Best YouTube Comment I’ve Ever Read!

This is the best comment  have ever read on YouTube:

This song makes me wanna strip naked, burst out of my window, free fall 28 floors, faceplant in the snow. make a snow angel mixed with my own blood, shiver from the cold, get hyperthermia, die, go to the pearly gates, say wazzup to Jesus, do our secret hand shake, look for buddah, have him reincarnate me into a frog, meet a princess, kiss her, turn into a prince, order my subject to bring me a computer, listen to this song again, and cry myself to sleep. Such a good song.

Mike Oldfield – Moonlight Shadow

Lyrics

The last that ever she saw him Carried away by a moonlight shadow He passed on worried and warning Carried away by a moonlight shadow. Lost in a riddle that saturday night Far away on the other side. He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight And she couldn’t find how to push through The trees that whisper in the evening Carried away by a moonlight shadow Sing a song of sorrow and grieving Carried away by a moonlight shadow All she saw was a silhouette of a gun Far away on the other side. He was shot six times by a man on the run And she couldn’t find how to push through I stay I pray I see you in heaven far away I stay I pray I see you in heaven far away Four AM in the morning Carried away by a moonlight shadow I watched your vision forming Carried away by a moonlight shadow Star was light in a silvery night Far away on the other side Will you come to talk to me this night But she couldn’t find how to push through I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away. I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day. Four AM in the morning… I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away. I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day Far away on the other side. Caught in the middle of a hundred and five The night was heavy but the air was alive She couldn’t find how to push through Carried away by a moonlight shadow Carried away by a moonlight shadow …

Yes, I know, I do have great taste in music.

If I Could Turn Back Time…

Hot Chip – One Life Stand – Lyrics, Video and Band Bio

One Life Stand is a fantastic song by Hot Chip, a Grammy-nominated British electro-pop band.

Hot Chip Lyrics “One Life Stand”

Tell me where you’ve been to
Nowhere that you shouldn’t do
Tell me what you’re good for
I can tell you something too
Where have you been staying?
Tell me what you’re playing
Hope it’s not my conscience
But it keeps complaining

Didn’t meet you in an alley
The cats they weren’t complaining
I met you in the daylight
Our visions misbehaving
I offer you my temper
With the hope that you would tame me
We built ourselves a shelter
You will always be my baby

Feeling, keep on feeling, keep on feeling

I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling)
Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling)
Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling)

Wishes keep remaining
Nothing worth containing
A balloon with air is escaping
Is nothing but a plaything
Moments keep us guessing
And lead us from temptation
But better to embrace them
And measure our elation

I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling)
Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling)
Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling)
(Could this be, could this be?)
I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling)
(Could this be, could this be?)
Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling)
(Could this be, could this be?)
I only wanna be your one life stand (Keep on feeling)
(Could this be, could this be?)
Tell me do you stand by your man? (Keep on feeling)

Hot Chip Band Bio

Hot Chip formed in 2000, though members Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard had previously worked together and had been at Elliott School in Putney, London since 1991. In an interview, Goddard jokingly compared early Hot Chip releases to sixth-form poetry with acoustic guitars, although an interest in dance music rhythms and electronic experimentation is present in even the early recordings and releases such as the ‘Mexico EP’. The current line up was completed when occasional collaborators Owen Clarke, Felix Martin and later Al Doyle joined the band full time in 2003.

Coming on Strong
After years of self-releasing records, they signed with Moshi Moshi in 2003 and released their debut LP Coming on Strong in 2004. During this period, they were joined by Felix Martin and Al Doyle. They started working on their second album and signed a UK & US record deal with DFA Records and EMI. DFA and Astralwerks released their debut album for the first time in the US in late 2005.

The Warning
In 2006, Hot Chip released their second album, The Warning. Now signed to EMI in the UK, the band gained more mainstream appeal as well as the attention of critics. The album was shortlisted for the 2006 Nationwide Mercury Prize and was Mixmag’s Album of the Year 2006.[1] This album spawned also two UK top forty singles: “Over and Over” in March 2006 and “Boy from School” in May 2006. “Over and Over” received attention for its music video, which was directed by Nima Nourizadeh, and was also named as the best single of 2006 by British music magazine NME.[2]

Made in the Dark
The band released their third studio album, Made in the Dark, on February 4 2008. The first song to be released from it was “Shake a Fist”, which was released as a limited one-sided 12″ in August 2007. The second release was “Ready For The Floor” in January 2008, which reached number 6 in the UK Singles Chart. In order to promote “Ready for the Floor”, the band appeared on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross in January 2008, and Joe Goddard appeared on Never Mind The Buzzcocks on 31 January. In February 2008, the band performed on the American talk shows Jimmy Kimmel and Carson Daly. On 7 May 2008, the group performed their third single, “One Pure Thought”, on Radio 1′s Live Lounge. The hypnotic clip for “One Pure Thought” was selected as one of the best music videos of 2008 by AllMusic.com.

One Life Stand
Having completed a world tour in February 2009, Hot Chip returned to London and began writing and recording their fourth album, One Life Stand.[3]

In early 2009 Alexis Taylor told NME that the band recorded new songs including “Alley Cats”, which the band played regularly while touring in 2008/2009. Initially, Taylor hinted that the album was going to be “a bit calmer this time” in comparison to Made in the Dark with songs that are “more mid-tempo and disco influenced”, although the two tracks released prior to the album, “Take It In” and “One Life Stand”, suggest that it will be more upbeat than first suggested, and may be more influenced by early house music. [4]. Alongside the regular band members, Hot Chip collaborated on several of the album tracks with the drummer Charles Hayward from This Heat and Camberwell Now, Leo Taylor, drummer from the London based band The Invisible and the Trinidadian steel pan player Fimber Bravo.

One Life Stand was released on February 1st 2010, and Hot Chip have announced a new world tour in 2010.

Nena – 99luft Balons – Video and Meaning of the Song

Popular German track from the 80′s – Nena – 99luft Balons. This was the only popular track for the pop group Lena and her band, and they were consequently dubbed a “one hit wonder”.

This song is apparently based on an actual event, a concert in West Berlin where balloons were released near the Wall. Nena and her band were there, and? given how trigger happy everyone was concerning nukes, she imagined what would happen if a bunch of balloons were mistaken for an attack as they drifted over the East/West frontier.

Crazy Russian Dance Video

Hilarious video of Russian soldiers dancing to “It’s like that”…

As one commenter on youtube said:
“Man this is dam old and? well its clear that the russians are the founders of the beat. “

Michael Jackson – The Legend Lives On

I was hanging out with one of my girlfriends the other day and she has a young boy who is about 10 years old I think. We were just sitting there having a coffee and a chit chat when this young kid comes up and says “Mom I want to be like Michael Jackson – can I get a Michael Jackson costume?”.

I was just blown away, Michael Jackson was an icon of my generation, but sadly I thought he had been almost forgotten in recent years. It seemed the whole world turned their back on him when his life got tough, only to exclaim “Michael was the king of pop!” when he died recently.

I find this attitude troubling, human nature I guess, but still, wouldn’t it have been nice to have shown him how we felt when he was still alive?

Anyway, I couldn’t help myself, I jumped straight online to see if we could find this young man an outfit so he could dress up as his new hero. And low and behold up comes Michael Jackson costumes for kids.

This is going to be one happy kid I can tell you – we ordered right away.

I’m just really happy that the younger generation still love Michael the way some of us always did.
