Tofu and Chocolate. (Go THRASHERS. Kovy you rule.)

This post brought you to by a 22 oz. Corona earlier today and..... about 5 Molson Ice!!!! But i'm watching hockey, so that's justifiable, right? We're going to go with "Yes" for $500, Alex. Thanks.

Speaking of hockey, my beloved Thrashers are winning 4 to 1 at the end of the 2nd period. FUCK YES. WE NEED THIS WIN.

On to music.

Okay, so Boys Noize. Oi Oi Oi. Shitty name for an album, but you know what? It's fucking legendary. Cheesy dance music at it's finest. "Let's Buy Happiness", "Oh!", "Lava Lava", just jam after jam. DAMN, this album rules. I can't wait to move to Europe.

On a polar opposite note, i'm going to go through the entire Bob Dylan discography, chronologically. It will be awesome, it will be scary, it will even be difficult at times, but i'm up to the task. I haven't ventured much past 1968 Dylan before, and i'm excited.

But yeah, Boys Noize. Seriously, delicious.

ALSO, i got the new Wu-Tang today. It's is pretty awesome as well. I'm going to have to recommend everyone go purchase it. It's delicious, but in a healthier way. 8 Diagrams is like a really delicious veggie tofu sandwich, and Boys Noize is more like a LOT of chocolate, which is also delicious, but maybe not as good for you.

UPDATE: ILYA KOVALCHUK'S MOM IS IN THE STANDS!!!! CRAZY!!!!

Cheesy dance music THAT'S REALLY GOOD.

3 posts in one night. I'M ON FIRE.

This is Boys Noize. Daryl told me about them. Not best video in the world, but whatever.




Another amazing Boys Noize track. Not a video, but at least you get to hear it!



Stylophonic - Dancefloor. Used in a Dolce & Gabbana ad. FREAKING GREAT TRACK.

Portishead videos!!!!!!!

Okay, so what we got here are a couple Portishead videos. One of which (this first one) is "Only You" directed by Chris Cunningham who i mentioned just moment ago. The second is "All Mine" which is one of my favorite Portishead songs. ENJOY THIS.

Drukqs (a.k.a. One of the Greatest Albums EVER)

This post is brought to you by about 3 Amber Bocks that Daryl bought me for watching Judah, and an "adult size" Bud Ice. By the way, today was my last day of class for college for the rest of my life. Just thought i'd let you know....

Tonight's topic of discussion is Aphex Twin's Drukqs, which is in the top 4 greatest albums of all time. Okay, maybe 5. I'm going to listen to the entire album now and tell you thoughts on each track. P.S. - a lot of the track titles are in Cornish. Which is why they seem nonsensical. They mean things, it's just Cornish. DON'T STRESS. Also, i might tend to do this in a style that's influenced by doing a lot of coffee tastings. Just roll with it. (P.S. - When i say prepared piano i mean this. I'm to lazy to explain what i'm talking about.)


Disc One
1. Jynweythek - Prepared piano. Beautiful. Delicious.
2. Vordhosbn - Also delicious, but glitchy. Kind of sad, makes me want to cry a little.
3. Kladfvgbung Micshk - More prepared piano, not as beautiful as "Jynweythek" but still delicious.
4. Omgyjya-Switch7 - Maybe the best track on the album? I want more that almost anything in the world to have been able to write this track. It makes me want to cry also, but not because it's sad, but because it's so good.
5. Strotha Tynhe - Regular piano. Reminds me of my mom. I love her.
6. Gwety Mernans - Brooding. Piano. Awesome low end.
7. Bbydhyonchord - I'm bobbing my head, right now. It's that good. One of the few arguably "normal" tracks on this album.
8. Cock/Ver 10 - Similar feeling to "Omgyjya-Switch7". Makes me want to cry is so good. Glitchy. DELICIOUS.
9. Avril 14th - Beautiful piano. Makes me think of my mom. I love her. (P.S. - I took piano from the age of 7 to 18, and my mom was my teacher, hence the mom comments).
10. Mt Saint Michael + Saint Michaels Mount - Chris Cunningham did a video using this track called "Monkey Drummer" in which he used the arms and leg(s) of the drummer from the Sugarcubes. Little known fact. I JUST BLEW YOUR MIND. (P.S. - the monkey in this video uses his penis that's a drum stick to play part of the track.) WHY DO SUCH AMAZING THINGS LIKE THIS EXIST!?) Second best track on this record, i think...
11. Qwarek - Spooky. People that sound like ghosts are talking/screaming. I love it.
12. Orban Eq Trx 4 - Great beat. I'm bobbing my head. Short track. Delicious.
13. Aussois - More people talking. 13 second track. WHATEVS.
14. Hy A Scullyas - More prepared piano. BEAUTIFUL.
15. Kesson Daley - Regular piano... Mom, i love you!

