the monks - i can't get over you

Ok, so at 3:30 am on a Saturday night on the local NBC station they play a program called Fearless Music which shows the live performances by bands, both local and international. I TiVo it cause I need to sleep. Anyway. on the last episode they had a performance by a group from Sweden called The Ark. I thought the song was catchy. I just purchased their album State Of The Ark off of iTunes, and I am listening to it right now and OH MY GOD! i have a brand new favorite band. They are so F'ing good. think The Darkness meets Scissor Sisters, or a newly realized Queen. This will be on repeat for a while. edit: edit my edit: ok, its really really gay. but the song is awesome.

The Hill Have Eyes a lot better than I thought it would be. I shouldn't have watched it before i went to bed though. *eep*

i just realized how much of my day is used doing these things. i can't really eat a meal without having my stomach get upset and i told a co-worker, "you know, if i didn't have to eat, i wouldn't do it" realizing after i said it how stupid what i said was. so my question to you is, which of the things we all have to do, because our bodies demand it, that you could really do without?

The (international) noise conspiracy - A Northwest Passage

they really are. they put on an absolutely incredible live show too they have toured China and played at illegal Rock clubs before.

The Punisher is pretty awesome too.

International Noise Conspiracy - Beautiful So Alone Always acted with suspicion, I've got a bad taste in my mouth And we all hate to feel rejected but some things we never talk about Like new borders and new checkpoints and this constant need To define and shut out "the others" from you and me Cold sweat running down the neck at airport check-ins Cause freedom ends and it dies where unions and walls begin Scribbling cheap shots of small notes I wouldn't call it poetry Cause you're alive and you are illegal when you just wanted to be free You got heart you are full of soul So beautiful so alone Comes autumn you look for rescue and some good news to comfort So you start hoping but try to make up some reasons not to Like new treatise of free movement for the chosen few And in this world of new economy there is just no room for you You got heart you are full of soul So beautiful so alone No one's illegal No more nation states No more borders I just can't wait step one: translate step two: burn translated versions to 5,000 cd-r's step three: build massive sling shot step four: set up sling shot on border step five: we're going to need some cd players...

last I heard about North Korea, they were developing nuclear weapons, and they should have nuked most of East Asia and the West Coast of North America by now. but then Don Imus used the term, "Nappy Headed Ho" and that was all the news talked about. so what's up with North Korea? can anyone fill me/us in? also, I've heard that all things of Western origin is banned from North Korea. This includes music. so what album would you sneak into North Korea just for those poor people to listen to? what album would trigger the best government revolt? okay, that's it.

SLC Punk haven't watched it in years. that movie really defined who I (thought) I was in high school. i forgot just how good it is.

bands that feel the need to have 12 members on the stage at once.

Len - King Of The Block

Veruca Salt - Seether

i have the same thing with It's All Gone Pete Tong i get people saying, "this is so....depressing" half way through, but i tell them, "just wait til the end" its a very satisfying ending

'fighting on the internet in comparison to the special olympics'

Party Ben - Confused Tobacco Bump

Oasis - Champagne Supernova *live*

okay, this is Len - People Come Together and you are probably stopping yourself, saying, "Len??? Steal My Sunshine Len???" but give this a chance. very good lyrics, fantastic sampling, and an all together good "party song" I played it at a Sorority Dance I MC'd once, the ladies liked it. I played it at a charity thing where people formed a red cross with glow-sticks (it was for Hurricane Katrina....it was college, you know, where people think they can make a difference), people liked it. so give it a shot.

here's one that has them dancing (in my experience) Overseer - Basstrap

sorry ;) need more of a "rock-vibe?"

well Meg, if you liked that, give this a try Ferry Corsten - Rock Your Body Rock (Rennie Pilgrem's Hum Remix)

i wasn't going to post this, but i went to all the trouble of uploading it CSS - Alala (Bonde Do Role remix) is it what you're looking for? i don't know, but i think its pretty sweet.
