WELL. Today didn’t exactly go as planned. Some unexpected nonsense made the end of this work-week unusually difficult, but THAT’S over with, so I’ve let go of that. The only thing I brought with me from the office is this stupid new Ludacris track, Everybody Drunk. Around Wednesday or so, I thought I’d be super pumped when Friday finally rolled around, and I was going to crash into the weekend with this ridiculous beat blaring. As I said, things didn’t go as planned! I was sort of intending to go to a show this evening, with Shout Out Out Out Out and Longwalkshortdock. I ended up falling asleep after dinner and missing that. Oh well!
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
My cardinal banger this week is an all-too-raw remix of Peter Bjorn & John‘s Nothing to Worry About.
Peter Bjorn and John – Nothing to Worry About (Troublemaker remix feat. Adam Tensta, U-N-I & The Stick Up Kids)
PB&J, Peanutbutter & Jam? Think about it.
I picked up the new MSTRKRFT (pretty good!) and Royksopp (fire!) earlier this week, but my listening mellowed out later in the week. Probably a big contributor to my falling ASLEEP at 6:30 today.
Neko Case – People Got a Lotta Nerve
YOU CAN BRING A FRIEND
Sigur Ros – Við spilum endalaust – Live @ A Take Away Show
Fredo Viola – The Turn (A Pagan Lament) – The blog post is all in french, but it mentions A-Ha’s Take On Me, because of the similar tune. It also features a random picture of boobies, which some people might take issue with, but not me. Not me at all.
Bloc Party – Signs (Armand Van Helden Remix)
Southstylers – Wroaw – this is a typical hardstyle song with a random movie quote sampled in, but the thing that makes it remarkable is that this particular movie quote is from THE GOONIES. It features poor Chunk recounting “the worst thing I ever done”.
NOBODY IS ON MSN SO I’LL KEEP TYPING
This week, Last.fm announced their plans to begin charging $5/month to use their radio service, in order to cover their licensing expenses, whcih I’m sure are ridiculously high. Just the radio is going to cost money, the rest will remain free. A lot of international users are losing their cool and switching to competitor services like Spotify, but unfortunately Spotify isn’t available to Canadian users at ANY price. I don’t know who to throw a tomato at over this, but I’m guessing the CRTC is a good place to start hating. As usual.
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. – but a few desks are going to get flipped over and set on fire in the coming weeks/months. It’s an interesting time to be involved with music on the web.
Have a great weekend! You’ve really got nothing to worry about.
