...

WAIT!!! what about the music yo??? right right... okay, so here's Daft Punk ya goons!!!



i just figured that daft punk would fit in with the new years celebrations. right, so daft punk is a electronica house duo from paris, france that formed back in 1993. they are held up in high regards and are considered the pioneers in the french house genre. they have received critical acclaim all over the world for their catchy singles and amazing live shows.

in 2006 daft punk headlined the dance tent at coachella and instantly became one the best live acts in the world. seriously, their live shows became an instant success and thrilled many people across the globe. just recently the duo has completed the Tron Legacy soundtrack to the film of the same name. it's a mostly instrumental affair, but fans love it nonetheless.



daft punk always make me happy and take me back to a time when i was young and music became a forefront to adventurous new horizons. (late night mxtxvx and such were my outlets...) yep yep yep, so here is some music to make you dance and enjoy yourself. don't waste it!!!

first place in their disco the amazing debut album, Homework. next is my personal favorite which is the album, Discovery. after that is their third album, Human After All, and then their Alive 2007 album. lastly is the newly released soundtrack album, Tron Legacy. get in on the fun and dig it...

happy new year...

Pressing Matters...

time is of the essence tonight because, by golly, I NEED REST!!! i also want to add that Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is currently playing, and for some strange reason, i love that friggin' show. i don't know why i love it so, but for some reason, some really strange BIG reason, i just doooooooooooo... (maybe it's because people are doing what they love???)

you know, i love my writing. i'm not saying that in a proud and boastful way, no. what i mean is, i love my writing because it's me talking. i'm trying to get down to the nitty gritty, and it seldom leads to places i don't know the ending to. it must be my own personal therapy. it does help, no doubt about that. still, it's my outlet and it love to use it. the things i see and do are an everyday experience, and sometimes i just gotta write it down. now, i do know that a lot of the times on this blog, i write from a pretty depressing point of view. my excuse for that is just the timing. it's how i felt at that moment. tonight, right now, i feel full and exercised. i'm ready to call it in and get some shut eye, but not before i write something down. that's really all there is tonight. to cap it off, i'm going to be doing something here for the very first time...

and that first time thing is write a music post for an artist that kindly asked me. i have been wondering if this would happen, but i never wanted to kid myself. delusions of grander have led me to terrible places. BUT, such is not the case tonight folks!!! the artist in question goes by his full name of, Kyle Bobby Dunn.



this young musical artist (who could be ian curtis's twin) calls brooklyn, new york his current home and, as it seems, is creating something very profound while submerged by that concrete jungle. to describe his music, i'm going to have to take a trip.

i awake in a barren field, surrounded by large mountains in the distance and rushing water to my right. the clouds slowly pass by without a glance and my arms are soft as they lay beside me on the smooth green grass. i rise up and walk towards the north, not knowing if that actually is the north. the sky changes color, from blue to violet, to green, to red, to orange, to black. i am overtaken by the vast empty space that is now creeping up my body like a sticky shadow. there is no more ground, no more mountains, no more sky, no more nothing. complete darkness with a cold that's colder that cold. i close my eyes to the blank space and await for something to happen. i slowly peel the lids back and see that everything has changed once again. i am now surrounded by a sea of people. they move briskly, not stopping to see me naked. i am naked. the ground is scratchy on my feet and the cars rush wind on my chest. i float along like pollen being carried by the season. the people have no expression, no desires. it's completely normal to me. normal because i am the same way...

ambient music and minimalism go hand in hand. there is something about the simplicity, yet utter relentless focus on the textures that makes one contemplate many things in general. the compositions and loops that reverberate and come back to are what make ambient music so appealing to me. this isn't to say that this type of music is dumbed down, or easy to create. no, because on the other hand, it's simply a matter of knowing how and when to make your move. kyle bobby dunn is surprisingly good. really REALLY good. there is a ton of weight being carried here in the pieces that he has created.

while getting the scoop on this guy, i checked around and found some big named artists he is compared to. i won't go so far as to name drop here, because it isn't really what the focus is. the focus is on the music, and despite my limited range of critique and experience, i believe this to be something very special. this is great headphone music. this is great study music. this is great ignoring music. this is just great music, plain and simple. i really wish i could go further with this, but i'm stopping here. it all boils down to a simple matter of trusting me, and letting your curiosities relish a bit.

now, as for my usual music wrap up, i'm changing that for tonight as well. kyle bobby dunn asked me to not post a download, so i'm going to honor that. instead, here is what he gave me to review, and that was enough to quickly make me a fan. it's a double album called, A Young Person's Guide To Kyle Bobby Dunn. it's being sold through an independent label called, low point releases, and if you are interested, check it out. supporting the artists through such means is an important endeavor, and i still try when i can.

do yourself a favor and be curious sometimes...

