All In A Week's Work - 01/14/10

Back from my very first RV tradeshow (never thought I'd type those words ever...) and it kicked my ass.
BEFORE SHOW:


AFTER SHOW:

Yeah. Not so much.

I have consequently slept over 26 hours this weekend and listened to music (as well as introduce Jiggy to the wonder that is "Labyrinth." How someone can get to the age of 20 and never understand the magic that is David Bowie in tights and yell "LUDOOOOOOOOOOO!" is beyond me...) and tried to find new stuff seeing as I have been a SLACKER since the year started with this blog. I have also not been able to get Tribe's "Hot Sex" and Adele's "Make You Feel My Love" out of my head but that's another story entirely...and just to give you an idea of the guys I was working with here's visual representation:



So, seeing as it's past midnight, here goes:

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
Helloooooooo Felt (aka Murs and Slug). Good...effing...lord...
Felt - Chewed Up

I am entirely bummed that this album came out last spring and I only just found it now but I've always held a soft spot for General Elektriks. Plus they're just badass...
General Elektriks - Little Lady

And to introduce you to them if you didn't already know...
General Elektriks - Facing That Void
General Elektriks - Take You Out Tonight (anyone else hear Harry Nilsson's influence here????)

This makes me want it to be 85 degrees outside instead of pissing down with the rain. Fuck you winter.
Georgia & Declaime - Endure (EthNick Remix)

While waiting for the new MIA album here's her new single (including video). Producer on this? Rusko - my dubstep crush.
MIA - Space Odyssey



Random:
Blondes - You Mean So Much To Me (Acid Redux)

Aaaaaaaaand finally, this song was playing constantly on Sirius when I moved to ATL and, hopefully not meaning to piss me off my San Francisco/California friends, I'll be posting it now. I can't help it. Regardless of the lyrics you can't help but sing along:
Wild Light - California On My Mind

All In A Week's Work 01/10/10 - Throwback Edition

An otherwise quiet weekend was injected with a bit of fun by me setting my hair on fire this morning with the propane lamps outside. I'd watched my dad turn them on a bunch of times, tried to figure it out, hit the gas button, lit the barbeque lighter and then it backfired...a huge flame came out of the lamp, lit my hair and wrecked the lower two inches of all of it, not to mention some of the hair on the top of my head. I've been followed by the smell of burned hair all day.

Now that you're done laughing at me I also happened to notice my brother playing "Fallout 3" yesterday because of the soundtrack that was blaring out of his TV. An alternate universe in which nuclear fallout has created messed up enemies you're supposed to shoot at, the hits of the day consisted of 1930s/1940s music that has been stuck in mine and my brother's head all weekend, leading us to break out into lines of "I don't want to set the world on fiiiiiiiiiire" at inopportune times. And so I ask you to join me in my pain because believe me, once you listen to this song it will NOT get out of your head...(I've also thrown some other goodies that appear within the game and songs that I just plain old love :D)

The Ink Spots - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire
Billie Holiday - Crazy He Calls Me
Billie Holiday - Lover Man Oh Where Can You Be
Ella Fitzgerald - Sunshine Of Your Love
Louis Armstrong - A Kiss To Build A Dream On
Nat King Cole - When I Fall In Love
