Music of 2011

2011 hasn't been that bad a year for music, here are the stand out tracks...

I make mention of Selena Gomez, Justin bieber, Lady Gaga and Rhianna on a later date...

--------

Calvin Harris ft Kelis - Bounce


The epitome of a Good Night out, this was a great dance floor song.

--------

Gotye - Somebody that I use to know


Raw, Powerful and Emotional, Gotye's music stills evolves yet remains hauntingly beautiful through each of its evolutions. His latest album won every damn award in Australia for good reason. It's a Masterpiece.

--------

Architecture In Helsinki - Contact High


Quite simply one of the most infectious choruses I've ever heard. This song will dig into you Soul and skip around in your head for days.

--------

LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem


I swear this song just took over at one stage, You couldn't leave the damn house without hearing this somewhere in the background. Whether it be the Car Radio, On Someone's iPod Headphones or people just humming it. This Song was EVERYWHERE!

--------

Bag Raiders - Sunlight


Just a Great Dance Tune from this talented Sydney Duo, I remember many nights just setting the dance floor ablaze to this song.

--------

Kanye West & Jay-Z ft La Roux - That's my Bitch


Kanye West, Jay-Z and La Roux, Sounds like a Black Hipster's Wet Dream.

--------

Miami Horror - Holidays


One of those Summer Driving Songs, You have this playing as loud as possible while you nod you head wearing your ridiculously designed sunglasses while taking dumb social network pictures.

--------

Metronomy - The Look


Minimalism in Music... This song is Truly Wonderful in a simple way. Also the Bass Player is Awesome as Shit, That dude looks like he gives such zero f*@$ at the moment.

--------

Childish Gambino - Freaks and Geeks


Donald Glover.... One of the most talented people on the Earth, He's taking over. In 5 Years he'll be either be a leading man in movies, a mega huge rap star or Dead.

--------

Cobra Starship (Ft Sabi)- You Make Me Feel


I dunno... It's just a fun song... Leave me Alone

========

EXPECT THIS TO GET EDITED A LOT DURING THE NEXT MONTH

You're Tearing Me Apart Lisa (Miller)

Touched up the Original Black and White Picture, added some colour and shading.... Turned out nicely. Wasn't very complicated but it looks great to me.

Wiki-Aid

Donate to Wikipedia

I can't imagine an internet without Wikiedpia. Its just everything you wanted to know and more is one simple search away. You can hit random article and you'll be taken to an article about some random historical figure, invention or country you would've never heard of and be given a detailed out line of what or where it is and its cultural and/or historical significance and anything else you didn't need to know.

Its a well of knowledge. Yet people look down upon wikipedia because its free to edit and anyone can edit it. WELL F#&* YOU! It's like a public encyclopedia written by everything and moderated by everyone. Its a modern marvel and should be supported. It has simplifed the way people acquire information and donating to such a thing just seem right to me.

Hell I'm going to donate to Wikipedia... So why don't you?

The Dark Side of the Rainbow

So...

I watched it the other night, the infamous Wizard of Oz Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon sync up. Its quite amazing at times how these two seperate works sync up perfectly. Some of the tracks like Breathe, Time and Money sync up just too well to be a coincedence.

My favourite sync up moment has to either come from "Brain Damage" with the Scarecrow Dance or Speak to Me / Breathe with the Robot dance.

Gin Nightmare

So it was my friend's 23rd birthday last night, he didn't really feel like gaving a big celebration. Just wanted a small get together at his house. I brought a bottle of Gin and 3 bottles of Ginger Ale to make my favourite mixed drink, A Gin with Ginger Ale.

I'm not sure what kind of fancy / manly name I should give that name. We settled with GG which is short for 'Good Game' in the online gaming community. That and Ginger Ale masks the taste of Gin quite well. Either way I got stupid amount of drunk as I just kept downing one glass after another. In the space of 2 to 3 hours I have consumed the entire Gin bottle and was out of my mind drunk. Not make a scene and fight everyone drunk. I was holding it all together pretty well all things considering. I do think I did throw up a few times, I can't remember but I do remember the ungodly Hang over I felt this morning.

GRANTED... It wasn't the worse Hang over I'm ever gotten but there really isn't a good way to drink a Bottle of Gin and not feel like garbage the next day. Even though it was a quiet get together and nothing much happened I still had a great time giving myself alcohol poisoning so I'll be sure to do it all again soon.

$800 an Hour....

So I was informed by a lady of the night (An Escourt) that she charges $800 an hour for her services...

The idea of buying somebody's body for $800 just seems to... ridiculous to me.

