Good Morning

Another hit from the Rogue Wave bug.

I love this music video. I wish I could romp around some barren wasteland with feathers in my hair. Can I? Oh please can I?

Solitary Gun

I know I've been raving for years about how much I love Rogue Wave, so don't read on if you are sick of it because there's a whole lot more about to spew out.

Their new album 'Permalight' is sincerely awesome. I love every second of every song. Their last album 'Asleep at Heaven's Gate' was a bit of a dud in my opinion. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, it just wasn't what I was looking for in a Rogue Wave album. I love all of the color and depth that 'Permalight' has. There are a lot of pertinent issues that the band deals with in these songs and that's one aspect that keeps me coming back for more. I'm listening to this almost as obsessively as I listened to 'Descended Like Vultures' back in the day (and sometimes nowadays). But let's not forget the early stuff either. 'Out of the Shadow' was a great one too. There's more of a playfulness to this early album than the rest, therefore it's good in my book. But for some reason I just can't put my finger on, it doesn't have the same oompf, or pizazz, or whatever it is that 'Descended Like Vultures' and 'Permalight' do.

Nope, there's no getting around it. I absolutely adore Rogue Wave. I doubt very much that will ever change.

However, Zac recently turned me onto Freelance Whales. They're pretty awesome as well. And not only is the music that they make incredible, their website is amazing on top of that. They're almost on par with Rogue Wave in my book, and that's saying something. I really like the song 'Hannah'.

Here's a little taste of who they are...

Boxes and Light

I wish I had the know-how to pull something like this off. The fact that it seems to turn from 3 dimensions to 2 is amazing. It's best if you watch the whole thing.

PogoMix

Thanks to Faye who showed these to me. They're amazing remixes of well known movies into really interesting and cool songs.


From the movie 'UP'


Alice in Wonderland


My favorite Disney movie 'The Sword in the Stone'


And of course 'Mary Poppins'

Not only is the imagery amazing, the music is great. I love it.
