Sorry y'all...I've been neglecting this blog thing over the past couple of weeks...not for lack of wanting to post, but rather due to the time constraints imposed by life and its day to day happenings....alright...here's a monster post...my little way of saying i'm sorry...i say those words with a tinge of sarcasm, seeing as i know how insignificant my blog contribution really is to the daily lives of all who are reading this...in any event, for those who occasionally find something on these pages that is to their liking, i hope there's more of the same in today's post...
The National - Lit Up (remix) - I love this band...defnitely one of my favourite finds over the last two years...their new album drops in May and I am super stoked...their musicianship is excellent, but the lyrics are even better...be sure to pick up their 2005 disc titled Alligator...you will not be disappointed...this track is very Arcade Fire-like, although much of their catalogue ain't this rocking...
Arctic Monkeys - Brainstorm (yes...the monkey's are back and they sound slightly different than the last time we heard them, if this track is anything to go by...i dig it...a little more mature musically than their debut, although the lyrics still leave something to be desired...the drumming on this track is relentless)
Here is one of the goals of the week....
But this one takes the cake for me...this boy is absolutely ridiculous...best player on the planet for my money right now...look at the swerve on this beauty...the trick...hit the ball right on the needle with your laces as you cut across the ball...awesome...
And check out this effort from Mr. Ronaldo during a pre-game warmup session...brilliant stuff...knocked the nutella right out of the top corner...
Maximo Park - Our Velocity (a ripping new track from these British lads...a little like old school Blur, but more frenetic)
The View - Same Jeans (very much in the Libertines vein...i like...is nice...)
Brandtson - Earthquakes and Sharks (there's something to be said for music that just makes you feel good...music that may not be the most technical or groundbreaking, but a tune that just wiggles its way into the recesses of your brain and stays there for weeks...this is one such track...makes me think of being a kid all over again...i can see myself having liked this song when i was 8...heck, i like it now...)
