BRETON

Despite my high level of antisociality, I managed to take some time off last month and see We Were Promised Jetpacks in Toronto (more amazingly, I should mention, I managed to convince a dear friend to come along, achievement unlocked). Anyhow, this post won't talk about WWPJ but instead of a warm-up band from London. Actually, I'm not going to blabber on about their amazingness and niceness, but instead I shall post a couple of their music videos; Edward the Confessor and Interference.

Enjoy and check out Fat Cat Records for more info!

EYES ON FIRE

I swear to god I did not hear this song from that franchise movie, whose title I shall not mention on this blog. However, I did end up listening to this song and somehow there is something about it that makes me enjoy it. I don't know if it's the dark or hopeless feeling I get from it. Maybe it's the slowness and anticipation I feel. Anyhow, I think it's a chill listen, so enjoy.

SWEET BABY, I NEED FRESH BLOOD

Okay, this is more my kind of video. I must say that the red colour adds a dimension to the whole video that simply makes it work. However, I don't like the ending with the swimming pool scene. It doesn't make sense to me thus I shall give this video 7 out of 10 (the comical stalker definitely brings an additional point to that grading). No, what the hell am I doing, grading music videos on my blog? I don't even know why I'm posting so many videos but it's okay (it is justified by an unnecessary cup of "coffee" and a late hour because 23:03 is indeed late for me).

As hard as it is I will try to move forward with my text and say that True Blood's soundtrack has some really good music and this is where I happened to hear Eels's Fresh Blood. So, if you're up for some chill music you can always check True Blood out.

ORIGIN OF LOVE

So far it's been over 12 hours since I started thinking of writing my essay... So far I have got the header in place and my name... However, here is an extremely good song from a good film. I have been trying to figure out if it's Hedwig's story that somehow touched me or if the song is just so good, well, I still don't know but I know that the song is good. It might have a lot to do with the fact that I like the story behind it about people being originally a four-legged and four-handed creatures who were split in half...

Check it out, the video I mean, but of course check out the story also (Aristophane's speech from Plato's Symposium).

9 CRIMES

Let me just post this song here. It's a very, very sad one and doesn't really fit with the current events, yet in the midst of all the bliss listening to this always makes me feel melancholic. Maybe this is a good reminder of how things can be so one should enjoy the good moments to the fullest. Yeah.

I have nothing to add to the above blabbering because this speaks enough for itself. If you want more of Damien Rice do check more of Damien Rice. Also, apologies for the poor video quality but this is exactly the version I really like.

Me and the Devil

This simply works.

Fine, I'll admit it. I heard this first on TB but anyhow, epic song is epic. I like how colourful the video is shot-wise (since obviously the actual colour scale used is not that wide). Still, for me the music video somehow hangs in the borderlines of life and death and I like that feeling, all the masks, costumes, sounds and so forth. Simply wonderful.

Check it out and appreciate what Gil Scott-Heron has brought.

MY LOVE ON TOP

I know he is not into this mainstream thing, especially Beyoncé BUT there is something about these lyrics that makes me think of him - the love of my life.

So, how about we will deal with this and let us feel this beat, at least a bit?
