California Dreamin'

I've been listening to the Forrest Gump Soundtrack recently. Good stuff, good stuff.

I had this song by The Mamas and the Papas on repeat for a bit, and I came to the conclusion that this would be an AWESOME song performed by a choir. I hope our alma mater chooses it for their winter concert one year. We had such a good choir at our high school!

But I naturally turned to Youtube in search of instant gratification. This was probably one of the best ones I listened to. They sing it in a key higher than normal but they have great voices. Could do without the claps though.

Look it up now!

Nosaj Thing
Album- Drift or pretty much anything he does.

IOIO, 1665/Bach, and voices in particular.

Put on headphones, play it loud. Dark electro that swallows you whole.

to contast the last post: thrashy, bashy, and downright trashy

i'll never be able to call a song "filthy" without feeling utterly ridiculous
but, you get the idea.

Absolutely perfect rain music.

"how will you meet your end" and "hey preacher" are both just freaking wonderful, but I haven't heard a bad one yet. they're all good.
