"It's hard to take risks with a pessimist"

Okay, i am still listening to Menomena..i fell in love with that band the minute i heard their songs..
And the albums are pure heaven..
Menomena's music is just absolutely fan-fucking-tabulous, the sound never goes where you expect it to go, it flows on its own - the melodies, the rhythms, the bass, the sax, the piano riffs (keyboard+moog, i think), the vocals..


I Am The Fun Blame Monster

The album just drags you in..the whole thing goes by so fast you don't even notice it..And you play it again and again and still hear new litte nuances that weren't there during the first or the second time..
The drumming - oh man, the drumming..it's like dance, it's like hip-hop, its crazy! That dude is a Machine!!no loops
'Strongest Man in the World' is a must from this album, as is Twenty Cell Revolt.Oh, and Trigga Hiccups too..




Oh, and btw, I Am Fun Blame Monster=Menomena's First Album..yup, intentional..i like these guys:D
Press play and sit by the window:)



Under An Hour

It has 3 songs..well, hmm, i guess they're not actually the typical songs one expects to hear on an album..Rather three tracks of instrumental music, each of which is almost 20 minutes long.. Water, Flour and Light..i must say that Flour is my favourite, the sax and piano riffs blend in perfectly..

Friend and Foe

Did i already mention how much i love their artwork..Because it is so good..
The whole thing is superb.From the beginning to the end.All unique, interesting and beautiful.In one word: Amazing

although i already posted some,i'll put them here again..


Wading through this mess together
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
Some may stumble, some may fall behind





oh yeah, definately a moog it is:D

the bass...
