Awkwardly similar to my last share, this one's been in my rotation for a couple of months strong now, as well. A bit reminiscent of "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", but it's definitely got its own unique vibe it kicks.
Off of Capsule's 83489345th album Flashback, this is "I'm Feeling You" --
Forgive the absence, vox -- you are not forgotten.
To the point -- this song is just indescribably good. I've needed a good, simplistic song to fall in love with lately, and this hit the spot perfectly -
I was wishing waiting
To get a little closer to you
그럼 혹시 조금은 나를 알아볼 수 있니
It's unusual
누구나 날 기억하긴 하는데
나의 환한 미소도 네겐 특별하진 않지Must I always be waiting
Must I always be waitingI was wishing waiting
두근거리는 마음
네가 다가올때면 기대만 커지는데
It's unusual
누구나 날 기억하긴 하는데
나의 환한 미소도 네겐 특별하진 않지Always be waiting
Always be wishing you were hereI sang your song
I'm dancing and your dance is for the fans
We could be
Together someday
I sang your song
I'm dancing and your song is for the fans
You could be
Thinking about meI was calling you
I was keep on waving
I was calling you
I was keep on waving
I was calling you
I was keep on waving
I was calling you
I was keep on wavingI was wishing waiting

As mentioned previously, a taste of glitch hop. edIT's "Straight Heat", off of his sophomore album Certified Air Raid Material.
Truth be told, I've maintained and defended a 'meh' stance on hiphop/rap (mostly due to figuring they were the same thing) until this year. After finally going through a lot of ATCQ, Eazy, Biggie, basically all of NWA, etc. and giving them a chance, I discovered how much less retarded they are/were compared to the trash being put out these days. Lyrically, at least. Musically... eh, it's hit or miss for me. Musicality in hiphop has never been anything I've had much appreciation for -- which should be no surprise to those who know me -- as it's obviously not meant to be the spotlight of the tracks, rather the lyricism instead. Now before hurling bricks, I'm not at all saying it's bad, but me... well, my ears are trained and conditioned to listening to tracks that somebody's given more than an hour's worth of engineering work on, along with some actual depth and variety (something 95% of hiphop has always lacked according to my ears) to the layers and instrumentation. It's hard to argue against saying production value -- even on the crunky, hyphy, toilet flush beats these days -- has increased with the times, though. Advancements in audio production technology since the days of the greats have come a dime a dozen, and while some still can't find their way around a proper drum cut, the vast majority seem to get things right.
That being said, after listening to as many sides of the hiphop spectrum I could possibly find, I've finally found what I've been looking for out of the genre: glitch hop. Heavy hitting basses, meticulously cut 'n spliced synths and dancefloor killing melodies fusing under glitchy vfx samples and verses reminiscent of the days when a track didn't have to be about multiple bank accounts, mile-high rims or pimping hoes to sell records comprise the sub-genre's infectious and, for lack of a quainter term, badass sound. With actual production value that not only exceeds my expectations, but a fresh sound that I can actually dig and find myself listening to for hours on end, as well.
Check out edIT and the rest of The Glitch Mob on Myspace for more hotness.
I keep finding this song running constantly in the back of my mind lately. It's just one of those pieces of music you don't have to search very far for to find emotive beauty in, and it's been mellowing my days out indescribably well.
Though I admittedly have no idea what the song is actually about (yeah, I totally speak perfect Korean, watch me), I don't really find it to matter. I think I'd actually prefer not knowing. The way the music symbiotically melts with the vocals... can't get enough of it.
Superlative bliss.
I've neglected song sharing for far too long. There've been countless tunes I've been really feeling over the past few months, but rarely had thought to blog them. So not like me. :(
But that's why I'm here! Time to change that, and get back to sharing great eargasms with all of you.
I think it's about horse racing.
