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'.
So this is a music video that I worked on last year. It is an amazing video mostly due to the wonderful Danny Mooney. He's amazing at everything he does, and once you see the video I'm sure you'll agree. We only got to shoot about two thirds of what was supposed to be shot, but you wouldn't know that with what Danny has pulled together. Keep an eye on him, he's definitely going far.
Just so you know, this video went up only about a day ago and it already has over 20,000 view. Which is incredible.
There's a couple of songs that are played constantly at all of the night clubs here in Ireland. Some are getting on my nerves, some make me want to dance... hah, me, dancing, hah. Here are just a few:
Infinity 2008 -Guru Josh Project (This is one that makes me want to dance. The music video is a bit weird though, and I like the original version of the song better, but this is all I could find)
Poker Face -Lady Gaga (This is one that's getting on my nerves)
I Kissed A Girl -Katy Perry (Nerves again)
Sex on Fire -Kings of Leon (I think I would get jumped in a dark alley if I said that Kings of Leon are 'ok' but this song doesn't get on my nerves, I just don't like it that much)
They also tend to play a lot of MGMT which I'm not complaining about either. Kids seems to be the DJs' favorite song too.
