Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

'The Message'


Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

tUnE-yArDs (that's two videos there). Seems like Kimbra is doing something similar, although tUnE-yArDs seem a little edgier (i.e. preferable) to me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Here is tUnE-yArDs playing live, showing how Merrill creates her drum and vocal loops on stage when performing.

Coincidentally just stumbled on another live-in-the-studio tUnE-yArDs video where you can see how the loops come together: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I'm watching the VH1 Countdown (whatever!), and Gotye is pronounced like Gaultier? I had no idea. Good thing I never said it outloud.

With nearly 10 million views on youtube, I can't pretend to have discovered this, but I suspect most of the views are from Brazil.

The group is called "A Banda Mais Bonita Da Cidade" (the most beautiful band in town) and the song, though quite simple Brazilian pop, is arranged beautifully. And the video! Holy crap! One 6 minute long tracking shot with the audio recorded live as the singer travels through a large house meeting up with different instrumentalists and backing singers in different rooms, ending with a glorious climax. Really, you need to see this!
