OH, you make me wanna listen to music again!
Recently, life has been a tad complicated, and music has helped me stay awake and get through it. My friend also constantly insulted my musical taste (ironically, he has NO idea what I listen to), so I was determined to expand my musical palate. I have a 32 gig MP3 player to fill, and I previously only had about 10GB of music. Compared to most people, that’s not a lot at all! So, I decided to look for more music I like. Coincidentally, Scott Pilgrim came out around the same time, which made my search a little easier. My two favorite songs, by far, are “Scott Pilgrim” by Plumtree and “Black Sheep” by Metric.
Scott Pilgrim
Black Sheep
There are two versions of Black Sheep- one is the original, and there is a second version that you hear during the movie. I personally like the original and will be spamming my favorite karaoke spot until they add the song.
Besides movie soundtracks, I also found this song by MSTRKRFT interesting. Thanks to John Legend for making it sound ultra-awesome.
Heartbreaker
That’s not the official video, it’s a game called Audiosurf.
AND DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON CALVIN HARRIS. He is hilariously awesome. I love him.
You Used to Hold Me
Besides these four songs, I also found a site called Stereogum that will help me keep track of bands and musicians that appeal to me. It’s a pretty cool place that also features new track releases and free downloads.
Next, I’ll have to once again refine my fashion sense and find my way to some concerts.
OH JOY.
