We'll Meet Again by Marina Gasolina and Micky Moonlight

Groo + Vy = Shopping Cart video by Parallel Dance Ensemble

I recently found this "band". 

Then I listened to this song, Shopping Cart by Parallel Dance Ensemble. 

Now I'm sharing it with all y'all cuz I put it on repeat for an entire day. 

Enjoy... 

So + Ng = Heart it Races by Dr. Dog

And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in our laces. 

Heart it Races by Dr. Dog is on repeat today. 

So + Ng = In for the Kill by La Roux

We can fight our desires 
But when we start making fires 
We get ever so hot 
Whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust? 
Two hearts with accurate devotions 
And what are feelings without emotions? 

I'm going in for the kill 
I'm doing it for a thrill 
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand 
And not let go of my hand

So + Ng = Fall Creek Boys Choir, Enough Thunder by James Blake with Bon Iver

It is a Bon Iver kind of day....... so listen away....

Paris Fashion Week 2012 = Balenciaga Battles the Pink Robots

All I have to say is Yoshimi, and you should know the rest. 

Her name is Yoshimi
she's a black belt in karate
working for the city
she has to discipline her body

'Cause she knows that
it's demanding
to defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Those evil-natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
she's gotta be strong to fight them
so she's taking lots of vitamins

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

'Cause she knows that
it'd be tragic
if those evil robots win
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots defeat me

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
but you won't let those robots eat me


Yoshimi

Since I am currently exploring the word saccharine within a context that I can relate too, I decided that I might as well add some music that demonstrates "saccharine" qualities. I recently found that Refinery29 has loads of examples of saccharine-ish things, especially music. 


I found Pandr Eyez on Refinery29 the other day and found their description of because "Bird Song" as having a "minimal bongo beat and saccharine synths" quite intriguing. Let me know if you think the bongos are minimal enough, and if the synth really is saccharine...

z

Yet another example of how much Refinery29 loves all things saccharine, is the fact that they did another post on a band that I like AND which apparently demonstrates saccharine qualities. 

Refinery29 hit the saccharine nail on the head by describing Bodies of Water's song "Open Rythms" as having "lilting guitar and saccharine strings". 

                   

I think I put enough sweetener in this blog post for a Starbucks latte, so have a good night.. day.. morning.. Whatever.