Stopped Up...

well, it seems schuyler has come down with a sickness... (ugh, i hate that silly band who's song that phrase sounds familiar to...) i don't know what it is, but i'm assuming it's just a simple cold, or possibly a flu, so right now i'm at home and typing this. yes, i took a sick day. this type of common illness can probably be treated with some over the counter meds and i think there is plenty of that stuff lying around the house, so yeah, gonna be good as new.

in other news, my dad is currently driving to tulsa to see his favorite band, Rush. i have no actual feelings for that band, and i have no feelings towards their music. i know this makes me sound like a huge jerk, but gosh, i really have no feelings towards their fans either. i don't know why so many people like them. they aren't that great. heck, in my own strange little world, i'd like to say i've seen much better bands play basement shows, but of course that wouldn't matter since no one else was there besides me. i guess it's just a simple matter of taste, and i'm not enjoying the texture their music leaves behind. i think geddy lee has an annoying voice, neil pert is overrated and alex lifeson is just, eh... maybe it's the generation gap, but hey, i like Led Zeppelin as much as my dad does, or did, so i don't think it's that. i try my best to be as open minded to all types of music as i can, but face it, i just don't like the proggy styles of rush. maybe it's just their fans that keep my away, much like how Slipknot and most metal shows in general made me hate them. eh, who knows. certainly not me i guess...

hmm, i wonder what kind of music can help sooth my feeble body and make things better??? i don't think punk or metal will suffice, and neither will all the rest. hmm... and hmmm... and some more hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... WAIT!!! i know!!! how about the music of Brian Eno!!!



brian eno is one of the worlds best producers, period. he's been involved in the music industry since 1970, originally playing with the proto-punk/glam/nu-wave band, Roxy Music, who will get their chance on this blog in the near future. some of eno's most notable work is his producer credits on classic albums by the likes of, U2, Massive Attack, Coldplay, The Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Devo and James. in, or around 1973, eno went solo and produced critically acclaimed solo albums that pushed the boundaries of electronic minimalistic music, and thus, re-wrote the book on many subjects. he's also credited for inventing the term, "ambient."

for eno's discography, i'm only posting the important stuff that matters most to me. we first start with his amazing debut, Here Come the Warm Jets. this is then followed by the album, Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy). after that we then meet his most cherished work, which is the album, Another Green World. this contains the hit song, "st. elmo's fire" and is also the sort of birth place for his instrumental, ambient textures. after that is the album Discreet Music, which is considered the first all ambient album. next is his final solo album that features his vocals, and it's called, Before and After Science. and lastly, we finally come to my favorite eno releases, which are his four ambient albums. volume one (my personal favorite) is called, Music for Airports. volume two is called, The Plateaux of Mirror, followed by volume three which is called, Day of Radiance, and then, finally, the fourth volume which is called, On Land. try these out and space out while your at it. get to feelin' better...

jet lagged again...

Love Moves Me...

sorry again that it's been a while since i've posted on here. this past weekend was a bit different, so i didn't much care to take the time to make a post. i instead had fun watching New Found Glory, seeing OU beat the snot outta florida state, and eating good home cooked food from my mom. so, in all, it was a nice retreat from the usually, painful existence i've been living this past year. i so gotta move out of this house. it's literally killing me...

you know that time when your awake, and yet not??? or maybe asleep, yet awake??? when all space is frozen and you feel almost coma-like??? that sometimes happens to me. it usually ends up in one of those 'out of body' experiences. those are a bit scary, but also interesting. it always seems like it's the opportunity to witness something amazing. my only worry, and this is always the big one, is whether or not i can come back to when experiencing these odd moments.

my main point here is that the music for tonight reminds me of those bizarre scenarios. those jet lagged focal points that seem to happen quite often. case in point, here's the music of, Julee Cruise. let's get a bit dreamy...



julee cruise is my ultimate dream-pop singer. she's a majestic artist who creates this comforting womb with just her voice. it's this ultimate Phil Spector 'wall of sound' style that i adore. cruise, has been active in music and theater since 1985 and quickly rose to fame during the 90's cult classic television show, Twin Peaks. the soundtrack to that show was mostly written by creator, David Lynch, with the main focus being on cruise's unique vocal approach. she became known for the show's theme song, "falling" as well as other notable tracks like, "rockin' back inside my heart" and "floating".



here today, it's my great pleasure to present her debut album, which is titled, Floating Into the Night. this was the shows soundtrack and it's a great piece of work. i love love LOVE it!!! go dig some and try to get some good, healthy, sleep...

