Bringing You The Greatest Songs On The Planet
I have to be honest, I’m a little tired of rappers talking about cars, big screen tvs, blunts, 40s, and women.
Okay I lied, I’m utterly sick of it. I mean, how many different ways can you splice up “I’ll kill you,” “I’m better than you,” “I smoke a lot of weed,” “I have more money than you,” and “I have a lot of sex?”
*Yawn*
Justin here, yesterday Evan passed on this mind boggling song which I’ve proceeded to listen to at least 40 times in the last 24 hours. Why is it so good? Dream Catcher is utterly different from anything I have ever heard before and this brings up an interesting point on the evolution of music.
We live in a good time for music. As digital technology advances and its limits are explored we are frequently treated to new sounds the human ear has never heard before. Even better is how we can so easily combine different genres to create that musical fusion we love so much over here.
Last Wednesday we mentioned a band called OceanLab, a side-project of the legendary electronic group Above and Beyond and vocalist Justine Suissa. In the ten years they’ve been producing together OceanLab has created a plethora of trance classics.
The thing that makes OceanLab so great is their unique, highly emotional sound. OceanLab is largely a concept group: the vast majority of their songs sound like music created by a people who live in the middle of the ocean, both floaty and lonely at the same time. Enjoy an example while you continue reading (remember to hit the jump first and then press play).
Justin here. Today I have a treat for you guys, a group called Hope Atlantic. This is a new band and I’m actually friends with the bassist (who doesn’t know I’m writing this yet, think he’ll be surprised?).
So what’s the deal with Hope Atlantic? Well if you’ll be patient I’ll tell you. Okay are you ready? Here it is:
They’re awesome.
Now I know you’re probably thinking, “But everything here is awesome Justin. We need more, tell us more!”
Vains of Jenna is a Swedish rock band that signed to Bam Margera’s Filthy Note label in 2006 and oh boy…Justin here, I have to interrupt this regular post to say that WE LOVE ROCK!
We love it, and luckily Vains of Jenna plays pure-bred, 100% high octane rock. Head DIRECTLY over to their Myspace page and start up their first song before you continue reading. Go ahead, we’ll wait.
