Black Noise - Jackin My Fresh Feat. Lex One

Somehow referring to one of the earlier posts, the one named “Capoeira”, here I come to present you something similar. But only from a small point of view: Black Noise comes from South Africa and their first album is dedicated to this Brazilian form of art, Capoeira.
This is one video that will slowly make you love the sound as well.
Enjoy!

Katie Melua - Nine Million Bicycles

The name of Katie Melua sounded familiar, but I refused to ever Google it. I was quite sure that I would have wasted time on another range of Lady Gaga-Pink-Rihanna-Jessica Simpsons-like-stupid-US-folklore.

Thank God I was wrong. She is young, but with a whole luggage of achievements behind. She’s one of those people who make you wonder when the hell they had time to do all that stuff. She was born in Georgia, moved to Ireland, then to England, holds three citizenships (Soviet, Georgian, British), released three albums, was the biggest-selling female artist in UK for one year, she even appeared in a short segment of the movie Grindhouse… Wow!

You might remember her from the weird video I Cried For You (the one with the face that breaks into pieces – quite gross, though).

I heard again this song on this snowy day. I stoped. I Googled. I promised myself not to judge beforehand. Enjoy!

Penguin Café Orchestra

By coincidence, I noticed that I own this Penguin Café Orchestra song. It was amazing. I realized that it was part of the “Mary and Max” soundtrack. A million little warm flashes went through my head.

Apart from – or better said – not only for the great soundtrack, I can proudly declare this movie as the best of 2009. Unfortunately I missed the chance to watch it at Animest this year. I took my share later! It’s a movie that reminds you how to speak your mind, how to laugh out loud and how it’s like to be hurt.

It’s a movie of deep honesty. It makes you go out and hug people; it makes you realize how fragile is the soul and how corruptible the mind.

If you want to be richer, watch it!
If you are human, you’ll love it!
