Since I Wanted To Use My New Michael Jackson Icon...
It's sad that Michael Jackson passed away before he could make his comeback. However, his spirit and music remains to thrive and lives. On a brighter note, just to keep this blog running, here's a mix of songs that I've been liking a lot these past few days.
01 Regina Spektor - "Folding Chair"
A song from Spektor's latest effort, Far, "Folding Chair" is a gem. It's a sunny tune great for summertime pop. The song is very catchy and is deserving of a few plays every other day.
02 Michael Jackson - "Beat It"
Michael Jackson's death resulted with many saddened fans, celebration of his work, and remarks about his life. In a way, his death made everyone realize how special Jackson was and how brilliant his music is. In an age where downloading the torrent beats the option of buying the actual CD of an artist, one can't deny the effect the mesmerizing Michael Jackson had on everybody who gave him a chance and listened.
03 Avey Tare & Kria Brekkan - "Sis Around the Sandmill"
Avey Tare of Animal Collective and his wife, Kria Brekkan, make a great pair. The album they made together, Pullhair Rubeye, is definitely worth the listen. It's less glitchy than Tare's main project, but it's perfect for those lazy, summer days.
04 The Most Serene Republic - "The Old Forever Things"
I cannot stress any more how much I love The Most Serene Republic. They are way too underrated and very talented. My respect definitely comes from my experience in watching this band evolve from their first record to their newest -which happens to be one of my favorite albums of 2009 right now.
