I've been waking up in the middle of the night lately.... and usually during these late hours I will catch up on some reading (mostly missed posts on Google Reader) and I stumble. Tonight I stumbled upon this incredible music video - for a song by electronic artist, Pogo. The track is basically made up of sound clips from Alice in Wonderland. It is actually quite beautiful and I instantly fell in love with it. (For anyone that knows me well - noodley, spacey, pretty instrumentals like this will usually hook me pretty easily). After investigating a bit further, I just found out that Mau had posted this same video earlier this week. Makes sense.. and I'm not surprised as he and I see eye to eye on music in general... and anything that represents even a touch of our childhood will instantly be a favorite.
But wow.. the hook on this song is just as addicting as watching Alice in Wonderland. I can't stop listening to it. :)
It's midnight... and I am listening to the rain. It has been raining all week in Los Angeles. And it seems like it will continue to this weekend.
Telefon Tel Aviv is just perfect for this weather... I've been listening to their remixes pretty much non-stop all week.
This song somehow floored me the first time I heard it. The events surrounding that first time listen were not as compelling as the way it made me feel. I just remember falling in love with the way this song was structured. No vocals... just synthetic beats.... dreamy... foreign...
a great soundtrack to the way my thoughts seem to move through my brain...
I love songs that seem cerebral. With many layers. I love uncovering each layer... figuring out why they work...
or why they do not.
Nonetheless, this song is right up my alley. The dreamy landscape, layered, ambient, type deal...
I cannot really wait until tomorrow to post my Friday favorite... I had to do it a day early for this one. That's how much I love this song :)
Telefon Tel Aviv is one of my absolute favorite unclassifiable bands. Ever. Probably # 1 of them all.
They are best on headphones whilst traveling, adventuring, exploring, crafting, baking, even working... :)
Enjoy.
Something about this particular remix of a favorite song is somehow hitting a spot inside.
(Hi Mau! feel free to comment)
I've had my head caught up in my travel plans these past two weeks. So much that I've started looking at dates to book myself on more trips... solo. I just bought my first SLR camera... and I cannot wait to put that baby to good use. I think I need to be alone to really stretch the capabilities of my camera ... and to figure out how much I will learn and can teach myself ... both on photography and the new city I will be exploring.
Mr. Singh produced my theme song many years ago. I heart him.
buy mixtapes, make mixtapes.. they are fun. Also.. read this.
Enjoy.
