Squashed #5- Blues meets electronica/experimental

it's 0300 in the morning and i am bummed out.

oh how i hate result nights for American Idol!I've never been a huge fan, but this season's peeps are utterly amazing - watch it to believe it!darn im a sucker for it now, and two of my fave personalities just got the boot. boohoo. gbye, danny & asia'h.

"alright now, that is enough. now show me the music."

uhh.

on a bright note, here are a couple of performances i really enjoyed this season that are eternally etched in my goldfish memory.




David Archuleta may be 17, but he sure sings with alotta soul. that performance really moved.




100% rocker-chick approved, David Cook!

That's A.I./blues for you!To complete the post tonight, we've got some Cyanide Valentine with some pretty good chillout electronica. Sorta stumbled upon them earlier in the day while i was idling about, and much as most electro-music makes me froth at my mouth, Cyanide Valentine is, surprisingly (to my delight), quite a gem. A couple of songs off their album reminds me a lil of the Prodigy, & the downtempo ones make for really great company in the night. Some sound somewhat futuristic, some sound slightly freaky, some just plain indie & laidback & bluey - but overall an excellent mix of different sounds. Unexpected, refreshing. i like it. I like how spacey it makes me feel. Spacey like a)the experience of vastness of space & b)the state of being spaced out. Seriously!

Best thing is : You can get the album here - for free! Generous lot they are. It's definitely worth a listen. Thanks much Cyanide! Great stuff.

All the lagging while loading this post is making me sleepy.yawn.yeah i believe Bed's calling out to me.

Passes out.
