Song Share: Aphex Twin / Bright Eyes Mashup

By Martin Gonzalez

So the first time i heard this i was like oh man i must steal it! and then i found out if was free... I still stole it =).
It's two songs from bands I really like and it got a cool video to boot. Jack Conte the guy behind this basically made up some rules for the video that make it kinda fun.
They are as follows:

1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

I think i watched it a few time just to find all the sounds.
So make sure you watch the video and don't just turn it on and go read something else!

Aphex Twin / Bright Eyes Mashup
by Jack Conte



Lyrics ("First Day of my Life" by Bright Eyes):
This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said "this is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy"

So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Song Share: Frontier Psychiatrist

By Martin Gonzalez

And now for something completely different. You know what I was going to try to explain this song and especially this video when I realized something very important. It just isn't possible to explain this. So enjoy!

Frontier Psychiatrist
by Avalanche



I'm not even sure these lyrics are correct but they look close, you'll get what i mean when you listen.

Lyrics:
Is Dexter ill, Is Dexter ill, Is Dexter ill
Is Dexter I'll today, Mr Kirk, Dexter's in school
I'm afraid he's not, Miss Fishborne
Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand
The Baltimore County school board have decided to expel
Dexter from the entire public school system

Oh Mr Kirk, I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter's truancy
But surely, expulsion is not the answer!
I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer
It's the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane

That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic,
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch! What does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Grab a kazoo, let's have a duel
Now when I count three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth

Avalanches is above, business continues below
Did I ever tell you the story about
Cowboys! M-M-midgets, the indians and, Fron, Frontier Psychiatrist
I... I felt strangely hypnotised
I was in another world, a world of 20.000 girls
And milk! Rectangles, to an optometrist, the man with the golden eyeball
And tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin
I promise my girlfriend I'd, the violin, violin, violin ...

Frontier Psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier

That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch, what does that mean?
You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That boy needs therapy
I'm gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Ranagazoo, let's have a tune
Now when I count three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth

Frontier Psychiatrist

Can you think of anything else that talks, other than a person?
A-a a-a-a-a, a bird? Yeah!
Sometimes a parrot talks
Hello hello hello hello
Ha ha ha ha ha !!!!
Yes, some birds are funny when they talk
Can you think of anything else?
Um, a record, record, record !

Song Share: Kathy's Song

By Martin Gonzalez

So originally I wanted to give you a VNV Nation song, but this remix cannot be denied. I know I've already shared a song by Apop but I can't help myself.
I have spent countless hours slaving away to this song it just makes work so much easier when you have a good beat.
I hope you enjoy.

PS: I will bring forth a pure VNV Nation song, I just have to find the right one to share.

Kathy's Song (Victoria Mix By VNV Nation)by Apoptygma Berzerk



Lyrics:
In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form and void.
And darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And God said: 'Let there be light'
And there was light.
And God saw the light that it was good.
And God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light day, and the darkness he called night.
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold... it was good.
And God created man.
And man created machine,
And machine,
Machine created music.
And machine saw everything it had made and said: 'Behold'

Oh my love, it's time
You know how it feels
You read between the lines
You know me better than I do
I lost again, my friend
You know I'm not a saint
You knew it all this time
Still you've been waiting for me here...

Oh my love, it's time
You know how it feels
You read between the lines
And know me better than I do
I'm lost again my friend
You know I'm not a saint
You've known it all this time
Still you've been waiting for me here...

And machine saw everything it had made and said: 'Behold'

Come lie next to me
Know why, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one

(Please) Come lie next to me
Know why, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one...

Come lie next to me
Know why, you and me are one
Come lie next to me
No lies, you and me are one

(You know I'm not a saint...)

You know I'm not a saint...
You know I'm not a saint...

And on the seventh day, the Machine pressed stop...

Song Share: Beds Are Burning

By Martin Gonzalez

Well some of you may recall these guys from back in the day and some may not. For me Midnight Oil has always been one of those bands that I wake one day with a chorus or a line playing over and over in my head. I have fond memories of putting their tape in and just jamming out. For all you youngin's that this thingy. Anyways, these guys are an Aussie band with like 10 axes to grind. They are very political and usually have a message to spread. Oh and fun fact their singer is about one steve tall (that's about 6'5"), he is very good and spreading messages.

Beds Are Burning by Midnight Oil



Lyrics:
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share

The fire will scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
we'r gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

Song Share: Furr

By Martin Gonzalez

These guys are weird the album this is from (same name as the song) came out last year but I only just caught it in like the last month or so. I even played this song for my wife on valentines day(results were so-so, note to self give children drugs beforehand).

