Winter In Your Heart

Snow makes everything better, have I already written that in one of my previous posts? Because it truly does.Especially when the sun glistens back from it.How can one not be happy?..
On Sunday, me and my Giraffe of a dear friend (who came for a little visit from the birthplace of Renaissance) went for a walk with a camera.Or actually I walked and freezed my ass off, while taking pictures.But it was worth it.
Why? There really is no way how to describe the feeling I got while walking through the park and at the same time my earphones provided the perfect soundtrack for what I was doing.In the wide spectrum of movies, there exists this cool little ditty called Across The Universe, which has amazing music in it.Ok, fine lets be fair - one cannot really fuck up with The Beatles music, now can they?..On second thought, yeah, it's possible..
Anyways,what I'm trying to write is that while I took pictures, I listened to the ATU soundtrack.Some of the actors sing the songs themselves, giving a different vibe and they are not bad.Not bad at all:) With A Little Help From My Friends, I Am Walrus, Let It Be, Come Together, I Want You, Helter Skelter etc. were playing and holy shit - everything was even more vivid. The colors, the texture of the nature, everything.

[On a sidenote, Joe Cocker does THE best Beatles cover with his performance of With A Little Help From My Friends at Woodstck..that thing right there is my fucking nirvana!..i cannot even count how many times i've watched that clip..oh, and he has a small part in the ATU movie as well]



















































Mmmm, hot cocoa after the frickin' cold weather outside was like a little cup of heaven..Soooooo good!!:)

BBC Sound of 2010

Usully lists are weird and very subjective and have no point at all, except to the people who made them. But there are exceptions.And one I really, really like is the BBC Sound one.
Because it actually kinda sorta gets it right for the upcoming music year (many may agree or not with the choices).
I just like it, because I get the chance to discover some new music.And also compare at the end of the year, whether the predictions were correct or not.
So here it is, I will put some videos and the introductory stuff from the list.

1.Ellie Goulding
If Kate Bush, Bjork and Stevie Nicks shared a flat in trendy Shoreditch in 2010, this noise would emerge.


I really like her voice,how she changes the range..


2. Marina and the Diamonds

Her voice has this cool bassy sound..weirdly reminds of Florence&TM at some point..But the video is like Katy Perry 2.0, and it srsly freaks me out.So thankfully I found the acostic version as well.And it is 100x times better.



3. Delphic

Am I paranoid or is this like an eclectic mix of MGMT and the Klaxons?..Throw in a bit of New Order and Friendly Fires as well.

4. Hurts
Musically, they construct melancholic 1980s-inspired electro-pop with songs that they say are inspired by the British mentality of being "not too bad".

I fucking love this song!!
It's like Depeche Mode/New Order/Tears For Fears, only more darker..And the video, the video is exactly sth that would have been made in the 80s.By Anton Corbjin, like the article mentioned and I have to agree with it.
Hypnotic

5. The Drums

Quite the catchy song..Surf pop.

Devlin

Hm, i don't even know..Not for me at the moment.

Daisy Dares You

Um, teeny-pop'ish..
Same as the previous,nope.

Everything Everything
I really like this surreal song.


Giggs
Interesting

Gold Panda


Japanese influence is obvious, it makes the sound more layered and interesting.

Joy Orbison


Owl City

God damn song has been haunting my brain for two months now, gaahh..

Rox

So good, amazing vocals,jazzy+funky vibe.Me likey a lot.


Stornoway
This band right here is a musical pearl (well,for me at least).




Two Door Cinema Club


Nice indie pop-rock.
***
Those were the 15 artists on the list..
And the bands going to my crappy ipod-replacement-mp3-player are: Hurts, Stornoway, The Drums, Gold Panda, Two Door Cinema Club, Rox.
