On Holiday…

Well I didn’t get what I previously noted in the last post. Which makes me depressed. I don’t know who reads this because really I don’t care. So if your having an eventful, good or bad, feel free to comment.

Here’s to those people who are relying on Christmas Money

After receiving two speeding tickets in one week, I find myself with no money for Christmas. Normaly I wouldn’t care but now that I am an “adult” I feel obligated to getting people things. So I had to get creative. For example, I gifted Chris SMB3 for his Wii using points that I received for Christmas the previous year. This reminds me of a Seinfeld episode on “Regifters.” But I did do something I have never done before, spend over 20 dollars on someone other than myself. I bought my dad a Wii. And no I did not spend 600 dollars on Amazon.com, I waited in line for 14 hours at my local BestBuy. But I did find something good in this situation, Bat For Lashes. I’m not going into great detail of why I like them because it’s late and I’m tiered. So here is my favorite song by them called, Prescilla.

I’m Writing A Note Here:

Well its not really a note but, music!  This is from a guy across the pond named Tom Vek.

Edit: That was a poor description. Now I’ll try to redeem myself…

This is Tom Vek’s one and only album released in 2005 called We Have Sound. The first song I posted is called C-C (You Set The Fire In Me). This song showcases what the album is like, raw garage rock, driven by subtle electronic touches and a backbone of funk. And I being a drummer may be why I like it so much. Because you can’t stop the funk. As for the second song, Nothing But Green Lights, its more electric. All in all its a good album so go buy it. Supposedly he is working on a new album but seeming how it took him three years just to make this one, I bet we wont see anything new for awhile.

I, just like Chris, don’t want to get in trouble with RIAA, so these are the full songs but I post them with the intent that if you like it you will go buy the album.

A Second Rainbow

This song is on the second part of Radiohead’s album In Rainbows. Nuff said. Not really. I was just as confused when I saw this. So I did some research and found that these are bonus tracks that come with the disc box. So this track has been ripped from vinyl. Awesome. Here’s a tracklist of CD2:
“MK 1″
“Down Is the New Up”
“Go Slowly”
“MK 2″
“Last Flowers”
“Up on the Ladder”
“Bangers and Mash”
“4 Minute Warning”
