been a long time…
it’s been a long time, since i took the time to leave physical manifestations of myself in the “blogosphere.”
Does anyone use that word anymore?

two new videos
this is hadouken!’s new video for “Leap of Faith.”
I have mixed feelings about it. It reminds me too much of a more mainstream Linkin Park-esque vibe that I don’t necessarily appreciate. It also has a heavy metal influence in the beginning that doesn’t really mesh well either and the nu-rave elements are somewhat lost in [...]

regina spektor

the other is tori amos. unfortunately, tori amos is too obvious as a gay icon for me.
regardless, i really do love this song and the simplicity in the a [...]

twista feat. pharrell
i’ve never been a fan of mainstream hip hop.

video vomit
so usually i try to post one video at a time, but instead of meticulously rationing my current video list i just decided to put them all up and perpetuate my laziness.

buzz of the blogs
this is one of the videos being posted by some of the music blogs i read.

beyond the valley of the dolls + three girl harmony + 60s rock = <3

liquid lives
Hadouken! has been on several radar screens and this videos proves that their unabashed upbeat youthful rebellion is worthy of at least a listen.
Lyrically, I feel I’m a little too old for “drink, smoke, fuck, fight.”
But, it still wouldn’t prevent me from dumping it in my playlist.
