Breaking into song without reason

June 8th, 2010

The other night I was watching “Family Guy” and it was a re-run of the toad episode. During the episode “Lando” breaks into a song to convince the kids to quit doing toad.

The video reminded me of other great songs that spontaneously happen.

And of course the post wouldn’t be complete if I failed to mention this video

Summer 2010 Mix

June 1st, 2010

Album Cover Summer 2010

Memorial Day weekend is over and Summer officially started! It is time to celebrate with another mix. You can get it here.

This year the mix features a couple of songs that Jenna (my lovely wife) introduced me to. Also the mix is to celebrate the start of this new blog which will continue the kind of posts I wrote for “Wasted Talent”.

Now here are some details about the album and the cover picture. The picture was taken during our recent vacation in Thailand and I used Photoshop to make it look like it was taken with a Lomo. I will post a link to the tutorial later when I do a post about Lomography.

Here is the track-list for the album:

  1. Arcade Fire – Month of May
  2. Stevie Wonder – Living for the City
  3. Arcade Fire – Rebellion (Lies)
  4. Fleet Foxes – White Winter Hymnal (Twelves Remix)
  5. New Young Pony Club – Oh Cherie
  6. Fleetwod Mac – Go Your Own Way
  7. Coeur de Pirate – Comme Des Enfants (Le Matos Andy Carmichael Remix)
