Artist: F.I.R
Title: 1234567
Description: Taken off their latest album - Flight Tribe. So far no distinctively outstanding song, except for this one which is just so..... insanely happy. In a jazzy, big-band, salsa sorta way (think plenty of keyboard, saxophone, and crack). *bounces around* Oh and do look out for Ian's keyboard solo around the 2:44 minute. ^^
Artist: Jolin Tsai
Title: Tian Kong
Description: I don't know why I keep posting her songs up week after week, despite continuously asserting my dislike for the woman. =.= It's good mellow Chinese pop stuff ler; good for roping in visitors to the site I reckon. :D
Artist: TANK
Title: Gei Wo Ni De Ai
Description: I think tis one of the karaoked-to-death songs as well.
Artist: Quruli x RIP SLYME
Title: Juice
Description: Waaaaaaa why didn't anyone think of this ingenious collaboration before! >.< Quruli being the funky, laidback, instrument-backed piece that they are; and the Rippers being the funky, laidback, harmonizing/rapping bois. And the result
Artist: m-flo loves Emi Hinouchi & Ryohei
Title: Summer Time Love
Description: Every bit as summer-y as the title goes. ^^ Gives mental images of pina colada with tiny umbrellas, bright prints beach shorts and gleaming male abs bathed in sunlight and sea breeze. Sigh.
Artist: Dir en Grey
Title: Ryojoku no Ame
Description: TEH BOYS ARE BACK, WAHAHAHAHAHA! And when I mean back, I mean returning with their music sense - which had been on hiatus, given their past couple of loud, thrashy, scream-fest singles. (- -") I still think their Kisou and Macabre albums were their best works, then it kinda went downhill from there.... although there were a few good songs along the way. Had almost given up on them until this one came along.... and suddenly there's hope for the band again. T.T Dark, haunting melody, thrifty use of powerchords and effects, and Kyo doesn't scream throughout the whole song - but when he does, it's apparent he hasn't lost it. Ahh welcome back Kaoru-tachi. >.< !!
Artist: Dir en Grey
Title: The Final (live)
Description: One of my all-time favs - the one that sucked me into the whole Diru warp in the first place. ._. This one of the side-b tracks of the single btw, and.... well what can I say, who doesn't know this track really. I personally prefer the album version though. But, likewise with all their live tracks, this one has greater emotional intensity... courtesy of Kyo-chan, needless to say.
Artist: Stone Temple Pilots
Title: Plush
Description: Yeeeehh, and we be back to old skool grunge! (/>___<)/ I got hooked on this song after watching one of the contestants of Rockstar:Supernova (Magni, the bald and deliciously smexy Icelander) delivering a kickass performance of it during Week 3. STP is larve, oh.
Artist: Muse
Title: Supermassive Black Hole
Description: But then Muse pops up and beats everyone hands down, HOHO. Fckin fckin stupendously outrageously killer song. I'm speechless, really - just download it, you have HAAAAVE to.
Artist: Muse
Title: Soldier's Poem
Description: And in honour of Matt Bellamy the Gifted, here's a winding down number - also taken from the same album - to highlight his versatility in songwriting and singing and merely existing in this world. For some reason though, this song reminds me of some famous Elvis track. Strange indeed.
Artist: Live
Title: I Alone
Description: I'm in my old school rock revival phase, so there. ha ha.
Artist: Incubus
Title: Talk Show on Mute
Description: Because I only finished downloading this album about half hour ago, and I fell in love Brandon Boyd all over again after watching their Live in Red Rocks gig a couple of days ago. ^^V Not that I've ever been out of love with him, of course - but you know, a renewed and deeper emotional bond (I believe they call it lust in certain countries).
Artist: Orson
Title: No Tomorrow
Description: I've been hunting all over for this song, until I finally found out who the band was about a week ago hur hur. Absolute Larve - it's like a combination of Better Than Ezra and Bodyrockers, on plenty of crack.
Artist: Jamiroquai
Title: (Don't) Give Hate a Chance
Description: SO MUCH FUNK, OH! SO MUCH DISCO IN MOTION, OH! SO MUCH JAY-KAY ATTITUDE OOZING FROM THIS ONE, OH! Only Jamiroquai can pull off so much gawdy synths with such class.