Tell your heart that I'm the one

Tell your heart it's me

I want you
Rockin' back inside my heart
I want you
Rockin' back inside my heart
Rockin' back inside my heart

Shadow in my house
The man he has brown eyes
She'll never go to Hollywood
Love moves me

I want you
Rockin' back inside my heart
I want you
Rockin' back inside my heart
Rockin' back inside my heart

Tell your heart, you make me cry
Tell your heart, don't let me die

I want you
Rockin' back inside my heart
I want you
Rockin' back inside my heart
Rockin' back inside my heart

Shadow in my house
The man he has brown eyes
She'll never go to Hollywood
Love moves me

I want you
Rockin' back inside my heart
I want you
Rockin' back inside my heart
Rockin' back inside my heart
She'll never go to Hollywood.

Do you remember our picnic lunch?
We both went up to the lake
And then we walked among the pines
The birds sang out a song for us
We had a fire when we came back
And your smile was beautiful
You touched my cheek and you kissed me
At night we went for a stroll
The wind blew our hair
The fire made us warm
The wind blew the waves
Out on the lake
We heard the owl in a nearby tree.
I thought our love would last forever.

All is full of...

today was a better day, but i'm still feeling a bit bad. i'm also very tired and hungry. maybe i'll check out the new jack n' the box they opened down the road. anyway, today is wednesday so that means new Top Chef tonight!!! (i have things to look forward to despite how i currently feel...)

i wanted to be a little artsy with today's post. not saying its art school junk or whatever, but today's artist is considered avant-garde and highly unique. i'm talking about the glory that is, Björk.



björk guðmundsdóttir, or better know simply as, björk, is an icelandic singer/songwriter who has been in the music industry since her debut solo album in 1977. she has been nominated for both, grammy and academy awards, and has one several of them. once she dropped her self titled debut, she joined the post-punk band, Tappi Tíkarrass in 1981, left them and then joined The Sugarcubes in 1986, who were also post-punk, but with a more nu-wave/gothic type of style. in 1992 the sugarcubes broke up and björk pursued her solo career, releasing her second album, Debut in 1993. the album became an instant hit in the alternative music world with such songs as, "human behavior" "venus as a boy" and "big time sensuality". this was trumped by her next album called, Post, which became an ultimate smash hit. it even has a spot in the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums Ever Made issue, ranking in at number 373.

in 2007 i got the chance to see björk play at that year's Coachella Music Festival. it was an awesome moment for sure, but i got a text from my buddies telling me to get to the small tent to watch Gogol Bordello. to this day i don't regret doing that. björk is cool to see live, but i'd much rather witness her spectacle in something smaller than a huge outdoor festival. (imho of course!!!)



for her music we have three albums. first is the album, Debut which wasn't really her debut, then after that is the incredible album, Post. and in last place is the album, Homogenic. these three are my personal faves and each one is in order by release. oh, and the video for "all is full of love" was directed by Chris Cunningham who is a genius. enjoy!!!

your phone is off the hook...

I'm Drone...

i feel a bit sick right now. i think i stressed myself to the point of sickness. it's not the first time that's happened. anyway, i had to get my car fixed which i did and i'm glad to be done with that. bbbbuuuuuutttttt the thing that's stressing me the most is my current job search. i recently applied with with my tribe and i just found out today that there are 15 people who applied including me. i'm going to keep my hope up and my prayers prayed because i really need this job, or at least something. i feel my layers being peeled back almost to the point of having nothing left...

it's still raining here, so the day feels depressing and quiet. this kind of weather can do that to people. for me it's just another by-the-numbers sort of thing. (oh, i'm so full of DRAMA...) ppppfffffttttt yeah, so anyway here's some music to fit the mood, courtesy of Stars of the Lid.



stars of the lid is an electronic/ambient duo from austin, texas. the members are brian mcbride and adam wiltzie. they started their collaboration in 1993 and have been going strong ever since. their songs are largely beatless soundscapes, composed of droning, effects-treated guitars along with piano, strings, and horns; volume swells and feedback fill the gap of rhythmic instruments, providing dynamic movement within the songs. Their sound has been described as "divine, classical drone without the tedious intrusion of drums or vocals". ---according to their wikipedia profile...

if you happen to like artists like Talk Talk, Brian Eno and Labradford then the stars of the lid are right up your skirt. for today i'm posting only one album from the duo. it's their 2007 double album titled, Stars of the Lid and their Refinement of the Decline. it's an amazing collection of music bursting from the seams and ready to be digested by curious and open-minded listeners. ambient music is for the background, so try it out when doing homework, or relaxing, or even when making love while on psychedelic drugs...

i can hear the water drops...

