Secret Mommy


So when I said I would find something odd... I really had no idea what I was talking about. However, I went through my computers music catalog and found something that is best described as experimental electronica mixed with basic cable during a rainstorm and dying frog babies all during a French ballet performance. So its not only odd, but pretty much the craziest strangest blend of sound forced into your ear holes, its an acquired taste that I throughly enjoy. Its all called Secret Mommy and no, I have no idea why they would use such a strange name, all I know is that most of his songs are composed of noises recorded while outside or in a public location, like a dance studio, as the song Dance Studio would indicate. The MP3s don't stop there though, I have three extra tracks AND an amazing remix by Secret Mommy, so download and be utterly blown away... or wonder if I'm just completely crazy.

Back from the Grave!


I know I've been treating this blog like a neglected red headed orphan begging for more soup only to be rejected by its masters, but now things are gonna change! I will post something at least... every... FRIDAY! So Friday it is then, and as a bonus I will even have another one by THIS Friday too, and then the blog will fall into a nice repetitive cycle of MP3 goodness, that is until I get lazy again though... Soup for everybody!

...and MP3s too! These are just five random tracks that have been circulating like musical blood through my Zune lately, yeah I have a Zune instead of an iPod, wanna fight about it?

Animal Collective - Street Flash


Beck - Tropicalia


Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor

Interpol - Evil

Klaxons - Magick

Bonus: Klaxons - Magick Music Video

I'm From Barcelona

Hey everyone this is... Ryan!

I, unlike Zach, was able to make it out to Coachella this year. By far one of the best shows there was the little known band I'm From Barcelona, appearing on stage with around twenty gigantic red balloons and enough energy for five more concerts, it was a spectacle to partake and enjoy. Everything from the piles of confetti to the movements that went along with their opening song "Treehouse" led by a middle aged man wearing glasses and red spandex, made this band into one of the most memorable events of Coachella.
Posted below is the song "The Painter" which falls into the 'repeat after me' style of lyrics, has an infectiously happy sound and, like most of their songs, will probably put a smile on your face. Oh, and did I mention that the band consists of twenty nine people, just another reason why they put on such a memorable show.
