Keyword

So again, I got nothing to do. It's amazing, eh? I'm at work now and I got nothing to do... so instead of working on my tasks, I browsed around the internet and stupid things came out of my brilliant mind again. Last time I got bored, I typed the word: "smart cow" into Google. Now I typed the word: "Piranha with AIDS" and nothing relevant to my keyword showed up, so I typed another thing that related to Piranha; "Piranha, the dancing slut". Instead of showing Piranha, the dancing slut pic, a pic of 2 dancing gay man showed up. Fine...Because it seems that Piranha is not that easy to find, I typed another keyword: "keyword". Shitload of things came out. I am brilliant.

Little Joy - the album review



It's an album review but don't expect that I'm gonna talk about the technique or shit like that, I will only talk about my personal opinion about Little Joy and their self titled album. First of all, this is what Wikipedia told me about Little Joy:
Little Joy is a Brazilian/American rock band formed in 2007 by Los Hermanos singer/guitarist Rodrigo Amarante, The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti and Binki Shapiro.
Their eponymous debut album was recorded with the help of producer Noah Georgeson and engineer Beau Raymond, whom Amarante met during his sessions with Devendra Banhart. It was released by Rough Trade Records on November 4, 2008, and was hailed by Pitchfork Media as "one of the sweetest, most listenable, consistently enjoyable records of the season." [2] Their debut album was given four stars by Rolling Stone magazine and Nick Hornby[3] voted it his favourite album of 2008.
How fucking cool is that? I don't really listen to Los Hermanos but I love the Strokes. I don't know who Noah Georgeson is but the man got a Wikipedia page so he must be something. I don't know why they name the band Little Joy but at least it's better than Little Fucker, no? And about the album, here's the track list:

  1. "The Next Time Around" (Amarante/Moretti) - 2:35
  2. "Brand New Start" (Moretti) - 3:05
  3. "Play the Part" (Amarante/Moretti/Shapiro) - 2:57
  4. "No One's Better Sake" (Moretti) - 2:51
  5. "Unattainable" (Moretti/Shapiro) - 2:00
  6. "Shoulder to Shoulder" (Amarante/Moretti) - 2:37
  7. "With Strangers" (Amarante/Moretti) - 2:49
  8. "Keep Me in Mind" (Amarante/Moretti) - 2:22
  9. "How to Hang a Warhol" (Amarante/Moretti/Shapiro) - 2:07
  10. "Don't Watch Me Dancing" (Amarante/Moretti/Shapiro) - 3:33
  11. "Evaporar" (Amarante) - 3:52

The songs remind me of She & Him's songs, they sound so indie. The album is mostly slow tunes, if you want to be sentimentil or shit like that, you can try some slow tunes like Shoulder to Shoulder, Don't Watch me Dancing , Play the Part, Evaporar and Unattainable. But they also got some pretty catchy tunes like The Next time around and Brand New Start. Here you will find couple songs with some Latinos lines in it (even the entire lyric of Evaporar is in Latin). One of the best song in here is Unattainable, it is also featured in Whip it! soundtrack (nice soundtrack, btw). Most songs here are basically delicious-at-ear kind of song with simple tunes and nice lyric. I'm gonna give it 4 out of 5 stars. I was actually gonna say lots about this when I first decided to post them, but suddenly my brain stop working, so yeah... that's basically what I can say about this album. (I bet this is probably like one of the worst album review you have ever read.. and I don't give any shit about that.)

Because I'm such an angel, I'm gonna include a link to download the album.
