The Storm / Swan Lee
The Storm "Raver"
If you never heard about them,
the Storm is from Denmark.
the Storm is from Denmark.
The singer of Swan Lee and the bassist of MEW had married and formed this band in 2006.
Yes, a gorgeous looking couple indeed.
Swan Lee and MEW were used to be
2 of my favourite danish bands.
2 of my favourite danish bands.
But actually I was not a fan of the Storm before
as it sounded like some dated goth-rock pop.
as it sounded like some dated goth-rock pop.
So, I was not following them for a long time.
Then I heard their latest single the other day and quite liked it.
Nothing special, probably the greatest common denominator pop - but true Scandinavian mainstream pop.
The Storm "My Crown"
(very ABBA-esque)
The Storm "Lost in the Fire"
I still listen Pernille's previous band, Swan Lee from time to time.
Swan Lee "Tomorrow Never Dies"
(Supposed to be featured in the 007 movie...
but didn't happen unfortunately)
Swan Lee "Stay Tonight"
Swan Lee "I Don't Mind"

Ice Choir "Afar"
Quite refreshing but somewhat nostalgic.
Their music reminds me of Tears for Fears..
"A Vision of Hell, 1996"
"Two Rings"

"Take This Waltz"
I'm glad that I didn't miss watching this in a theatre.
Sarah Polley is a very poetic and visual filmmaker,
Michelle Williams was amazing as usual.
I also quite like the styling of MW as well.
So cute.
"Take This Waltz" - Trailer
P.S. This song reverberated in my head for a few days
after watching the movie.
"Green Mountain State"

Lana Del Rey "Blue Velvet"
This is a perfect track for her to cover.
The video looks too Lynch-conscious but well done.
"Blue Velvet"
Actually her music videos were always somewhat Lynch.
Death / Drive / Smoke
"National Anthem"
"Summertime Sadness"
"Blue Jeans"
"Carmen"
Another Lynchy adaptation of LDR.
Trashy but classy, not bad.
I found her so annoyingly overly hype
Another kind of guilty pleasure now.

Fiona Apple "Across the Universe"
I really loved this song and also video.
This beautiful cover and the following album shows
how mighty she was at that time.
All videos were directed by then-boyfriend
Paul Thomas Anderson.
Not fair for her, but I can't stop thinking
what if she was still with him.
"Fast As You Can"
"Paper Bag"
"Limp"
I listened her new album "The Idler Wheel..." last week.
Actually I was not sure what I should expect,
but it sounded surprisingly comforting.
So, I thought she might be in a good state now.
Well, poor Fiona....
September Soundtrack 2: Breakbot
This is maybe more May or June than September.
Very happy pop music, love him.
"Baby I'm Yours feat. Irfane"
I still think this is fxxkin' charming music video..
"Fantasy feat. Ruckazoid"
"One Out Of Two feat. Irfane"
The latter half of this video is very Lynchy.

September Soundtrack 1: Benny Sings
I thought it might not be a bad idea
to fly to Amsterdam and wander around.
It's only because Benny Sings is creating
these beautiful music there.
"Big Brown Eyes"
"Champagne People"

"Home Again"

Electric Guest "mondo"
Eclectic pop duo from L.A. and my recent favourite.
All songs were produced by Danger Mouth,
... well done !
The videos are also pretty amazing.
"This Head I Hold"
"American Daydream"

Esperanza Spalding "Radio Music Society"
Any adjective may sound cheap
when you try to describe her music.

This is a great album.

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing"
A perfect duo sang a perfect song in 1968.
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
"Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing"
I also enjoyed this adaptation of the song.
They got some cool chemistry like Marvin and Tammi.
What do you think?
Beyoncé & Justin Timberlake

"Sound of Noise"
I saw this amazing short film at a film festival before.
It's Swedish ... and I fell in love with these guys.
"Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers" (2001)
And now they are back as a full-length feature film !
I've never been this thrilled for a while.
I've never been this thrilled for a while.
"Sound of Noise" - Movie Trailer
The question is ... when can I see it in Japan?
P.S. I also found this one.
"Music for One X-mas and Six Drummers" (2011)
I really wanna see the 6 drummers live.

"A Single Man" Music by Abel Korzeniowski
This is one of the best soundtrack I've ever heard.
I love the movie, but I'm really haunted by the music.