My effortless transcription (
We were walking down the street
6 AM yeah, we were talkin'
Smell of rain and early morning
Is all we needed to get startedBut something hit me
I thought the world was falling down
And then I realized
That I saw something impossibleEveryday's always the same
But this is something I hadn't felt before
What the hell am I doing here
It's not like running is an optionAnd she was crumbling down
And we were falling down
And we could see it all become clearer
She was crumbling down
And we were falling down
And we could see it all become clearerIt's a long shot penny, everything you tell me
You turn it into a lie, I really wonder if the
Sun this morning, had never risen
There would be no goodbyesIt's funny what I wanted most
I turned away without a second thought
And who would've thought it'd come to this
But now I'm asking for another chanceAnd now I'm falling down
My world is crumbling down
I wish that it would all become clearer
And now I'm falling down
My world is crumbling down
I wish that it would all become clearer(Chorus)
But I don't wanna do it alone
'Cause I need you in my life and if I
Thought that I would want you to know
You would come back to my side (to my side)
Stunning. Eizinger was really telling the truth when commenting that Light Grenades sounds like "13 different songs by 13 different bands."
The title track... meh. Not feeling it yet. Hopefully that'll change.
Only a couple more weeks! =)
If any of the reminiscing that was had while walking back from picking up groceries this evening is worth mentioning, it's that I really, really, reeeeaaally miss having a fireplace. So many childhood memories stand out to me that include our old fireplace... the good memories, mostly. Good family memories. Boy, what I wouldn't give to get up right now, put on a firelog, and just cozy up on the couch to a good movie with some hot chocolate... no wait, make that mint hot chocolate. And the movie, one of those feel-good-but-not-too-cheesy movies, like Sleepless In Seattle or something. D: Ack! Must stop before my heart bursts into flames... or, melts! Or something! Y'know, something to do with an overload of warmth, and whatnot. Must have a fireplace again in the future!
Moving forward, I feel I should spread the love once more with some Be The Voice goodness, as a couple keen folk have finally been shown the light upon finding my previous song share post with Gatsu no Kirin. I feel it appropriate to share the song that first got me hooked on Be The Voice -
maango maangoo~~~
Anywho... time to wrap this up. I feel like running some. This bowl of Peppermint ice cream isn't making me feel any leaner. It's been nearly a year since I moved here to the city and discovered my joy of jogging... and now that the cold season has rolled back around, I can finally take a brisk, chilly evening few laps around the neighborhood again in the setting that got me hooked in the first place. With firewood aroma in the air, and all. =)
Ahhh, good times...
Oh! And before I forget... I'm not sure whether to be fickle or flattered, but Knick of Evol Intent is using a picture I snapped of him earlier this year as his Myspace profile picture. I think I may go with the latter, since he's... one of the nicer fellows in dnb I've had the honor of speaking with. ;)
My camera's been racking up pictures I've been meaning to make whole posts about, but I am LAZY. so here they all are in their glory:
I dunno what YOUR pc runs on, but it's definitely not as cool as this one at work.
Yes, I have no shame. Bad picture ftw fools, not like I ever cared! Just for growth reference of my first goatee... I think I'm closing in on week 3. I think.
And because no post would be complete without a song share, I give you this -
ohhhhhhhhhh be the voice, where have you been all of my bossa life...
if i had the the time i'd upload every single song in their discog, but i'm itching to fall asleep. so while i can't let the post go useless, here's one of the standouts from their album 'drawing':
her voice... so refreshing... so romantic, in the old fashioned 'beautiful' kinda meaning. i'm enthralled. i haven't been so progressively engrossed in an artist so quickly since first discovering pendulum...
Picked up a new phone over the weekend - a W810i. I'm very, very pleased with it so far. =) I need to find a cheap pro-duo stick somewhere...
And guess what? This also means I lost all of my contacts. AGAIN! Stupid phones not letting me be able to save my contacts to my sim card... bleh. So, I guess since Vox is all public and stuff, call me or text me (with your name) if you can, pretty please. Thanks yosssssssss!
Anywho... I made a kickin' dnb mix last night, but upon listening it over after finishing recording it, it seems Traktor dun fugged everything up and placed a cue marker on the 120,000th beat of the 2nd song or something, rendering it impossible to write to a wav. Lovely. Oh well. =( I'll try and make another soon...
I should probably get to bed now. Been having a randomly hard time getting to sleep this past week. Again. I feel pretty tired right now though, and... I think I'll take advantage of it. Or at least attempt to!
Oh! And a quick song share. I think I stuck this tune somewhere earlier in a post saying it wasn't all it was hyped up to be, but it's really been growing on me during the times I've listened to it off and on. It's absolutely beautiful. A song I wish I could really, actually, take a morning drive with...
