Beck – Volcano

Beck - Modern Guilt

I’ve been walking on these streets so long
I don’t know where they’re going to lead anymore
But I think I must have seen a ghost
I don’t know if it’s my illusions that keep me alive

I don’t know what I’ve seen
Was it all an illusion?
All a mirage gone bad?
I’m tired of evil
And all that it feeds
But I don’t know

I’ve been drifting on this wave so long
I don’t know if it’s already crashed on the shore
And I’ve been riding on this train so long
I can’t tell if it’s you or me who’s driving us into the ground

I don’t know if I’m sane
But there’s a ghost in my heart
Who’s trying to see in the dark
I’m tired of people who only want to be pleased
But I still want to please you

And I heard of that Japanese girl
Who jumped into the volcano
Was she trying to make it back?
Back into the womb of the world?

I’ve been drinking all these tears so long
All I’ve got left is the taste of salt in my mouth

I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I’m going
To that volcano
I don’t want to fall in though
Just want to warm my bones
On that fire a while

Wow… He really brings out the beauty in that song… (or as some j00t00b comment put it: Wow! I didn’t know that drunk guy from The Hangover could sing! Hehehe).

DJ Hero is Surprisingly Good Fun! =D

r3dux | August 14, 2010

Like cheese Guitar Hero? Like peas Mash-Ups? Then you’ll love new Cheesy-Peas rhythm-action game DJ Hero! (in original and new strawberry flavour)…

No, honestly… I couldn’t have cared less about DJ Hero – because if I wanted to be a DJ and get money for playing other peoples records and talking shite then I’d be doing it already. But the wife had a keen eye and snapped it up for $49AUD (including the turntable peripheral) and hot DAMN! It’s actually really fun! =D

YouTube Preview Image

There’s something like 93 tracks that come with it by default, with the option to download track-packs and such, so plenty of diff music to mess with. You can play along with the deck and a guitar with some of the tracks to bulk up the at-home party angle (as it’s unlikely anyone’s going to have two deck peripherals), and it’s really rather good. I’m not sure what else to say without feeling like they’ve paid me money or something – I’m just shocked that it’s equally as good as any guitar hero or rock band game, I guess.

Also, it has DJ Shadow tracks in it (example). And he’s awesome =D

BT – The Rose of Jericho

r3dux | August 6, 2010

“The Rose of Jericho” is an instrumental single by experimental trance musician BT, his first from his sixth studio album, These Hopeful Machines.

YouTube Preview Image

I love these kinds of abstract graphics video, reminds me of demo-scene stuff… Very purty, but the change of brightness in the images kinda makes me feel like I’m blinking even when I’m not, or makes me want to blink…

Still, super-nice track, and best listened to on decent headphones for full technical-editing goodness =D

Arcade Fire – Ready to Start

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I’ll just begin again
You say, “can we still be friends?”

If I was scared… I would
And if I was bored… you know I would
And if I was yours… but I’m not

All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But they bow to down to him anyway
It’s better than being alone

If I was scared… I would
And if I was bored… you know I would
And if I was yours… but I’m not

Now you’re knocking at my door
Saying please come out with us tonight
But I would rather be alone
Than pretend I feel alright

Love it.. The new Arcade Fire album The Suburbs is released on August the 3rd 2010 – w00t! There’s a special place in my heart for Arcade Fire (and a special hole in my wallet where I bought scalped tickets to see them in Cardiff two years back) =D

Great band – great songs – win/win.