Heh so yeah it's pretty much all I've been listening to since then. It's one of those albums were I quickly fell in love with two of the songs (hint another song share coming =>), but the rest just didn't do it for me right away but has slowly grown on me. Anyway whatever these guys have their own youtube channel so feel free to watch all their video's they won't call you pirates.

Blitzen Trapper - Furr




Lyrics:
Yeah, when I was only 17,
I could hear the angels whispering
So I droned into the words and wandered aimlessly about
Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog
It turned out to be the howling of a dog
Or a wolf to be exact, the sound sent shivers down my back
But I was drawn into the pack and before long
They allowed me to join in and sing their song
So from the cliffs and highest hill, yeah
We would gladly get our fill
Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn
And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong
For my flesh had turned to fur, yeah
And my thoughts, they surely were
Turned to instinct and obedience to God.

You can wear your fur
like a river on fire
But you better be sure
if you're makin' God a liar
I'm a rattlesnake, Babe,
I'm like fuel on fire
So if you're gonna' get made,
Don't be afraid of what you've learned

On the day that I turned 23,
I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree
When suddenly a girl with skin the color of a pearl
She wandered aimlessly, but she didn't seem to see
She was listenin' for the angels just like me
So I stood and looked about
I brushed the leaves off of my snout
And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees
You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees
So I took her by the arm
We settled down upon a farm
And raised our children up as gently as you please.

And now my fur has turned to skin
And I've been quickly ushered in
To a world that I confess I do not know
But I still dream of running careless through the snow
An' through the howlin' winds that blow,
Across the ancient distant flow,
It fill our bodies up like water till we know.

You can wear your fur
Like a river on fire
But you better be sure
If you're makin' God a liar
I'm a rattlesnake, Babe,
I'm like fuel on fire
So if you're gonna' get made,
Don't be afraid of what you've learned

Song Share: Wicked Wedding

By Martin Gonzalez

So this is a mashup of Billy Idol's White Wedding and Chris Issak's Wicked Game.

The video isn't that good so I'd suggest just clicking and maybe go emo for 5 minutes and start shoe-gazing, but the song is just too cool.
Beyond just liking the two songs combined the skill that was involved to mesh these two songs together left me a bit awestruck.
DJ Schmolli appears to have slowed White Wedding down to match Wicked Game without changing Billy Idols vocals (or at least to my ear).
Anyway I didn't even notice that the first ten times I listened to it, it took Steve wondering about the speed before I noticed.
To me that is the mark of a true artist when effort to produce a work is not even noticeable (course I could just suck).

So I hope you all enjoy,
Wicked Wedding by DJ Schmolli


Lyrics:
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister whos the only one
Hey little sister whos your superman
Hey little sister whos the one you want
Hey little sister shot gun!
Its a nice day to start again
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
Its a nice day for a white wedding
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you

Hey little sister who is it you're with?
Hey little sister what's your vice and wish?
Hey little sister shot gun (oh yeah)
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister shot gun!
It's a nice day to start again
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
It's a nice day for a white wedding
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
It's a nice day to start again.
[This love is only gonna break your heart]

There is nothin fair in this world, girl
There is nothin safe in this world
And theres nothin sure in this world
And theres nothin pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
It's a nice day to start again
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
It's a nice day for a white wedding
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
It's a nice day to start again.
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
It's a nice day to start again.
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
It's a nice day to start again.
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
Its a nice day for a white wedding
[This love is only gonna break your heart]

Nobody loves no one

Song Share: One Beat

By Martin Gonzalez

One Beat by Sleater-Kinney. Girls Rock, game over!
Yeah sometimes I really enjoy just rocking out and these fine ladies can throw down some serious rock love.
With this track in particular I have many a fond memory of turning around to find I have an audience. A laughing audience.
Oh and for you science freaks this song is about fusion! The power of the future!



Lyrics:
I'm a bubble in a sound wave
A sonic push for energy
Exploding like the sun
A flash of clean light hope
All you scientists can hold your breath
Shall I decide to show myself? Oh oh
If you think like Thomas Edison
Could you invent a world for me
Now all that's on the surface
Are bloody arms and oil fields
Could I turn this place upside down
And shake you and your fossils out? Oh oh
Should I come outside and run your cars
Should I run your rockets to the stars
Could you invent a world for me
I need to hear a symphony
If I'm to run the future
You've got to let the old world go Oh oh
Your word for me is fusion
But is real change an illusion
Could I turn this place all upside down
And shake you and your fossils out
If I'm to run the future
You've got to let the old world go
Could you invent a world for me
I need to hear a symphony Oh oh
