Old classmate posted a song from OneRepublic on FB to his girlfriend and after giving it a listen and loving it I wiki-ed and youtubed them and after coming across the song below I knew I had heard them before!
All The Right Moves - OneRepublic
^The music video for this song is great! It reminds me of something Abney Park might do. Very dirty Victorian and oh so addictive!
Anyway I was trying to recall where I have heard it before and I think that is was on x96, maybe the deep x-cuts they do with new bands and songs or such. Most the time when I hear a good song/band that I do not know I try and catch the name or some of the lyrics and jot them down to look up and I think that is what I did with this one but I lost the paper before I looked it up online. I HATE when that happens and I miss out on something as cool as this band. But HA-HA I now have them! MINE!
Another band that I found through the always funny Dooce is Animal collective. She posted the song "my Girls" for the background music on her end of the year clip review.
My Girls - Animal Collective
Defiantly worth a deeper look and listen.
I might have just almost smashed the CD/band goal for '11. LOL love feeling less guilty and free going off the mainstream circuit for awesome groups and great music.
Also was toying with and idea for the short story for this year. I was thinking of revisiting the idea of the man behind the myth of King Arthur. I like the idea that "The Bear" is the main man behind the myth. I kinda want to do a exploration of the making of "The Bear". How he got the man and a bit of 'his' back story, or should I say that is what I want to make up. I was trying to think of what would you call it. It is not a true historical fiction as there is more fiction then history and there is nothing similar like mythical fiction it would just be fiction. lol yeah I'm an odd one.
The way it is forming up in my head right now is that he is sitting around a fire at night with many of the young people from his tribe and a few of his warriors after a hard day of training and hunting in the field when a youth asks him about ...oh say a scar, or how he became known as "The Bear" and start in with that being the true story. I also wanted to think that the way he became known as "The Bear" was from saving his own group of youth in training from a menacing legend of a bear while they where alone training in the wilds.
This idea kinda meshed and sprouted from the training that the Spartan youth went through out there alone as young boys/teens. I also think that the Arthur idea came from watching the movie "The Last Legion" where they took the idea that King Arthur sprang from Roman roots and a Roman Legionary. I hate that they think he had to be a non-home grown hero and myth.
So anyway the idea is there and it just needs to have time to grow from the sprouts.
Also I have been making over the walls of my space from dorm room 'chic' to something a lil more mature. I have pics but not on my computer. :/
