding the band manage to stick together as a band, because at a time the band had low enstusiasme (a “classic” band killer?). The good news is that band is still a band though it's now scattered geographically (band members living/staying in The UK and Denmark).
Let's hope they find a solution to their problems... soon.

When I fall in love ...

... I listen to old songs. Imagine if I lived then . What a wonderful world.

This song is to be found in my topp 20 list. (That is not quite finished, just so it's been said. I'm unable to determine the last ten spots. Any opinions?)  -And not without reason.
ps. Who's jusitin bieber???

If he is not the voice of God, God never spoke.

I can’t believe that guy’s married to her. I would get her so pregnant.

Svensker ass...

Formed in Stockholm by  Adam Olenius (vocals), Ted Malmros (bass), Carl von Arbin (guitars),  Eric Edman (drummer) and Bebban Stenborg (keyboardist). With their peppy Swedish pop they melt my ears and heart.

In the car ...

Today I've been so lucky and come across two pleasant and cool songs. 

1st song: This I heard on the radion as I sat in the car and drove. 

The Naked and Famous are a five piece indie band from New Zealand.

On December 6, 2010, BBC announced that The Naked and Famous had been nominated for BBC's Sound of 2011. -And not without reason.



Love this kind of voice. I give in every time!



Had to add their hit because it was so, so beautiful ...

2nd song: This morning I came across this song and was hooked immediately. Yes, I still have holiday. - Let it never stop!
RAC remix for the new Psychic Powers single Dreamboat.

If I was a man, I would look like this.

 

 and if I looked this good, I would have managed to hijack me two of these

Masterful filmmaking and masterpiece music

When a movie is so good that it makes my day, my week, my month, and the soundtrack`s incredible as well, I call it a  perfect movie. Danny Boyle`s 127 Hours is such a film.

I  couldn`t have said it better:
 "And while a movie about a guy stuck in a narrow gorge might not sound very interesting visually, Boyle is more than up to that challenge. The result is a white-knuckle rollercoaster that takes us deep into Ralston's psyche until we share the experience with him. Yes, it's shattering, but it's also exhilaratin...g to watch. Although "watch" isn't the right word for this film. "Experience" is more like it.
(...) And with music touching on just about every conceivable genre, AR Rahman has invented a fresh new way to score movies. (...) And that's the sign of masterful filmmaking."

And when the film ended with Sigur Ros - Festival, it reached heights I thought was impossible to reach. 




While we`re talking about Sigur Ros, I`ll exploit this chance to highlight some of their other works.
The video alone is a masterpiece!




Here are the guys behind it all. They`re talking about how they make their music and play "Agaetis byrjun".

ta siggen såm en fredspipe å trekk inn, blås ringer ut a trutn, få det ut

I came across  this  "old" Norwegian  song  here  this morning.  Well, it's not old-old, but it feels like it. It came  out  in October 2002. But it was only  in  January 2003 "Utadæsjælåpplevelse" took completely off. The single was on the VG-lista Topp 40 in 19  weeks,  including  several  weeks  in the third.The single rounded eventually certified platinum.

I drop to add  the spotify-version of  this song, because it sucked.
Here it is to be enjoyed, with text, so there are no excuses for not singing along.

Gorillaz was created in 1998 by British musician Damon Albarn and British cartoonist Jamie Hewlett.
The four members  of  the band is 2D (lead vocalist, keyboard), Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar), Noodle (guitar, keyboard, and occasional vocals) and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion).

 
Gorillaz – On Melancholy Hill
This song reminds me instant of summer 2010. And that is a feeling I love!
Hence, I love this song.



This show (Late Show with David Letterman) constantly  surprises  with  great  artists  and  bands!
Gorillaz – Empire Ants (Feat. Little Dragon)

Confessions

Since it is  weekend I choose to play a few songs that I otherwise would not have played. If so,  not  here  for you. And here we go.

N.E.R.D. - HOT-n-FUN
I have once ealier posted this song, only then the original version. And I still think these geek guys rock.
Spotify:
N.E.R.D. – Hot-n-Fun


BARBRA STREISAND
Okay, I guess it's a hit-list-song, but I've been  bewitched!
Spotify:
Duck Sauce – Barbra Streisand - Original Mix
Duck Sauce – Barbra Streisand - Radio Edit




And an old one. Yes, I love this one. -And why on earth is he gay?
Spotify:
George Michael – Freeek! - Remastered 2006

Freeze this frame. Now call down your dark and your cold and be damned.

 Did not know that it was impossible to miss a place as much as I miss Hawai`i.

It`s difficult to describe Hawai`i in so few words. It probably wouldn`t be fair.
But at this moment in time, I would say ... it's better than my best dreams. It's real.

For the good times

 

On my mind

 

In my dreams

First breath after coma

One of my favorite artist must be this man: MOBY.
I understand people who call him boring, but I see only the beauty of it. He makes wonderful music with few words.

I guess it's no  secret  that I have a weakness for indie and folk music. Crystal  Fighters  cover  my  needs  in  a  great way!