I see a light come shinin'...

my little brother got bit by a spider, a brown recluse to be exact. (fiddle back) it's on his side, just below the left arm. the poor little guy is in pain, but mostly scared from the treatment he has to have. my mom puts some sort of burning medication on the bites which causes them to build up (they look like pimples) and then she pops them, or rubs them in order for the puss to clean out. it's a tricky process, only made that way by my brother's sheer terror of the pain that comes from the burning. i've been bitten by a spider, but not a fiddle back. i asked her how he was bitten, but it's up in the air. those little creeps can dwell anywhere and it would be no surprise if he was bitten in bed or at recess. i was bitten in bed by a spider once as well. it was horrible, not because of the pain, but because it was a freekin' SPIDER!!! one of my biggest fears in the entire universe and all existence is spiders. there's just something about how they creep along slowly or fast like, and then how they become motionless like statues when waiting to pounce on their prey. their colors and shape as well as names and habitats really get under my skin. i've had many moments of hyperventilating when confronted unexpectedly by those demon insects. spiders aren't really great company here. i always think they're sent here to spy on me, or us...

making our way to thursday this week, we come to another classic 60's group. here is, The Band.



this canadian by-way-of new york, rock group is one of the best remembered 60's musical acts to ever exist. (1965-1976) considered highly amongst critics and other fellow musicians, the band were great makers of americana music that spoke to the generation at the time as well as those who followed. originally the backing band for Bob Dylan, the band began work on their own music in 1966-1968 after dylan was injured in a motorcycle accident. during this time, they would contribute to the now famous, bob dylan Basement Tapes, album.

in 1968, their first album titled, Music From Big Pink, was released to the public. the name comes from the pink house they rented to make the album. it was critically acclaimed, and the song titled, "the weight" was used in the crappy 60's film i hate so much called, Easy Rider. (i just hate bikers...) they were not to be pegged with the popular psychedelic genre at the time, and instead chose a more laid back, folk/soul style approach to their music.



during this time, (1969) the band would tour in support of big pink and make appearances at woodstock and isle of wright in england with dylan again. also in the same year, the band went back to the studio and recorded their self titled masterpiece. this would become their biggest charting album to date, and it contains many of their most recognized songs. their music at this time stood on contrast to what was popular, and with that i give them much credit. inspired by such artistic quality, Eric Clapton, even changed his style and came back with a more focused and less experimental approach. this was seen in other artists as well, like bob dylan and The Byrds and even today's modern artists like those in the alt-country genre. bands like, Lucero, Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Drag the River, Colexico and Wilco all share some resemblance to this classic group.

yep yep yep, it seems music can be as good as another, but it takes guts to truly make it great. the band happened to be one such act. today you will will find those first two albums that i've mentioned already, oh and just to mention it for my sake, both albums ranked #34 and #45 in Rolling Stones Top 500 Greatest Albums Ever Made. dig it...

i shall be released...

Metamorphosis 49...

it's another friday again. i have a few things to sort out as well as finish the final touches on my powwow outfit. we have an awesome powwow coming up on april 17th. it's the OU powwow and it's a good one to check out. i want to get my outfit ready by then, so i have about two weeks left to work on it. my fingers are now crossed...

in other news, here's some music that might not be considered too exciting, but non-the less, fantastic. here's Philip Glass.



music for those who want to ignore music, i consider philip glass to be in that area of expertise. a wonderful, minimalist composer, glass started his work in music by the age of 15. over the years, he has become one with the minimalist style of classical music, but not a fan of the tag. his music has been used in many films, and most recently, nominated for academy awards.

today you will find just one album by the man. it's titled, Solo Piano, and is my personal favorite work from the composer. it's subtle, yet beautiful music that often repeats itself in an ambient sort of way. enjoy!!!

what a day...

