Chase Holfelder - "Major to Minor"

He sounds like that guy from Starsailor. The minor version of Star Spangled Banner is quite gripping.

Billy Talent - "The Dead Can't Testify"

Pretty horrible yet happy-go-jumpy rock song, found via http://8tracks.com/toxicconspiracy/zombies

Harlan Ellison - "Dangerous Visions"



  • Harlan Ellison - "The Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World" : a dark tale of Jack the Killer in a clean, sterile City of the future. The killer in us. Good.

Orphan Black (2013-2014)

First two seasons about cloned sisters. It's okay but nothing special. Completely slept through a few episodes and cannot say I minded much.

Frozen (2013)

Very meh. Ice and crystal animations are nice, but the story is mediocre and the songs sometimes plain boring.

The Married Monk - "Bird on board" (The Belgian Kick)

Came across this band because of member Etienne Jaumet.

This song is parlando, long stretches of music with a woman's voice half-speaking half-whispering. Quite cool.

Oldboy (2003)

Have I ever seen it? Cannot remember. Hard, impressive film. Should watch it again, but not too soon.

Paranoia (2014)

Ugh. Not a good cyber thriller, not a good thriller, not a good anything.

the Family Crest - "Beneath the Brine"

Amazing song, but mostly because of the Coachella clip

Guardians of the Galaxy

Fun film. Good combination of 80's with scifi. They must've really considered how to put these together.

Under the skin

Scarlet Johannsen.. strange movie. Alien in Scotland. She seduces men. Amazing scenes where they walk into ink black water and drown while she is walking on the water without a ripple.

There is a story idea there.

Ending not too strong, but impressive how this movie was made without an obvious Hollywood touch.

Hoffmaestro - "Hoffmaestro"

Crazy punky Swedish "skank-a-troncpunkadelica"

Crazy fun. Good stuffs.

Poppy Ackroyd - "Feathers"

Instrumental, violins, strings and piano.

A bit light. Quite good.

Pye Corner Audio - "Black Mill Tapes vol 1"

Good electronic soundscapes.

Flug 8 - "Mr. Ito"

Strange electro music with whoob whoob effects. Good for writing? Who knows.

Forbrydelsen (The Killing)

Now in season 3. Season 1 was cool but a bit too long with 20 episodes. Season 2 was great with only 10, kept the pace and us on the edge of our seat. Three seems just as promising.

Interstellar (2014)

First half was impressive and beautiful, with some beautifully harsh moments, both in acting as well as in music and scenes.

The part where he leaves her behind, to fall into the event horizon... well, the fact he does so, is fine. It would make for a good ending (his daughter always angry even though he saved humanity, &etc). But that tesseract 5D part? The ending? Fleb flep.
