the sun was out, have a relaxing Thanksgiving everyone =D, but remember to go to the gym on Monday. lol and the picture on that video is just the album art, don't get scurd
as much as love contemporary shit, i love ancient shit too.
this is huun-huur tur, they're from Tuva, which is apart of the Russian Federation and boarders Mongolia. the thing is they can throat sing, the throat singing is achieved by layering drones, usually you can hear a distinct "whistle" sound which they can produce if they're very experienced. you can understand it if you watch it. this stuff is cool to me because this kind of stuff shaped contemporary shit we hear now regardless of how you look at it. Buddhist monks kind of do this too, pretty much unlocking the mythic "other" set of vocal chords. their intro is pretty good representation of it, pure voice.
they also say that this type of folk music has shamanistic healing powers, the harmonies they reach together are toooo good. 34:40 is a really cool song, and the one before it at 29:00ish is incredibly rhythmic. various cultural instruments which have legit timbre, from that region of the world especially, that drum is call doshpuulur which means shaman drum, that DBZ looking dude at the end is playing. and you obviously don't need to know what they're saying to be moved by some of this.
anyway, if you like world music and cool harmonies listen, its an hour. i dunno i bet some of you will find the vocals annoying cause of the pitch, but give it a chance. you'll be better for it anyway cause music makes your brain big!
and the audience is pretty nice looking too, go figure California huehue~
saw Shutter Island today, it was good. I'd say go see it.
I don't have that many celebrity crushes, I'm practical, helloooooo. but Leonardo DiCaprio is so f**king sexy. Whatever he eats in the morning, I want. That guy has it for some reason and I will have sex with him from the Titantic to the Beach and we can stop at Shutter Island in the middle then take Revolutionary Road all the way down to Gilbert Grapes house and I'd finish off in fair Verona. In no particular order that is.
other than that, all quiet on this front. quiet before the storm cause my MOMMY leaves in a week and I am alone for TWO WHOLE weeks. Oh I can't wait. I'm getting a boner just thinking about it. Not about my mom or anything like that, just about her leaving and then what I'll do once I am free. I also cannot find a job, and I'm looking which is usually not like me. I'm a lazy boi, but in light of being poor, I must find work. Perhaps I should call one of these online porn companies. I've always wondered about that stuff.
my stoner friends and I also discovered SUPERJAIL the best f**king show known to man now. its on adult swim and its amazing. also Shin chan is on Hulu, this is good news.
Gonna get me one, simplistic and beautiful. love it so much and can't stop hearing it. it'll probably drive me insane that the fact little things like this can make me enjoy stuff like that so much but whatever here you go in text the delerium of the matter:
Not that I'm that hard to Please
but lately when I hit the street
it's hum-de-dum
When the hard times hit
they Hit the biz
The hardest hit make the best of it
Strong dollar stockbroker right to the bottom
Sink down with your boomtown
High water realtors arrive
With numbers over their eyes
Stopwatch hearts
Good God I love the party-starved
businessmen with stopwatch hearts
They don't beat
They tick
They don't beat
they tick
'Round that corner
Down the street
There's a dive where working girls retreat
from their hum-de-dum
So tilt that felt hat to the side
Thrift store 3 for .99
Gonna get me one
Gonna get me one
and Get it every night
Strong dollar stockbroker right to the bottom
Sink down with your boomtown
High water realtors arrive
With numbers over their eyes
Stopwatch hearts
Good God I love the party-starved
businessmen with stopwatch hearts
They don't beat
They don't beat
they tick
they tick
Good God I love the party-starved
businessmen with stopwatch hearts
They don't beat
They don't beat
THEY TICK
So tilt that felt hat to the side
