Rebelution - "Too Rude" (Bright Side Of Life)

Nice reggae song.

Heard some other stuff by them today. It's pretty similar so maybe it'll get boring after a while, but good every now and then.

Imogen Heap - "Aha" (Ellipse)

First I thought this was Tori Amos, judging by her voice and the way she used it.

But there's a rickety-jumping-dancing quality to it that Tori Amos doesn't have.

Great song.

Wax Tailor - "Fireflies (Instrumental)" (In The Mood For Life)

instrumental, triphop, pretty nice.

G-Spliff - "Viego Abasto (Cobbled Street Mix)" (Frequent Flyer: Buenos Aires)

slow, triphop, accordeon, latin-influences, slightly jazzy

Lovage - "Stroker Ace" (Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By)

Monsieur Dan, can I come with you
As you both look awfully kind
Sadly he and me are through
Let me tell you what I've got in mind

I'll sing to you my mewing charm
Looks like you both could use a pet
And purr my purr all night long
I think a pussy's your best bet

Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that, it's a start
Only for the wild at heart

Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking's what it's all about

My tail alone could tell you tales
It's got a life all of its own
Watch it move just like a sail
Sail you to the twilight zone

I love to lap a spot cream
And I assure you that I'm neat
But you never know what you can expect
When the pussy is in heat

Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that, it's a start
Only for the wild at heart

Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking's what it's all about

I like to watch, if you don't mind
Every sphinx knows how to pass the time
Your little love nest suits me well
Let me show you how to cast a spell

Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that it's a start
Only for the wild at heart

Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking is the antidote
Stroke that shiny coat
Stroking's what it's all about

Arcade Fire - "Deep Blue"

Here
Are my place and time
And here in my own skin
I can finally begin
Let the century pass me by
Standing under night sky
Tomorrow means nothing

[...]

Hey
Put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey
Put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

Following (Chris Nolan, 1998)

Intriguing enough film, black and white, of a guy who starts following random people, and get caught up in a devious triangle of love, murder and break-and-enter (god I should be blurb-writer).

Not amazing, but fun enough.

Obvious sign there wasn't much money: common background noise, all the time.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - "Don't Come Around Here No More"

Amusing enough song, the clip (Alice In Wonderland style) is pretty ok.
