The vocals are really reminiscent of The Go! Team and I found the circusy vibes bring me back to the great "Oompa Radar" by Goldfrapp, all in all a greeeaaat track! Sad it didnt make it onto the album in full but you can still here samples of it in one of my fave tracks on the album, "Rhinestone Eyes" [which reminds me of that good old track Rock It].
feeling slightly depressed since my love Neon Indian is playing in Montreal tonight, but i unfortunatly couldn't make it because 1. i have school the next day back here in ottawa and 2. im not 18 til april...
but just when i thought all was lost, they have released a new mp3!!! "Sleep Paralysist" by Neon Indian[download here]
hmmm.. i dont know guys, i'm diggin what i heard on Psychic Chasms a bit more, but maybe it just needs a few more listen, i mean its obviously great to here some new Neon Indian material either way

despite what i read about MGMT saying they didnt want any singles of their new album to be released and that they wanted it to be heard as a whole a new track is available on their website:
what do you think?
i like it, a lot of people think MGMT is overrated, and they kinda are.. but i've always loved them from the first moment i heard Time To Pretend
from what i read about Congratulations this track wasn't what i was expecting, it still sounds very much like MGMT, but better.
excited for the rest of the album? april 13th 2010 [day before my birthday]
haha this is just sooo good, a very soulful, funky, and old school cover of that great Justice track: "D.A.N.C.E. (Justice Cover)" by Hawa[mp3]
theres also that Jay-Z track that samples a line from the song, and i've always hated Jay-Z for what he did to that Punjabi MC song but i actually dig this tune: "On to the Next One" by Jay-Z[download here]
when are you gonna hear from justice again eh?
im also wondering why i've never seen this video...
"DVNO" by Justice
now thats a music video!

///////////////////////////////////
so much to blog and so little time haha
so during my trip to Toronto my mom apparently knew everywhere so we checked out some vintage/little unknown shop in/near? China Town and i found this fab dress for only 20:
so my mother decided to 'go shopping for me' at the final clearance sale and got these shoes for me for $11, only later to find out theyw ere originally $150 after we took all the stickers off! go figure eh
[Dress from random chinese store, shoes from Winners, jacket from UO, necklaces from Aldo, tights from my mom]
pretty great, i've been waiting so impatiently to hear from them. man, i friggin loved them in my youth haha, and i still do of course. their music was so new to me and just the concept of the band being cartoons was so appealing at the time. they were the first band that i 'had to know everything about'. i remeber spending so much time exploring their amazing interactive website, they've redone it recently too for their new upcoming album and it still slightly scares me as always...
god how can you not love these guys? such a blend of styles and presented in such a unique way.
where were you when you first heard about Gorillaz? and when did you find out they were friggin cartoons?? i mean Damon Albarn's great voice and Jamie Hewlett's amazing illustrations [love you tank girl], how could they be bad really?
"Plastic Beach" comes out tomorrow and boy i cant wait to hear some new tracks from these guys
but while we wait heres an amazing remix [thats a free download by the way]:
"Stylo (feat. Mos Def and Bobby Womack) (Chiddy Bang Remix)" by Gorillaz[download here]
[this little widget sure is handy dandy]
I might like it better than the original... havent decided yet
//////////////////////////////
ps, im on the train home... and if i ever take a train again... [even though i know i will.]
but yeah, this interview went very well, the people at York are very nice and helpful, but you know? Yorks not downtown! why the hell did i even apply! still it has a huge campus and its like 40min commute to the downtown....
excuse the lack of posts, been busy going back and forth to toronto recently [plus a busy weekend haha], as we speak im on another 4.5 hour train ride to toronto... fun.
so yes i was at OCAD last thursday and i did manage to find the dress i wanted in time for the dance! [was only in purple in my size though but still amazing] so yesss, im a happy camper...
the interview went alrgiht i guess, its hard to say, the first interviewer say a whole lot of nothing and the second said id be better off with fashion [which i didnt dissagree about] but yeah it hard to tell what the final verdict is haha
so tomorrow im off to another interview to York University for their graphic design program which im feeling a lot better about even though its not really what i'd love to do... well im with my mom this time so i hope shell buy me some new kicks because apparently my green ones are "falling apart and disgusting"...
