Dreams 4:41 PM

I've started to read my brother's tumblr lately, and he last blogged about dreams. Weird how both of us are having weird dreams...because I have also. You know how there's that period of time when you don't have any dreams so you want to dream but you don't dream... yeah. But now I'm having dreams back and forth, its crazy. Like every night. However, mine are a bit different from my brothers' because mine are like NIGHTMARES. Scary shit thats happening in my dreams. I wake up scared as shit because I think this stuff is real. I'll share one right now...

I was in my house just chillin with my friend Matt.... we were eating Ritz bitz crackers or something but we were just sittin around doing nothing. Then all of a sudden the doorbell rang and I got up and opened it. I think I was expecting the gaming mice that Alex and I ordered, but no. It was the manager of this store that I applied to for a job. He was HUGE and he just walked in and started invading my fridge. When I came back around to see what the hell his problem was, he pulled a huge knife on me. For some reason Matt had a knife also, and then they were just holding it up in the air like they were about to stab each other but they haven't yet. I saw my pocket knife carabiner on the countertop but it was across the other side (closest to the big huge guy) so I couldn't get it. Then all of a sudden the guy tried to slash Matt and we both did this weird ass karate move from UFC and he was on the ground. I looked at my hands and they were all bleeding for some reason. I grabbed my pocket knife carabiner and started stabbing him all over the place... but he wouldn't die. No matter where i shanked him, he kept coming back to life. So with all my might I hit his head with my fist and then he finally sat there. He was still conscious, but he wasn't doing anything, so I presumed he was dead. Then we proceded to all pray the rosary... wtf?!?! I woke up after that.

For all you reading this, don't think that this really means anything serious... Like my bro said, I don't think this applies to my life at all, except for the real life references (the manager guy, the gaming mice..) But its still scary nonetheless. I don't have a song to post right now, but I'll look through my iTunes and see if I can find something spooky.

Esperanza Spalding - I Know You Know 4:44 PM

Esperanza Spalding - I Know You Know

I was chillin with the band when Esperanza Spalding came on. I immediately got hooked on the bass lines and the jazzy vocals. Her stuff really shows the importance of the bass line and the influence it puts forth. Much respect to all bassists! This girl is only 24 and she attended Berklee College of Music... and now she teaches there being one of the yougest professors in the school history. Talk about prodigy. If you like this I highly suggest grabbing her 2 albums, Junjo and Esperanza.

Speaking of prodigies, check this 18 yr old Japanese guy out. Beatboxing has come a long way. His scratching is crazy! "I want to be the beat-ti-ta-box batwel wiyood card!"

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

In honor of my last day of classes tomorrow, I share this song. "Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time!"

Starfucker again? Sorry. But the music is too good to resist! Again, an interesting album cover... I wonder who designed it. This one is a little less popish than the other two.... a bit more mellow (mellows!). Give it a listen! Oh, and for all you 21+ people...they will be playing at Bottom of the Hill on June 23rd. In other news,


It's time to hang them up...
Goodbye high school track!

Poppy and catchy dance/electronic music. Starfucker. How the heck did these guys come up with that name? And tell me why the album art looks very similar to the Faunts album? Maybe I have a thing for multi-colored album art... Anyway, two songs for you to download today, both are catchy and I recommend giving a listen to both. Here's a description of them from IODA that is way to long to post.

In other news, 1 Week of AP's then I'm pretty much done with school. Then prom. Then party. Maybe while listening to starfucker in the car. Then summer...finally! Oh, and Happy Mother's Day today to all the Moms,grandmothers,godmothers, soon to be mothers, etc.

Faunts - Feel.Love.Thinking.Of 9:02 PM

Feel.Love.Thinking.Of. (mp3)

from welikeit.indie, "At once symphonic and sprawling; ambient, yet driving, Feel.Love.Thinking.Of. is the culmination of a year of touring, recording, and meticulous exploration of the band’s transcendent imagination. With its effervescent guitars, mathematic loops and synthesizers, surging drums, and seemingly nomadic bass lines, this album is a beautiful expression of Faunts’ painstaking attention to instrumentation and arrangement. I think it’s the best album yet from these supremely talented Canadians & I’m not the only one, the band itself stated: “It is definitely our most concise and best work to date“. "

and yes, it is very good. The album came out February 17th, so if you like what you hear go pick it up. (or, just ask me!)

The video is cool also. Probably because I actually know about all these color tests through psych class. And the girl is cute.

Jamie Cullum - I Want To Be A Popstar 11:20 PM

Known for being a remarkable jazz artist at only 25 years old, Jamie Cullum has collaborated with many artists, including hip-hop artists Handsome Boy Modeling School and Pharrel. He's definitely got some catchy vocals and great runs. Can't explain it any better than this quote: "Cullum's mellifluous tone, clarity of diction, fluid relationship with the pulse and proclivity for taking chances - coupled with his exciting pianism - clearly mark him out as a young artist with immense potential." - Jazzwise, UK

After listening to the smooth jazz, another video...
