Pop is Good

In an eternal quest to remind people to "keep it casual," I feel as if part of that should be to remind people that it is okay to have fun.  This is pop, don't freak.  They're in Australia, don't freak.  Our lives are too short to be serious all of the time.  The band is Bag Raiders.  The song is "Sunight."


Bag Raiders - 'Sunlight' from Modular People on Vimeo.

Hey everybody, this guy did a little piece on his modular synth which was inspired by Kraftwerk's "Franz Schubert," which happens to by my favorite Kraftwerk piece.  Monofon has again reminded us that you don't need much in the way of equipment to create beautiful music; just a few pieces of analog will do.

Thank you gents, thank you.  Moog Little Phatty spotted with no guitar in sight.

John Foxx is Back

John Foxx has some interesting things to say about electronic music and the tools which are used in its creation.  He also has some new tunes due out March 21st, 2011.

Mirrors - Ways To An End

A young Kraftwerk?  Everybody must surely acknowledge that they love it.  I just heard of these guys tonight, and I LOVE it.

Treasure

Has anybody purchased any of Roger O'Donnell's (formerly of The Cure) solo stuff?  This tune is 5 years old, but here at Ohm's Law, we do not discriminate based on age.

Northern Labour Party - Just One More Night

I'm not sure if anybody is familair with the subject matter of this song.  If people don't know what it is about, I honestly prefer they don't find out, as it is based on a true story; a story which is too sad to discuss.  I hope that everytime NLP plays this song, they connect somehow to the individual who this song is about.  I never met that person, but eventually I will in some fashion.

This is not an official video for the song.  However, I like the fact the video uses images of the cosmos, as it is the great linkage in the sky which connects all lifeforms.  In a world dominated by endless distractions of a digital nature (iphones, ipods, ipads, itouches, idontcares), humans have stopped looking up in an attempt to discover their origins.  I do not speak of finding religion, I speak of binding oneself back to the universe.

Listen to this song and remember that how ever bad things may seem, we need to be grateful for how good we have it.
