Seven Trackzor

I’m not going to post the instructions in that I basically have to post seven songs that I’m really into as of now. Just like the Friday Fives (and I’ll get back to them eventually, as work currently gives me no time for meandering anymore) I’ll be posting them like a countdown.

5. “Shrine to Fast Goodbyes” – Emily Haines

I actually woke up with this song in my head this morning. The version that I have on my computer is a bootleg copy from one of Emily’s solo shows. Normally I find Emily’s music to sound quite drab and rigid – and this is honestly in a good way – but this one song has a more upbeat sound to it. Really, I’d consider it a ballad of sorts, but I really do love the lyrics she’s penned.

4. “It’s Been A While Since I Was Your Man” – Matthew Good

Matt doesn’t sing too often about relationship-related issues, but really, anything that comes from him is just as good. I suppose the best part about it, though, is that when he does write about relationships, they’re more than just sad and hopeless. They’re written to supreme perfection, and this particular song is really one of my favorites from White Light Rock & Roll Review.

3. “Disco Blackout” – controller.controller

I find that controller.controller is one of those bands that takes a while to actually get into. Because I had some tracks lingering around, though, I managed to play them enough times to get hooked to the riffs. This song is from their first EP, titled History, and is really my favorite track from it. It’s fast and you can dance to it, and Nirmala’s voice isn’t girlish or hard; it’s just supreme and edgy. I think that’s really all you need.

2. “Work On You” – MSTRKRFT

Although MSTRKRFT is only half the master copy of DFA1979, what Jesse Keeler and his new buddy, Al P., have created is really quite intriguing. This is the opening track to their first album for the dance community, The Looks, and is my absolute favorite MSTRKRFT song. The beats are strong and they go through the whole song. Plus it’s got that whole Speak & Spell vibe to it, enhanced. It’s no “Satisfaction”, folks.

1. “Baby Blues” – The Stills

Honestly, I can’t listen to Without Feathers without listening to this song six or seven times. Although this song does hold a lot of significant meaning to me, I really think that the sole reason that I fell in love with it was because of Emily Haines had the vocals backed to a T. The lyrics, as well, are also perfect in that even I would think about quoting them in a homemade macaroni card.

True Audio Intercourse

I suppose the whole music vibrator revelation isn’t a new introduction to the music world, but really, after I discovered the OhMiBod today, I’ve realized that music and sex doesn’t have to be as cheesy as it seems. (Really, I was much of a quiet girl myself, but you know, having this around would have made my fourteen hour flight to The Philippines the lest bit enjoyable.)

What’s great about the OhMiBod, though, is that you don’t need an ipod to use it. Even the old-fashioned walkman would be able to satisfy your needs. It’s not only music, though. You could plug it into your computer, your television, into your car radio (although that probably wouldn’t be the best idea), anything that has a headphone jack. Even still, it comes with an attachment that would allow you to use it as just a normal vibrator.

At one point in time, my best friend Heather and I used to joke about how orgasmic the Death From Above 1979 song, “Sexy Results” was. Really, though, having the OhMiBod to enhance it, well, listening to it would result in some sexy results, indeed.

Saving my money…

Romantic Rights No More

Really, it was pretty damn depressing to come across this, but one of my favorite Canadian bands, the great Death From Above 1979, have officially announced their untimely demise.

Heather, if you were with me, I would hold you and we could cry together.
