And I just can’t keep living this way So starting today, I’m breaking out of this cage I’m standing up, Imma face my demons I’m manning up, Imma hold my ground I’ve had enough, now I’m so fed up Time to put my life back together right now ~ Eminem – Not Afraid It’s Friday, and I don’t know about y’all but I haven’t been this happy to see the weekend since, well… last Friday. But really, it’s been a …
As a grunge loving teenager in the 90′s, Soul Asylum has been one of my favourite bands for half my life. Misery was an anthem back then, but it was Runaway Train that summed up all the angst, talent and awesomeness of that decade for me. The song has remained one of my all-time favourites all this time, not least because it has a real purpose and message. Seeing as how today is Soul Asylum guitarist Dan Murphy’s birthday, I …
Because it’s Monday Mope Music time here tonight, I couldn’t resist sharing this gem. The band is called Within Temptation and they’re like an uber emo Efervessance (Evernessance, whatever that silly warbling band is called) but with a better vocalist. Yes, this is a home-made music video montage for Legends of the Fall – don’t judge, it was a brilliant damn movie and one of my all time favourites. I don’t know the lyrics, just turn it up and listen …
I’ve been a Bush fan since I was about 16, and on a rather mehish Monday, Letting the Cables Sleep seems like the perfect moody, introspective mope song. The video is awesome too… dark, deep and intense. Also, we get to see Gavin Rossdale’s abs. Aweh. Bush – Letting the Cables Sleep You in the dark You in the pain You on the run Living a hell Living your ghost Living your end Never seem to get in the place …
Seriously been killing this Jack Parow song lately, yes I know it’s not new but I love him and Die Antwoord more and more. Awesome shiz, and local is lekker after all. Jack Parow – Cooler As Ekke Jy dink jy’s cooler as ekke, want jy rook Yves Saint Laurent sigarette Jy dink jy’s cooler as ekke, want jy’t ‘n tattoo van ‘n slang op jou tette. Jy dink jy’s cooler as ek, want jy’t ‘n plakkaat van Led Zeppelin …
Of all my memories of this song (and there are plenty), the one that stands out the most is being in the car with my cousin and a few friends, on route to an outdoor party in Scarborough. Driving through Noordhoek and Sun Valley, with Led Zeppelin blasting all the way, enjoying everything that was awesome about being 15… cute clothes, friends, giggles. Sadly, it also meant strict curfews. We didn’t like curfews much, and were used to the safety …
I was listening to Johnny Winter before I was old enough to understand what he was singing about. Ok, maybe it wasn’t by choice, but my father installed some serious music values into me and my sister – we grew up believing that rhythm and blues and blues rock was the only possible acceptable music. Lord knows how my dad handled my Nirvana phase, and I won’t even go into Def Leppard or horror of all horrors, Bon Jovi. My …
Thanks so much to my nyak for sending me the link to this, honestly think this is the best thing I’ve seen like forevers!
I’ve been a Nouvelle Vague fan for a good few years, ever since I pinched their first album from my sister. The fact that they cover all my favourite dark alternative classics is awesome enough, but they also have such a cool style of their own – the result is a French new wave that has a morbid edge with a marshmallow soft center. I’m in a weird mood tonight, shifting through old favourites like Tom Waits’ Chocolate Jesus and …
Oh! I’m into you And girl no One else would do Cause with every kiss and every hug You make me fall in love And now I, now I can’t be the only one I bet these heart’s all over the world tonight With the love of their life who feel What I feel when I’m With you ~ Chris Brown – With You Rihanna bashing aside (and that was totally deplorable and awful), Chris Brown is such a talented …
