Fun Trax

So there's been a couple of fun tracks that I've run across this week:

Truckasaurus - Angels Sound Like - Angels Sound Like a more interesting Ratatat apparently. I didn't think the other tracks on their site were that cool, but this one is gold. Thanks forkcast.

Architecture in Helsinki - Heart It Races - Track from their new album (apparently/hopefully). The associated blurb talks about how it's an actual factual whole song, that builds and doesn't just jump from hook to sweet, sweet hook. I think they're right, and while I like the old method of AiH songwriting, this could be just fine.

The Crayon Fields - Living So Well - All the tracks on here are in that 'fun-pop-twee-california-horns-backup-vocals' kind of way. So, somewhere between Beulah and Belle and Sebastian, basically. (That is one of my first Z is like X+Y comparisons, hope it's good). From Australia.

Ah, the joys of wikipedia

Nothing like learning that 20 years after the original, the Brady Bunch group attempted to reunite again - this time as a drama. Apparently it was a horrible, horrible flop (though this fact is in no way surprising).

Check out some of the spoilers, courtesy of wikipedia:

-Bobby's budding car-racing career ends abruptly in the first episode after an accident leaves him a paraplegic.

-Jan and Phillip (whom she married in The Brady Girls Get Married -dan), unable to conceive children of their own, adopt a Korean girl.

-Radio host Cindy begins a romantic interest with her boss, a widower more than 10 years her senior who has two children.

-Stay at home mother Marcia battles alcoholism while Wally loses yes another in a series of jobs.

No word on what happened to Greg, I personally hoped he would have returned during May sweeps as a post-op transexual neurosurgeon who attempts a radical experimental treatment to get heal Bobby. Will Pauline/Greg reveal his connection to the family? Will Jan's gloating over Marcia finally drive her sister to the edge? Will Bobby walk again? Stay tuned next season, for all these answers, and more...

Trying out New stuff

So I'm messing around with this blogging software bleezer. We'll see how it goes. I think that a good 70 percent of all blogs are like mine - a post like once every month that begins with an apology, contains promises for more content, and then no new material again for another month.

Pretty kicking month for movies for the 18-34 male set, between Grindhouse, Aqua Teens and Hot Fuzz. I'm curious if it was a coincidence, or if there's some sort of subconcious trend that 'the ad-wizards' have picked up on. If it is there, and gets solidified, and becomes like a 'pre-summer odd-ball over-the-top-explosions and irony before the mega blockbusters with over the top explosions hit in may in order to be the big summer giant opening and we don't want these smaller movies to be completely obliterated' kind of month, well, I for one would not be too disappointed.
