chance and sow, nothing changing

Delphic - Doubt
Remember Delphic? Yes, and they are back. More epic, more intense, more futuristic. As the lyrics come spilling out, an intense gaze burns into your soul, as if etching the lyrics into you. Bullets, bubbles, crystalline shapes and whatnot, slithering over taut beautiful bodies, the various "metallic lifeforms" vibrating to the wicked beat. One is almost reminded of Michael Jackson's metallic glove as the bullet like objects cover one woman's hand. This is definitely gonna be an uber dance floor anthem, taking us humans by storm. The monotone and expressionless faces adds to the allure, and everything culminates in the explosion of these things flying off the bodies.

Missing the life gone by that I have lost/I'm missing the better times that I had lost

The Antlers - Kettering
A brilliant song about a guy who's hired to look after this patient in a hospital, it is littered with vivid descriptions - which evokes desolation right to the very bone. The video is just a collation of photos. But that's where I'm wrong. It is not JUST a collation of photos, but a very elegant and masterful one. A lot of thought must have been put into choosing the photos (the person who uploaded the video is not the person who took the photos). That said, most of the credit must be given to the photographer for the beautiful photos. The song and video doesn't just tug at your heart strings, it resonates deep within your soul, making you wonder how and what could have sparked such loneliness, devoid of hope as the songs tails off with "and i didn't believe them when they told me that there was no saving you."

Sia - You've Changed

Grizzly Bear - Cheerleader
Damn it, I always have this problem, the last few songs don't get any write up at all cos i always get lazy. It's definitely not because the song isn't good or what, i'm just LAZY. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

and the beauty of the word is that you don't have to show it

watched Moon yesterday. It stars Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell (the protagonist(s)), if you watched it already) and Kevin Spacey voicing GERTY, an autonomous robot aiding Sam in the day to day running of the lunar station. I probably won't do justice to the film by trying to describe it, but it was poignant and reflective. One wonders at the end of the film, if in the future, would companies actually resort to such methods all in the name of profits and capitalism. What I loved most was the direction of the movie by Duncan Jones, and the accompanying piano scores totally complemented the movie at it's various peaks. It did well to evoke the desolation Sam probably felt, and his devastation on realising the truth upon speaking with his daughter (who did not recognise him). Catch it if you haven't, and you won't regret it.

Dragonette - Pick Up The Phone
dragonette - they never seem to have a lack of breezy flippant videos.

Belle & Sebastian - We Rule The School
Their brand of slow and wistful music is totally dope. They're a SEVEN member band, prolly the only band who has more than them (in numbers) is Broken Social Scene i think. They consist of Stuart Murdoch, Stevie Jackson, Chris Geddes, Richard Colburn, Sarah Martin, Mick Cooke and Bobby Kildea.

Sia - Academia

The Sound of Arrows - Into The Clouds
oh.my.god. this is really aural ecstacy. you really can count on them swedish people to produce top notch music.
