Camera Obscura - French Navy

We had to wait 3 years for this, but the new album (My Maudlin Career) is due to be out within a month. This Glasgow-based band had a huge influence on me with their last record Let's Get Out of This Country, and I had the chance to see them live. They were great. Anyway, enjoy the new video of this lovely song.

The Inbetweeners S2

Here's the trailer to the new season starting next Thursday. The second best English teen series is back. And this video tells us it's gonna be funny.

Röyksopp interview

Scandinavians are weird people but it's worth watching this 15 minute video so you can familiarize yourself with the general idea of Junior as Torbjorn and Svein give you a track by track review. I like this Junior Senior idea very much. Especially because we don't have to wait another 4 years for them to blow our minds out again. Cheers.

Bat for Lashes - Daniel

First single from Two Suns, the follow-up to Fur and Gold, which was a pretty amazing debut album 'back in the day'. Like it? Like it.

Lykke Li - I'm Good, I'm Gone

Feat. Robyn and others. Best version I've heard so far. She's got the best voice in the music business among women singers right now. I love her moves. She is so weird.

London Blackmarket - Checkmate

Is this a cool debut single or what?

breaking news!!!

Get on your dancing shoes kids 'cause Röyksopp is coming to town! Well, not quite, but they are among the performers of Balaton Sound festival. This might be the biggest, most astonishing piece of information of the century, of course only from a Hungarian's point of view. Or is it just me who got terribly excited? Although I know for a fact that Röyksopp does not perform the best live act and Robyn nad the others won't be here, but the show must be good and I'll definitely be there so I can at least tell my future children that I had been to a Röyksopp concert:) I hope they'll be playing some songs from Senior too. Until then, let's smoke some adrenalin and dance to Tricky Tricky. Junior is amazing btw. More on that later this week.

M.I.A. - Paper Planes

Okay, so I finally watched Slumdog Millionaire. Though it was a great movie, it definitely did not deserve the best picture academy award. I'm not saying the other nominees were better, because they weren't, but there were much better movies in 2008 than this one. They just had to pick one that had a sort of indie rhythm added to it, and give the most awards to that one. The funny thing is that all the nominated movies' premieres were at most 2 or 3 months before the ceremony. So much about the most acclaimed award, right?
I've watched a lot of movies recently, but I've still got many left unwatched on my computer. I've rewatched Heat and Fight Club, and finally saw Twelve Monkeys which I've never seen before. Great movie. I've got some more I can cross off of my list, such as Bolt, Role Models, Finding Amanda and Synecdoche New York. The latter was probably the best as it was moving, interesting and abstract and it made me think about lots of things. Philip Seymour Hoffmann at his best. Bolt was really funny. Probably funnier than Wall-E, and mos def funnier than Madagascar 2. Role Models has a huge amount of quotable one-liners and Finding Amanda was entertaining too. Well, it was created by Peter Tolan so it couldn't have been anything less than entertaining. The pigeons were hilarious. The only movie (out of about 10) I didn't like was Milk. It was just boring. Sean Penn was great in his role though. And James Franco too.
Anywho, the point of this post is that Slumdog Millionaire is a good movie, and even if it did not deserve the best picture award, it absolutely deserved the best music award. It reminded me of Skins' music. The way it connects to the movie and how it brings life to it. I loved it. You can watch the Slumdog M. version of Paper Planes' music video below.
Oh yeah, I changed the picture on the top of the page. It's a wonderful view of Vancouver from Tegan's apartment. Imagine waking up to this view. How cool is that?

The Dawn of a New Era

I have typed in more than a hundred posts now. Cool. It's time to post in English from now on. And to embrace this occasion, I have started another blog where I'm going to post random stuff that doesn't fit here. You can find it here. I guess it will be updated more frequently than this one, since it doesn't take that much time to post things there. Anyways, I'll try to keep this one alive too.

Today's music smells like shit, but it tastes like candy. Peace out.

The Field Mice - Canada

Épp Pains of Being Pure at Heart videókat nézegettem amikor belebotlottam guyitho youtube profiljába, és egy rakat jó dalra leltem. Ez a dal kifejezetten megtetszett, mert amellett hogy kedvenc országomról kapta nevét, nagyon fülbemászó is. Eredetileg egy POBPAH videót akartam belinkelni, de az Everything With You nem a kedvencem, ezért inkább várok amíg a Stay Alive-ból nem születik valami jó kis anyag. BTW eddig az év legjobb albumával büszkélkedhetnek úgyhogy hallgassa mindenki. Én azóta nem tudom letenni, hogy a soundtrack to a life blogon először megláttam.

Viszont ebből meg már úgysem lesz videoklip, hisz majd 20 éve feloszlottak, úgyhogy hallgassátok egészséggel. Aztán meg irány ide szemezgetni.

Folyton a noise-pop, a manic street preachers és a sixpenxe none the richer fogalmak járnak a fejemben ezek hallgatása közben. ász.

She & Him - I Was Made for You (live)

Ma újranéztem a Go-Getter-t és kedvet kaptam egy kis She & Him hallgatáshoz. Ez a dolog M. Ward és Zooey Deschanel közös projektje. Az előbbi a zenét szolgáltatta a fent említett filmhez, míg utóbbi játszott benne. Így jöhetett létre ez a zenekar, ami aranyos dalokkal szórakoztatja a nagyérdeműt. 50-es évek rulez? Zooey-nak lesz most egy új filmje Gigantic címmel, ami nagyon várós. Galaxis útikalauzból lehet ismerős, legutóbb pedig Jim Carrey-vel hülyült az igenemberben.
