We Need To Talk About Kevin





Get psyched for this movie. It currently has a 95 on rottentomatoes and it should be coming to an artsy-fartsy theater theater near you. I'm excited about it mainly because I had the chance to be an extra in the climax night scene at the high school! Now these trailers are not very good/ don't give you any clue what the plot is about, but definitely go out and support it!

The Swell Season Trailer (ft. Colm Mac Con Iomaire)



This one is a triple delight for those movie/ music fans out there:
1. The Swell Season the name of the good mellow indie band formed by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova which this doc is about.
2. Both Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova met on the set of Once (one of my absolute favorite love story movies) and fell in love!
3. Colm Mac Con Iomaire (a Mad World favorite) is featured right in the beginning of the trailer... because he is also a member of The Swell Season!

And as a bonus- watch Swell Season cover Neutral Milk Hotel's 'Two Headed Boy' below

Mindblowing Solo Piano Phase- Steve Reich



If your mind is not on the floor, something is wrong-- well maybe I should explain why mine is. The piece is called Piano Phase and written by minimalist composer Steve Reich. Usually 2 pianists play the exact same 12 note melody over and over (for 50ish minutes I think)while they slowly become un-synched. This is really really REALLY hard as it is, but when you are out phasing yourself, well.......

I Could Have Married Kate- Barbershopera


Hey followers, this here is a video put out by my British cousin's musical acapella barbershop comedy troupe playing on (or close to) London's West End. (He's the first one to have a verse.) They sing about their collective dismay concerning the looming royal wedding-- it's quite funny and really well done, go look up some of the other stuff they've done!

COLM MAC CON IOMAIRE!



Colm Mac Con Iomaire - Blue Shoes (Bróga Gorma) by the ruckus

(Emer's Dream and Blue Shoes are the most popular and possibly among the best songs on the album.)

Do you have that playlist or artist that you can always listen to if you need to chill/zone-out/relax or fall asleep to?  Well, Colm Mac Con Iomaire is mine.  I realized today, while listening to them (him?) on the way back to school, that even though I've loved Colm since before I started Mad World, I've never posted any stuff of theirs.

Colm Mac has everything from Violin and Acoustic Guitar to Drums, Whistling, and Processed Violin/Viola.  I implore you to CHECK OUT THIS BAND and buy their album on itunes! It is definitely worth it-  I'd be surprised if you didn't like it.

FREE MOVIE OF THE WEEK

That's right, my one recurring segment is back after a long break. This week the show is Oscar Best Picture winning How Green Was My Valley.  I won't be able to articulate the greatness of the story and family dynamic, so if you are interested look up a real review. There you go.

RUBBER: The Movie


For some reason this movie seems very interesting. Watch the trailer for yourself and think about it. The visual style is what probably brought me in along with its oddball concept. Also the score is by Mr. Ozio (Monsieur Wah- Zo) a famous French Electro dude who is friends with Justice- pretty cool.

Gold Dust (Flux Pavilion Remix)- DJ Fresh


This is one of the best/funkiest dubstep songs in a while and you should be a fan of this one if you like dub, but don't enjoy that "machiney" noise of a drop.

Brap!- Bart B More



Just wait for the drop.

Get it here.

Hit Em Up Style- Carolina Chocolate Drops


THIS SONG BLEW ME AWAY. I was not expecting such a soulful/ beat-tastic tune from a band with a fairly silly band title.  If you enjoy the music from O Brother, Where Art Thou? (which you should) then you will enjoy this thoroughly.

Also, this is a far cry from most of the music I post here, but good music can transcend genre.
Enjoy- Mad Max
