Wired (disc 2: mixed by Hyper)]]> Album of the week: Nero - Welcome Reality http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/09/06/4m2ygo_album_of_the_week%3A_nero_-_welcome_reality Tue, 6 Sep 2011 13:31:20 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/09/06/4m2ygo_album_of_the_week%3A_nero_-_welcome_reality Nero - Welcome Reality]]> Franz Schubert For The Win http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/05/17/4e2ded_franz_schubert_for_the_win Tue, 17 May 2011 22:46:52 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/05/17/4e2ded_franz_schubert_for_the_win I just realized I passed the cap of 90,000 songs scrobbled - another milestone!

My 90,000th song is certainly more serene than the previous milestone I posted, it's the beautiful Ellens Gesang III, D 839: "Ave Maria, Jungfrau mild" by Franz Schubert (also known as Schubert's Ave Maria) in a 1995 performance by soprano Barbara Bonney & Geoffrey Parsons on piano.

I'll have it on repeat for a while.]]> Hooked from the first listen: WaxDolls - Spoiled Rich Bitches - Beat Torrent Remix http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/04/20/4c8x6d_hooked_from_the_first_listen%3A_waxdolls_-_spoiled_rich_bitches_-_beat_torrent_remix Wed, 20 Apr 2011 17:15:55 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/04/20/4c8x6d_hooked_from_the_first_listen%3A_waxdolls_-_spoiled_rich_bitches_-_beat_torrent_remix Stumbled on this band through random spotify browsing today. Nice electro punk from Belgium, remixed by the French Beat Torrent bros.

This is a snapshot of the list so far... Feel free to suggest more music. Enjoy!


(Note that many songs are lacking due to Spotify's catalog and geographical restrictions.)]]> Track of the Day: Das Pop - The Game http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/03/16/49zwbp_track_of_the_day%3A_das_pop_-_the_game Wed, 16 Mar 2011 20:13:21 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/03/16/49zwbp_track_of_the_day%3A_das_pop_-_the_game Das Pop is only getting better over time (I started counting more or less since their '98 track A Different Beat). For their latest they went pretty 70's poppish, and the result can easily punch you in the face. I wonder if the remixes will be capable of doing this.

Das Pop - The Game

Listen to it on Soundcloud: Das Pop - The Game... hopefully they release it on Spotify soon.

]]> Album of the week: Hooverphonic - The President Of The LSD Golf Club http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/03/04/494kti_album_of_the_week%3A_hooverphonic_-_the_president_of_the_lsd_golf_club Fri, 4 Mar 2011 08:51:03 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/03/04/494kti_album_of_the_week%3A_hooverphonic_-_the_president_of_the_lsd_golf_club Hooverphonic - The President Of The LSD Golf Club

I heard Hooverphonic's golf club album for the first time yesterday, in a large warehouse with a tremendous amount of natural reverb. I don't think that that much psychedelism improves spending, but I'll award it album of the week anyway.

Shazam failed to recognize it, but I was able to find it by practicing a little bit of exclusion.]]> Album of the week: Plump DJs - Headthrash http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/02/28/48v04h_album_of_the_week%3A_plump_djs_-_headthrash Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:19:07 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/02/28/48v04h_album_of_the_week%3A_plump_djs_-_headthrash The Plumps managed to go all poppy on this album. I'm awarding it my album of the week recognition for its catchiness.

Here goes one of the more housy tracks on the album:
]]> Similarity of the Day: Avanti Main Title and Angry Birds http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/01/12/45ldhv_similarity_of_the_day%3A_avanti_main_title_and_angry_birds Wed, 12 Jan 2011 21:26:29 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/syturvy/journal/2011/01/12/45ldhv_similarity_of_the_day%3A_avanti_main_title_and_angry_birds While watching Avanti I couldn't help to notice the similarity between the Main Title track of this movie and the Angry Birds Song.

But it is probably the other way around.
