Hello-hello!
It’s been a couple of weeks since my first post, and I had all these subsequent plans to post every friday (and I was going to do a special Canada Day post) but I have failed you all. All 7 of you. I apologize.
I’ve been busy, and quite frankly I should expect you all to understand how difficult it is to live! Takes up all of your time.
Sooooo to make up for that I’m posting this theme for music today:
Summer Traxz!!!!111!!1! LKIE 4 RE’L~!
The Divine Comedy – The Pop Singer’s Fear of the Pollen Count
Tee-hee! That is all.
Everyone knows this effing song, but it doesn’t make it any less relevant to this post. Armand Van Helden rarely makes a good track of his own, it’s usually his remixes (or remixes of his stuff) that are good. Whatevs, it’s a great track for the beach.
Black Kids – I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You
I have never seen Black Kids so I can really only speculate on their ethnicity, or gender for that matter, but if they aren’t of African descent, then the white people really are “stealing all [their] beats from the blacks.” — Mindless Self Indulgence “Kill the Rock” — Sort of how Eminem claims to be doing what Elvis did back in the day; “Do black music so selfishly, and use it to get myself wealthy.” But “Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You”? Great song.
Rarities and B-Sides can be a great source for great songs that just for whatever reason didn’t make the cut. Kylie Minogue recently released “X” and this song is a B-Side from that. Have no idea where one can get this in album form, because a friend of mine found it. Thanks Homez!
Ben Lee – Cigarettes Will Kill You
This song title doesn’t lie, which is why I quit, but aside from that this song is just bad ass goodness. I don’t know how many people would consider Ben Lee “bad ass” but I certainly do. His Australian indie crooning has had my heart since I first heard this song on the best soundtrack known to mankind, “Playing By Heart”, which starred Angelina Jolie, Ryan Phillipe, Gillian Anderson, Jon Stewart, Sean Connery, Gena Rowlands, Anthony Edwards, Madelaine Stowe… it goes on and on, and the movie is awesome. As for this particular song, it’s nice to listen to while chilling out on your patio, or hanging out at the beach. I don’t make this stuff up; try it!
ToToM – 1234 My Violent Heart (Feist vs. Nine Inch Nails)
I heart a mash-up. Bastard Pop FTW. That is all.
If you have any suggestions for great summer-soundtrack-y songs, I’d love to hear them. Any genre is welcome, and I’ll listen to any song, provided it’s not complete crap.
Enjoy the weekend, mates!