Swamp Bottom...

it's been another long day for me. just to recap a bit, i had a hard time getting to sleep last night. when i eventually dozed off, i entered into dream land and had some very strange things appear. i can't seem to remember them right now, which i hate because some of them seemed significant. regardless, when i dream it's otherworldly and often indescribable, which all dreams usually are. one thing i do remember is seeing someone i love appear in the last dream. it's someone i miss and often think about. strange that when i woke up i happened to have a text from her...

in my dream state i heard music. i remember the tune because it's something very beautiful that always stuck with me. it's a classical piece created and conducted by japanese composer, Joe Hisaishi.



there is a scene in the movie, Spirited Away, that left me in awe at how brilliant it was shot. it's a simple segment in the film where the heroin and her buddy's, ride a train floating on the water. the song during this scene is called, "sixth station" it's a little depressing, but mostly beautiful and wonderfully shot. the landscape travels past at a good speed, but not so fast that we can't see what's in the distance. it's little things like that that make life better than what it is. it's inspirational and thought provoking. it sometimes feels like nobody take the time to stop and observe. i do that a lot. probably too much!!! lol

joe hisaishi started his career in 1974 by doing the music for a short animated program. he arose to fame with his scores for most of hayao miyazaki's movies. today i'm posting my two favorites, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. both of the soundtracks are great collections of classical work, along with some minimalism and brief electronic moments. the first album contains some really epic, sweeping scores that make you picture huge places and huge ideas. it's lush and organic in it's approach. and for the second album, it takes a seat back and resides in it's own, unique, style of minimalism music. there are whisper soft parts and intense roller coaster adventures. it's all great work and complements the movies very well. so, i hope you enjoy these albums and if you haven't, go see these two films NOW!!!

dream on...

Oh, how they come and go...

deep dark caverns of the deepest dark you can imagine...when i was there, it felt like no other. there were no others. there was only me and myself. of course i now know that was not true, but at the time it sure felt like it and sometimes today it still comes back, creeping up like smoke under the door. what is it like to feel this way??? i can't tell you because i try my best to not remember it. it was probably the most painful experience i've ever had in my life up till now and that means that my parents divorce from my chilhood doesn't even compare.

why am i writing this down??? is there a point to all this??? am i being too over the top and full of my own self pity??? i really don't know...i just wanted to write something down and remember for just a little bit of a time that was hard to live. well, life is sometimes hard to live and we all have problems to deal with. i know that for sure. but, sometimes i think back and question what was going on. was there a way that i could of handled it better??? did i have to repeat the same mistakes over and over again hoping that they would be different each time???

you see, at college i began this steady decent into a personal hell. i slowly began to crumble under something i could not understand. eventually i found someone who pulled me out of the catacombs only to send me back in much faster and deeper than before. it's not that persons fault though. i fully stand by that statement. it was my own fault...i made choices that i already knew the outcome of. by no doubt a fool's choice. an ignorant fool i was...

so, with all this depressive writing, what am i gettin' at here??? well i wanted to get back into that spirit for only a little bit to bring you to the music post here. while i was in that phase of my life i found someone who i became attached to. actually two people, but i will post on one just for now and save the other for my next post. the person i want to mention is non other than Nick Drake. the singer songwriter who tragically died at the young age of 26. he committed suicide by overdose. for some reason, i became attracted to those who committed suicide. i don't relish this fact because like i said, i was a fool. i still am in many ways...

the music this man made was an outlet for just the few minutes that they lasted. this man knew pain and isolation. he knew what it felt like to be in those places i described above. he knew and i was glad to discover that fact because for those who were not me, which is everyone, they could not even begin to fathom what my life was like. they can only speculate and i wondered if they even cared at all. (which i know a lot did...)

it's during those quiet times that i listened to Nick. his soft cool voice was warm and tender. he was a story teller. he told us about himself and what life is like for others. he spoke words that he had written. he inspired me to write better. to write some truth and not to bs people. here are the lyrics to the song "river man".

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves.

Said she hadn't heard the news
Hadn't had the time to choose
A way to lose
But she believes.

Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time.

If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertime.

Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure.

For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more.

Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the ban
On feeling free.

If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don't suppose
It's meant for me.

Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go.

here for the post are three albums. first is his debut Five Leaves Left and then his second album Bryter Layter and then his third and final album Pink Moon. that is it and i hope you might take a chance and give them all a listen. just to be warned, this is music that is pretty mellow and not always the best thing to listen to when in certain moods. yeah, i sound like i'm contradicting myself from all the stuff i've written, but it's very true. this is very mellon collie music. i just found it to be there for me when i was in those certain "moods". standout tracks from the albums such as "fly", "northern sky", "fruit tree", "pink moon", and the already mentioned and personal favorite, "river man" are ones that i hold dear to my heart.
