You Haven’t Heard Warner Bros Quite Like This!
Chances are you've heard all these songs before, but you haven't heard them like this! Songs The Brothers Warner Taught Me is a rejuvenating look back at the good ol' days of the Warner Brothers cartoons with a pop that's undeniable. I got the chance to ask Megan Lynch a few questions about her album to give a bit of an insight into the whole process as well as to see what's in store for the future.
Interview after the jump!
New New Pornographer’s Video: Moves
Just came across this music video today through the various social webs and I would be lying if I said I didn't bounce with glee. The cameos in this video are ridiculous and awesome and the video feels somewhat reminiscent of "Use It," which is perhaps my favorite music video of The New Pornographers.
Enjoy!
Da Chip!
Lookie what I found...it's a kickass little website that houses a collection of Daft Punk songs composed with 8-bit sounds! It's like if the robotic French electronic duo was getting blasted out of your NES!! All the old favorites are there. Please do give these MP3's a listen; they're free after all. Oh, and they're apparently human after all as well. I'm a huge, huge, huge fan of their music, and by extension the entire house/electronic/dance movement they've started since the late 90's. Any find like this is, to me, absolute GOLD.
Don't forget, there's a section with some bonus tracks, too! Enjoy!
The Beatles Rock Band
Guess what, I'm a Beatles fan. Now I want to force my opinions of them all over you. As someone who was born waaaaaay after they disbanded, (hell, I was born after one of them was already DEAD) I'm happy that new ways of hearing/analyzing their music crop up. Some of them are super-gimmicky, like that "1" album, but I'll respect anything that brings something new to the table. Yes, that includes the "Love" mashup/compilation album. If you haven't heard it, give it a try...just skip the god-awful Cirque du Soleil show. It's a painfully drawn-out embarrassment.
Anyway, that being said, I want to establish how excited I am for the Beatles version of Rock Band that's coming in September. At first, like many I'm sure, I was convinced this was gimmicky and cheap. Didn't pay it much mind, especially since the music I love most from their catalogue wouldn't exactly be fun to play along to on a guitar. "Hey Jude", anyone? Then, out of the blue, they premiered the opening cinematic for the game:
My GOD, it's transcendent!! It hits all the right notes (pun intended?) and has lots of little Beatles references peppered throughout. It's clear the makers of this game have done a liiiiiitle bit of homework. I've watched this almost a dozen times and it still gets me all worked up. They way they quickly track through the phases of their career is phenomenal!!! I ask you: Watch this a few times so you can really get the full effect.
One question...why can't the whole game look like this?
