Hay...

...listen to this.

Remember the Kooks?  Fun lovin' little indie band from somewhere in or near the UK?  Came out several years ago? Anything? Nothing?  Well, this is a pretty hoppin' reprise of one of my favorites from them 'Naive' done by Jean Tonique.  Its as catchy as the original with twice the pep!  You listen!

Next is Miike Snow's black and blue which has just recently graced my ears.  I guess this album has been out since 2010, but nobody ever told me about it.  Anyway, I find that every time I hear this song, I need to listen to it a little louder than the previous listen; something about that fast little synth-laced hook in the chorus that tickles my fancy every time.  You listen! You listen now!

And then we have us some Santigold.  You may remember her music from the dancing guy at her concert in 2009. But this song is much better than that. Its actually a good enough single to make me want to check out any follow up LP.  LISTEN to it! Do it, do it NOW!

Finally we have just a good ol' beaty track by deadmau5 and kaskade called 'I Remember.'

And lastly but not leastly, I tacked on another worthy santigold snippet for your brief amusement.

Therefore, be ye amused.  Did I mention you can download these mixes for increased availability and better stereo options? Did I already mention that? Just making sure...

Young Ones

Surprise.

A blog.

S'ben a while, no? How have you been?? Good, yes?

Good, well, moving along...

I missed the entire month of June without a single post and I dang near missed July, but I thought I'd better put some effort into this here webpage, lest my readers grow upset with me and hate me. So if you've been checking this daily seething in disappointment every time you were greeted by the same inspiring video, I'm sorry. But only a little sorry, because it's a good video.

So today's magic word is: babies.


Currently babies = life, and I don't see that changing for a couple decades. But despite the loss of all things autonomous, I've enjoyed the dickens out of fatherhood. I'm really surprised by this because I remember dragging my feet when it came to shopping and filling our house with baby goods. All I knew is that I didn't want to suffer the fate of all the other unsuspecting parents who end up with the living room looking like a Fisher-Price garage sale. But after having the youngsters for several months, I've grown ok with it. Nay, I enjoy it. Anything that makes them happy, makes me happy. It's like having kids make you skip from cool mr.never-act-a-fool to sentimental mr.cheesy-parental. (Did you like that rhymery? It took me way too long to come up with.)

I swear every stupid little thing they do, excluding emesis and excrement, melts my innards. I hardly even call them by their real names. Instead they've become every derivative of wittle punkins or muff'ns. But seriously, can you think of words more fitting? I cannot.


But now I'm in a real pickle because I don't want this to become another sappy blog about my kids, but they've dang near absorbed every spare corner of my life, and I am really stretching to conjure up other blog topics. And since I've been out of school, I don't even have the time to sort through oodles of music whilst I do my homework. *Sniffles* I guess I should be glad that the homework part is done I guess. Even this playlist I made way back when. Its dope, no?? What, you turned it off? That's it, I'm done here.
