This was writen on May 20th, but I missed the “publish” button, so it was never posted. Oops!
Last night, I spent the night drinking rum & cokes and watched Shrek 2. It’s such an exciting life.
However, I have been updating my movie to watch list. I have almost 40 movies on it now, including two or three I’ve seen now.
I listened to both Linkin Park’s and My Chemical Romance’s new albums. Can someone please tell me who thought being “political” and making “epic rock” albums was a good idea for pop bands? I haven’t killed anyone lately, and they deserve it.
I may get into details later, but Sonic Rush and Super Paper Mario are both quite good. In fact, I may end up adding SPM to my work’s library of Wii games.
Thanks to Lasse Gjersen’sAmature video, there have been several clones of varying quality. One that workd out really well is one called Soup Injection.
I ended up checking out Soup’s myspace page, (because the other website doesn’t work) and found that I quite enjoy a few of their sounds, even with the simple and melodic nature of their work. There’s something catchy, yet calming about their hooks, and it works well.
If the You Tube video was of any interest, I would recommend checking out the original Ambulance for Human and My Justine on Soup’s myspace page.
Rockabye Baby! is the product of a truly twisted mind. It “transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies, sending your little one to a slumberland of sweet dreams”, as the website says. Now, that seems like a nice concept … until you look at some of artists which they choose to “transform”:
Björk
Metallica
Nine Inch Nails
Pink Floyd
Radiohead
The Ramones
Tool
So far, I’ve managed to get the Pink Floyd album, but I still want to listen to a few others. It’s something I have to hear, I just can’t imagine it. Still, the idea of little infants sleeping to the “soothing” sound of NIN or Tool makes me wonder about the present and the future of that poor child.
Lasse Gjertsen is a Norgwegian film student studying in some english speaking country. He’s also pretty popular on YouTube, and I think I agree with the common people on this one.
These videos are what I think are his best, and are pretty damn cool.
Lasse vs Teknologi II
Lasse’s translation: I’m basiaclly saying :”Oooh, finally done with the project.. SHit, I have to save! What the fuck? What the FUCK?! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!” And then a heap of beautyful norwegian cusswords. Then: “Noooo.. All of my porno! Dammit..”
