The play list this week is going to be of "Songs easily to misuse" in a Music Supervision standpoint. Mostly obvious lyrics that could be easily put into obvious situations, which would almost ruin the content of the song, but also sounds that could be misused. This whole play list, unlike others, is going to be of songs only from this year.
I know it's a little late seeing that the album came out in , but Fol Chen's album keeps coming up, so I must now take it seriously. The album "Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune's Made" is about as serious as the title, but delves out some serious kiddy sounds. It's like if the kinder-music groups got some serious lyrics, and looked at a market much older. I'm enjoy the stuff I've found online (such as the video below) but I've found their live performances to sound more interesting.
Epically "wedding cake" live. It's gotta be like 20x better. Now if only I could find a good sound quality recording.

The Eighty-th Day.
My last post on St. Vincent was very un-expansive, so I decided to post about here again; partly because she's all I listen too until the album gets kicked off of first listen (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103138882) and partly because I feel as a reader you deserve more about it.
Top Notch songs
- Strangers
- Marrow
- Actor out of Work
All three songs feature some awesome beat.
Strangers have the pounding bass behind so very airy sounds on top of it, and a surprising lack of hard guitar.
Marrow brings in that hard guitar and backed by a disco beat.
Actor Out of Work is the most addicting song on the album, I listen to it at least twice as much as any other song off the album (except for maybe Marrow). The charm of the song comes from it's again hard hitting drums, and brilliant horn sounds that awkwardly break up the song while progressing it (contradicting, I know). The lightness of Annie Clark's easily over-powering voice on this track gives way to the technical sounds, as well as the moments of chaos.
Back to the fact that this is an album of pieces. Though pieces, they all seem to come from a happier Annie Clark, not that she was ever unhappy, but IS undeniable that she LOOKS happier. Check out the new album cover and compare it to Marry Me's cover. Though the live shows may not show it, something still has changed from the DUMBO Sessions (widely accessible on You Tube) to her more recent performances. It might just be the hair, though it is completely necessary that someone that shares hare with Little Orphan Annie (and a name) should look so happy.
St. Vincent is now in her Daddy Warbucks stage and past the orphanage.

The Seventy-Eighth Day.
So St. Vincent's album is an album of singles. Each song is unique to it's self and much more enjoyable that way.
This year (so far) has seemed to be an album of a whole, maybe "Actor" will bring about some fantastic albums of pieces.
I love the album already. I'm gonna listen to it for free as long as I can, and then buy it at the very moment it comes out on May 5th. Good job St. Vincent, hope to see you sometime over the summer live.

Banter. Visual Entertaining.
That's exactly what Tiga's video for his song "Shoes" sums up.
Great, simplistic, but also witty banter for two complete characters, with cool visual effects.