Disc Two
1. 54 Cymru Beats - Really kind of an abrasive track, but DELICIOUS. 3rd greatest track on this record? Probably.
2. Btoum-Roumada - I'm tripping out! Church organ? Maybe kind of? But with bells or something? Richard James is GENIUS.
3. Lornaderek - Awww!!!! Richard's parents wishing him a happy birthday on his 28th. SWEETEST THING EVER!!!! CORNISH OLD PEOPLE ARE SO CUTE!!!!!!
4. Penty Harmonium - Sounds like an accordian? Maybe organ again. I'm drunk, i don't know....
5. Meltphace 6 - Okay so basically this AFX. At least to me. I don't know if that means anything to anyone else....
6. Bit4 - 25 second weird noisy track. Delicious.
7. Prep Gwarlek - Prepared piano. Abrasive. I love it.
8. Father - Piano. Very un-mom though. Just for the record.
9. Taking Control - Second normally titled track on the album. Glitchy. Over 7 minutes. Delicious.
10. Petiatil Cx Htdui - Piano? Prepared piano? No, normal piano. Haunting. Beautiful.
11. Ruglen Holon - Okay, NOW we got some prepared piano.
12. Afx237 V7 - AFX is in the title of this track!!! What does that mean? Wait.... i think this is track Chris Cunningham used for Rubber Johnny......
13. Ziggomatic V17 - Glitchy. Delicious. Damn... over 8 minutes. Intense.
14. Beskhu3epnm - Prepared piano. Brilliant. I love it.
15. Nanou2 - "Avril 14th" all over again, but just as awesome.

Bottom line. This album is one of the most important albums of all time. Not even joking. Even though i'm drunk.

THOUGHTS.

Posting!

Brought to you by.... some white wine, some Sam Adams light, and a bunch of other shit.

David Bowie's song "Changes" one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Know this.

NO MATTER WHAT YOUR FRIENDS SAY, the Field has one the greatest albums of this year. From Here We Go Sublime. BUY IT.

So what if José Gonzalez covered "Teardrop", "Love Will Tear Us Apart", and "Heartbeats"? THE ORIGINALS ARE BETTER. But it's still admirable that he has good taste. I respect that. Keep up the good work. And you're from Scandinavia, Josè. God bless you.

So Skream is supposed to be one the top names in the London dubstep scene. His album Skream! is OKAY. Burial makes every other dubstep album look like a freshmen's in high school's paper compared to a Ph. D. doctoral candidate's thesis. SORRY SCREAM. BURIAL JUST KIND OF OWNS YOU'RE FUCKING FACE.

What else? I'm going through my iTunes on shuffle, and writing thoughts down....

Lemon Jelly's "'93 aka Don't Stop Now"....legendary track.

Neko Case? Awesome.

Kylie Minogue? Awesome. Don't judge me.

I have two Honey Is Cool album. I'm cooler than you.

I'm also going to bed now. Very tired.
