Listened to Magnetic Fields today on the way to dim sum, "69 Love Songs" is one of my most favorite albums.
Finally got a chance to listen to The XX (suggested by Ricky). The music is great but I especially love the music video for the song "Islands" take a gander here.
As instrumentals go, "Last Carnival" is wonderful. Composed by Norihiro Tsuru, the music just speaks to you, eerily haunting at some points.
And I've heard this song almost EVERYWHERE for, what seems like, forever. It was even on Gossip Girl I think. I feel like everyone knows this song, except for me until today! I've had it stuck in my head most of the day, good job MGMT for "Kids".
Side note: I still don't know how to punctuate a sentence that ends with quotations, before or after the quote? I'm going to risk it today, just for the hell of it, after the quote it is.
There's still this one song that I can't remember exactly. It's used in a lot of movie soundtracks, very dramatic (sounding -- if that make sense). We even had it in one of our APAC videos back in 2007, but the video was muted by YouTube so I can't figure out which song it is. It's one of those songs that just makes you tear up when you hear it, or at least I always get misty when it's played. I suppose the journey continues as I try to figure out which song is stuck in my head -- with no melody, no tune, no lyrics, and basically no sound. Maybe I'll stumble upon some more great finds in music tonight, here's hoping.