How could you possibly get $800 worth of anything out of a woman in an hour? I MEAN WHAT COULD SHE POSSIBLY DO THAT IS WORTH $800... AN HOUR!?!

DOES SHE HAVE LIKE 3 TONGIES?!!

Anyway in other less important stories, WWE '12 came out, It's okay, it's not as good as past WWE Titles. I've literally played all of them and still think Here Comes the Pain is the best version but then again it is evolving in some nice directions. 2008 and 2006 were stand outs too, if only you could use the best parts of each game.

I'm going to have to revisit them all now but I really like this feature of making new stories.

The Perfect Party

"The Perfect Party. It's an illusive Idea. People are to be entertained from the moment they walk in to the moment they Leave. An Experiment. And I am a Scientist... Welcome to my Labratory"

===========

On a recent episode of Parks and Recreation, another excellent NBC Comedy sitcom. The Character Tom throws what he hopes is... The Perfect Party. Now if I was to throw a Perfect Party and Expenses wasn't an option. I'd...

Find an Abandoned Warehouse, like you see in all those Hipster commercials about Foriegn Spirits. (Apparently You can find and party in Abandoned Warehouses Everywhere. (Okay I don't know because I haven't gone looking). But one of those. Then... A sweet Fog machine, Some sweet fucking disco lights, Neon Dance Floor, Animated Disney Movies projected on all the Walls, alcohol, cigarettes, an assortment of party drugs, fireworks, strippers, tigers, a cage fight, a bikini mud jelly ladies wrestling match in a pool, a food fight and if there is time a quick game of Laser Tag.

Actually that's pretty tamed come to think of it...

If I could plan the perfect party it honestly would be the most ellaborate party and would require multiple days of planning and scheming, but my current "Perfect Party" seems suit able for a budget under I dunno $5,000 minus the Tiger.

That's just unacceptable.

The House of Cards

An amazingly sublime and moving Radiohead track... Has nothing to do with this post.

As part of my Becoming the God of War Kratos fitness regreme I have going. I did the old House of Cards Workout routine last night.

For those that are unfamilur, the House of Cards workout is simple. You get a standard dack of cards and each suit you assign a simple wrkout like push-ups, sit-ups, etc. etc. So whatever card you draw is how many you do of the assigned workout. Last night I did this.

Hearts = Normal Push-Ups
Spades = Squats
Clubs = Leg Lift Crunches
Diamonds = Hindu Push-Ups (I think that's what they call that)

Had the Bastion Soundtrack blasting in the background while I worked out. I was already pretty exhausted after 15 minutes so I'm probably going to do this workout every other day. Tonight I'm using the Perfect Push-Up. I also need to go for a Run... like badly, I keep putting it off. Ugh need to get more motivated to run.

I'm seriously going to have to buy a ticket now.

A nice digital art piece...

Two of my favourite artists are headlining the Australia Big Day Out Tour, Kanye West and Kasabian, amoung a handfull of other acts I'm really interested in seeing. Like Noel Gallagher post Oasis.

Kanye West makes Amazing Music. Beautifully crafted hip hop tracks that genre sample with amazing expertise. Tracks like Power and Rnaway are just Masterpieces of Rap and sampling. Man is a dreaking Genius... He's an Asshole... BUT HE'S A GENIUS!

Kasabian make awesome music. Just fucking awesome music. It just sounds good. Like I'm listening to some form of mystical hipster rock and roll that was the soulchild of making a modern version of the Beatles... But more Awesome.

For Zoidberg

IF I had to pick one song from 2011 that stood out for me it would either be one of these 3 songs.

Miami Horror "Holidays", Bag Raiders "Sunlight" or that infectous Party Anthem "Party Rock" by LMFAO. I swear that song was as bad as AIDS at one point, It was god damn everywhere. You could've leave youe house with out at least 4 people playing it loudly through their car stereo or hand phones or just fucking singing it out loud.

Either way, I really liked the clip for "Holidays"

And that'll be it for today with the blog...

I'm working on a Scott Pilgrim Wallpaper and I'm going to continue to work out for the sole selfish purpose of looking like the God of War to go to a con to show off like the big show off that I am... And to hopefully pick up a cute 17 year old nerdy chinese girlfriend.

Then drop her for a American Hipster Girl that plays mysterious and hard to get.

Although... There is a good chance I'll run into someone cosplaying as Ramona.

The Supernova convention in Feburary seems like the good deadline for me. I should really get around to taking a shirtless pictures of myself. (I know right, how rude of me). How am I suppose to catalogue my transformation without photo evidence?

Pffft... First World Problem
