Bettens - "Waving at the Sun"

Brother and sister from K's Choice, yes indeed. Some songs... rather, those with lyrics, are so-so.
  • We Are Glaciers - an almost Morphinish, GY!BE buildup of sound! Unexpected...
  • Away, more increased flooding of instruments
  • Daydream - a little diamond, instrumental, piano.
  • Whiteout - another instrumental diamond.
  • Hell Like Heaven - ugh! skip! skip! skip!

Mark Lanegan - "Imitations"

Covers by the silk 'n silly voice (silly := good, remember that, peoples)
  • You Only Live Twice - strange, because it is so recognizable yet has lost a bit of the shazzle of typical James Bond songs (the girly voice, the strings). Interesting. In a good way, not British, sorry Ian.
  • Pretty Colors - who did the original? Nice. (Oh, mr Sinatra ey...ugh! it - the original - has horrible backing vocals)
  • Autumn Leaves - oh... no no no no! I love this song! Remember the Coldcut version?! Mark, oh Mark, why did you have to make it into some silly waltz??

Trentemöller - "Lost"

A very soft, low-key album. Might be good for writing...

  • The Dream - smokey
  • Come Undone (feat Kazu Makino) - repetitive and dreamlike 
  • Constantinople - (Istanbuuuuul!) energetic 
  • Haze - piano false, very film score

Star Trek - Into Darkness

Enjoyable, though plotholable and ... well, it was good for a tired Saturday night.
