I actually stumbled upon this lone track by Underworld as I was watching video game montages the other day. Yes, you read that correctly, I’m a big enough video game nerd that occasionally I watch footage of other video game players that has been cleverly edited and then set to music. Yes. I’ll give you a moment to let that sink in.
While I’m being a giant nerd, scouring the internet for technology deals, or working I sometimes have a bit of freedom to listen to music. And then, at other times, all of those activities collide and I find a track like this that simply must be passed on. Enjoy.
mp3 : Underworld - Glam Bucket
I’m not sure where the title Glam Bucket comes from as there’s really nothing associated with the “glam” scene in this track. It is, however, a beautiful and relaxing trip through a technological landscape. It’s the type of music that Sigur Ros would create if they didn’t have vocals (and computers and synths instead of instruments). And just a fun fact, this track hails from their album Oblivion With Bells (amazon) (itunes) and if you really dig their music you should check out their collaborative work they did for the soundtrack to the movie Sunshine (itunes). It’s brilliant, just like the movie by Danny Boyle.

I can’t seem to help myself when it comes to The Boss. There’s just something magnetic about him. Maybe it’s because I don’t really like modern day Cougar and Billy Joel is pretty terrible now and John Denver and died. But maybe it’s because Springsteen is still good. He’s still good in a way that actually matters. His music is gripping and tragic and heart wrenchingly real. Sometimes, yes, he leans a bit too heavily on patriotism and rhetoric, but in the end his songs feel like they are honest, rough and tumble, struggling working man instant classics. And I just can’t help myself.
mp3 : Bruce Springsteen - The Wrestler
Yes this is the title track from the soundtrack to the film The Wrestler (amazon) (itunes). No I have yet to see it. I also haven’t seen The Hangover or Slumdog Millionaire yet either so get off my back.

Is anyone else as excited for this new Wes Anderson movie as I am?
Every so often a movie comes along that requires our attention. We feel the need to pass it on to every single person we meet. And with this movie, directed by Alfonso Cuaron, starring Clive Owen, we feel that we are compelled to tell you about it. We thought it was brilliant, and we think you’ll like it as well. So get a group of your mates together, pop some corn, and enjoy a glimpse at what our future might well become.
