AMVI

I've posted about this on my blog; it would be interesting (for me, at least!) to see the scores of the Dylan's Teeth faithful - even if you don't play an instrument, I wonder if a keen appreciation of music affects visual perception as well...

Associative Musical Visual Intelligence

Over to you...??

Deep Joy (Division)

I've not stumbled across this before but I really do like a good cover version:



I think there are albums out and that. Very good indeed.

Happiness is a monkey in a wig

I love Rex The Dog. He does amazing remixes of lovely songs. And sometimes he does videos to go with them. Look!



If that didn't make you smile then nothing ever will.

Dream On Pro

This made me chuckle, perhaps might ring a bell with those of you who have struggled with Reason, Cubase, ProTools, etc and so on:

Festival theme...again

Didn't have a clue on the lyrics, artist, mix of previous entry but agree its "all gone quiet over there", so here we go.
Now I happened to catch some of the Radio 1 Maidstone weekend festival the other day. What really surprised me was how few naff bands were on it. Isn't this type of event supposed to be about boy bands and girl bandsand pop artistes that my kids like - well obviously not my kids as they have been schooled properly in music heritage. Maybe I am REALLY out of touch but surely bands like Raconteurs, Editors, Wombats are not mainstream?
Didn't see any crowd-surfing or signs of the "rougher clientele" chucking wee filled bottles at the Fratellis...and they plus all the others are playing Reading this year...
So does this mean that I have to get into obscure furry animal remixes of underground dance music......hmm
Still at least Be Your Own Pet are playing Reading.....

Sheets in the bedroom?

Seeing as you have all clearly been out enjoying the Great British Summer, I have a quest for you to drag you back to your laptops....

NAME THAT TUNE WHAT I DONE GONE AND HEARD ON THE RADIO PLEASE

Clues:

Female singer
Some sort of 4/4 house remix
Electropop band (I think)


Selection of lyrics as badly overheard by me:

"Girlfriend, with hypertension"
"Juice a secret?"
"It's risky, boozy ass"
"Try to keep it in positions"
"Sheets in the bedroom?"

Anyone? Please put me out of my misery in the comments...?
