making love to the sound of keytars

Let's get keytarded!

2009-11-15T14:28:00.000-08:00

I just found the fucking sweetest band ever!
They're called Keytarded and as you might understand they all play keytars!
If that wasn't enought they play the exact same modell that I have and they fucking meow melodies n shizzle. The only song that I can find by 'em is on their myspace and it's a cover of Love will tear us apart by Joy Division.
http://www.myspace.com/keytardedband is their myspace adress.
Greeaaaaat!

Video games!

2009-11-06T12:17:00.000-08:00

Another great type of music is video game music. In this case old 8-bit video music.
I grew up loving video games, even though I'm a bit too young to have been able to play the real old-timers from the 80s.
About a year ago I decided to change this. I bought an old NES machine and played my ass off.
Such old timers as Zelda, Super Mario Bros and Tetris were what was up!

I realised that I had never thought about the music in games that much when I played 'em as a kid and that I'd missed out on something great.

I think what fascinates me most about it is the fact that the music is so restricted. They have too keep it simple 'cause the machine can't play anything even remotely complicated. Take the Zelda soundtrack for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVQArWCu3bs (I don't seem to find a way to make it show so the link will have to work for now)

It's so simple but yet so complex. The beat works perfect with the high pitched 8-bit tunes!

It's here! It's great! It's funky fresh!

I'm in love with this keytar, seriously. I'ma play dis shizzle all night long!
I'll try to upload a demo video of me playing around with it later on.

And the music will be recorded after I've bought a midi cable.

Live long and prosper.

Might this be why?

If there's something I've learned during my quite few years of existence on this planet that we call earth* it's that when you can't sleep, music's your best friend.
Especially when it's such great music as the compositions of Friska Viljor. I'd indeed say that they're one of the best swedish bands in history.
I don't know what it is about them that brings me such joy but it has to have something to do with the great combination of trashy mandolin playing and semi-false singing. I love it!

If you haven't heard 'em you need to listen to this song:
I Gave My Life: http://open.spotify.com/track/5OFovg2L5gfL0LDm4Z8UaW
and every other song on the Bravo! album for that matter.

If I fall asleep now the dawn will arrive faster

It's not like I'm a slut
Or that I really like to fuck
I just want every boy I see
To walk away with part of me
Until there's nothing left to hold
Until there's nothing left to hate
I appreciate your help
But even you can't save me from myself

On the radio

2009-10-21T14:24:00.000-07:00

Oh, oh!

I be sitting here listening to the "latest" mainstream tunez on the radio.
I'm seriouslt dissapointed. Why do people insist in listening to Lady Gaga fucking 24/7?

Oh wait. Fever ray just came on!

Goooood shit.

I've ben listening to this kind of music alot lately. I guess my taste in music is changing to winter mode with more chilled out electronic music. Now that's a great way to spend a cold winter night!

I was living in a devil town
I didn't know it was a devil town
Oh lord it really brings me down about the devil town

All my friends were vampires
I didn't know they were vampires
It turns out I was a vampire myself in the devil town

I know they want it, alcoholics are some sex freaks

I guess I can't have a music blog without mentioning Brokencyde once. They're such a great phenomenon.
I mean, a more craptastic combination between bad auto-tuned gayness and just plain screaming is really hard to come by in todays really musically developed world. They're sorta like Neanderthals meeting the man of the future, trying to start a fire in the kitchen to cook a boar.

Their lyrics are so amazingly bad that I have to quote some of it right now. In "Freaxxx" the screaming guy says the following:

"Convertible top, and the wheels spin.
I can taste that ice when my grill is in.
If you want me baby feel me in.
'cause I don't waste my time with lesbians."

I am seriously impressed that a human being could come up with lyrics like these. It's amazing!

And to top it all off, here it is. The video to Freaxxx.

Tsk tsk

It's been a while since I made a post and unfortunately I don't have that much to say.

There was some weird error with my synth and it was shipped to Italy instead of Sweden. But hey it does sound alike. "Milano, Italy" and "Stockholm, Sweden"
Anyways, it has all been worked out and it should arrive at my door sometime this week. Happy happy!

To keep this related to music I made a spotify playlist with some sweet tunes for chilled out times.
Chinese masturbation: http://open.spotify.com/user/glazeriouz/playlist/0z1WHTr2lfcXdIRdJfuac5
It includes a lil bit of this:

Listenin'

2009-10-03T09:03:00.000-07:00

Yup, so I'm sitting here listening to some tunes with my sis. A great way to spend a Saturday when you're semi-hungover.
Right now I'm listening to Her Space Holiday and it's just funky enough to get you in a good mood without stressing you out.
The telescope is such a brilliant song. Listen to it if you haven't already.

In a couple of hours I'm gonna go watch some local bands at this music event thingy since I know the members of one of the bands.
Hope the other bands will be good as well but I somehow doubt it.

Another great song by Her Space Holiday

Old people with headphones.

2009-09-30T07:58:00.000-07:00

Ok so I've been wondering about this thing for a while now. I see old people with headphones every time I walk outside. They're friggin everywhere and they always wear those really old crappy 'phones similar to the ones you get on airplanes. These are most of the time plugged into an ipod.
Every time I see one of them I wonder, "what's that person listening to?" Are they all listening to old time classics, mainstream pop or hardcore german techno? And why do they keep insisting on using those crappy headphones?
They walk there, looking really concentrated and they're obviously listening to something they appreciate but I can never hear what it is... It's so annoying!

No synth today.

2009-09-28T11:11:00.000-07:00

I got home from school and was happily surprised when I found a letter in the mail informing me that I had a package to pick up at the post-office. Unfortunately when I arrived it turned out that no Yamaha shs-10 had arrived. Only my new bought Nintendo duck hunt cap.
So here I am, a little upset that I didn't get to try it out today. Oh well, I'll probably get it some time this week and I'll Have plenty of time to play all weekend.

I got this blog, see?

2009-09-27T15:12:00.000-07:00

I guess I could start by telling whoever might read this why I started this blog.
You see, I have a vision. A musical vision. A vision of all those ideas of lyrics and music that I have in my head actually reaching the real world for once.

I've never been that good at playing instruments (even though I've played the guitar for almost 3 years now) I just don't seem to make it work even though I have this huge passion for music.
But lately I've been thinking that I've evolved to the point that I can make it. And that's why I created this blog.
It's about my adventure from total tool to capable of making music that people might be able to listen to for once. I even bought a keytar (partly) for this and I hope I can make some kick ass tunes with it!

I will be posting here every now and then and keep you updated with my progress as a musician and post whatever music/lyrics I spit out.

I'll also post some music links and stuff like that. But this entire blog is made to be music-oriented.

I got myself one of these badboyz:

Anyways, I hope you'll find this interesting and decide to follow my experiment.
