Awesomest Videos: Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy

BoC make damn brilliant ambient music that is just a treat to listen to and this video.
Just be seated comfortably, lay back, buffer it fully and then put it on full screen mode and enjoy !

Awesomest Videos: Kenna - Hell bent

A song that very few people I think have ever heard, set to the award winning animation of Mark Osborne's "More". This is something!

So as always, what do you think they are trying to say ?

Kenna- Hell Bent music video


ENJOY!

Awesomest Videos: Rob D. - Clubbed to death

Another week, and another awesomest video. What do you think this one is about ?




ENJOY !

music arabika

Being abfab fan of all that is arabic music i thought i would share the epitome of this generation of artists and their epic works.

First up is an "underrated" artist that manages to stretch the scope of art from the roof to the bathroom floor passing through the bedroom with thought provoking work such as "don't give me your back". A piece of "art" that is so controversial that it didn't make it into the airways.
متدنيش ظهرك - بوسي سمير


For our friends with "peculiar" fetishism we even have an artist that caters to their every whim, an artist for such a niche crowd should be indicative of how progressive the arabic culture became. For in the video Ana hatlob edak we have najla catering to naturalist and bestiality fans all over the arab world, the amount of people that wish they were mules is astounding.
Najlaa - Ana hatlob edak


While to not leave the S&M and leather fans feel left out she brilliantly mixes a mechanic girl fantasy with some dominatrix demeanor that really irks the mind and soul
Najlaa - Ba7


could this be an innocent mistake ? or a sinister play on words ? well if the singers extreme flexibility and downright originality is anything to go by with i would certainly go with the later. Plus this is the most skin shown in the arab world since we had the dead sea nude beach, truly impressive what you can get away with these days.
Maria - Ba7eb El Mass



I wanted marwa - don't do this" to give a sense of the international penetration those great artists are achieving but I thought the post is already long enough


ps. I'm so not gonna do this ever again so no need to tell me that :P

Awesomest Music videos: Unkle - eye for an eye

To atone for my sins am going to start this up in an attempt to create some discussions.
Every once in a while I come across some amazing music videos that tend to give character and depth to the lyrics that really take it to the next level. So every so often am gonna post one of those music videos and see what you guys/girls think they are trying to say with the videos.

So first up is a song by Unkle called "an eye for an eye" can you think they were trying to say with the video ?



ENJOY!

Zero 7 - You're my flame

hehe remember Sia ? well this is from the band that she usually collaborates with. I think the video is also pretty interesting.
ENJOY!
ps. I'll add a link to the mp3 tom

White town - your women

One of the first ever, a decade ago, concept songs that I ever heard, and it was GOOD ! The video is brilliant. ok ok simply j'adore



ENJOY!

ps. leave a comment and an email for the mp3 of any song I post :D

Songs of Sia

I wish I can see who checks this blog out cause it seems like the contributors are the only ones that check it, either way the music is out there and it's good music with a heaps of variety.

Either way first time I heard Sia singing she just mesmerized me with her vocals on the track for zero 7 called destiny that was used for a commercial that slips my mind now. I used to wait for that commercial to run so i can listen to the song since I had no idea what the song was.

Anyways forward ahead in time and Sia still sends my mind into a state of bliss when i listen to her songs

Sia - Breathe me
If you are a fan of six feet under this song is certain to stir up your emotions. and if you aren't a fan that song will hopefully have the same effect on you, plus the video is pretty amazing !



Sia - Blow it all away



ENJOY!

Where is my mind ?

This is usually my anthem for when the world becomes a bit too much to handle ! so evedintly i have been listening to it quite a bit during the past month...

with the lines :

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind

how can you not love this song !




Enjoy !

Madonna - Secret

Now of the top of your head there is no one that can't atleast name 3 songs for Madonna (describing the video qualifies as a song name too :P).

For my by far I prefer the mystic and darker version of her of the early nighties. By far this song is my favorite for her .



Secret Lyrics


Also help us welcome Asoom who joined this blog and we hope to hear from her play list soon.
Just in, Dave is going to be joining us too.

So welcome to both Dave and Asoom and we hope that you will make us look like utter slackers here and keep this blog alive :)
Best of Wishes & Enjoy!

ps. this is just to make up for the niche song post before although i think i didn't like MIA at first but she grew on me, plus we didn't have a single Madonna song here :)

M.I.A. - Jimmy .... Adja

I just love M.I.A., beside the point that i get a kick out of me loving a bollywood sounding song but in general what i like about her is that she brings a fresh new breeze to rap. Plus it helps that her lyrics carry a strong political message so
ENJOY ! adja...



Jimmy Lyrics




Come Around Lyrics

incase you are wondering she is from Sri lanka :P

Common - Drivin' Me Wild

Music with something to say, been a while since i posted my lists but just came across this lovely song so felt like sharing it here :)





Lily Allen's voice is mesmerizing
ENJOY!

Arabisque - The non bubble-gum over-produced variety

I feel like the most unapt person to do this, and even more so since I usually only do the playlist here.
The thing is that this blog seems to be lacking arabic songs, and I always get "some" because I find arabic songs mostly boring.

So here are some songs that I like...


Natasha Atlas - Gafsa




Macadi Nahas - "various" (she has a very soothing voice)



Fairouz - 3atinee 2al naya

ENJOY!
ps. You won't see more arabic songs from me for a long long long long long .... et cetera ... long time
