Not a lot to say for myself.

Mood Board, 10 April 2005

This week's media consumption:

  • The standout tune for the week has been "Signal Crossing" by Dykehouse. The song is all swirly and dreamy and atmospheric, with a sound very reminiscent of something coming out of the UK in the mid-80s. Some have invited comparisons to The Jesus and Mary Chain, or Echo and The Bunnymen -- I won't disagree. You can download it for free here.
  • Also gave the CD Loops from the Bergerie by Swayzak a couple listens. I picked the disc up sometime in February, I think. By far (in my my mind) the standout track on the disc is "Speakeasy", a swaggering bit of Electro with a wicked fat synth line and a terrific schaeffel beat. There's a Motorola TV commercial that uses the song. You can also download an earlier tune by Swayzak from Epitonic.
  • Am also still really liking the LCD Soundsystem disc that appeared on the board a couple weeks back.
  • Saw the movie Ocean's 12. It was sufficiently entertaining. I never saw Ocean's 11, and it didn't seem to matter.
