Music Update (part 1)

Here are a five videos from bands I have really fallen for in 2008. I'll be posting more and more when I have time, with a complete "Best of '08" list coming soon.

Vivian Girls - Tell the World
I don't think I liked this song the first time I heard it, but this album has really grew on me over the last few days. If you are into genre definition, I'd call them shoegazey indie noise-punk. With female vocals of course. Just watch the video.




M83 - Kim and Jesse
I know every critic has said this, but this album truly could have been the soundtrack to most of your favorite 80s teen romance movies. Just like all the rest of his stuff, it's really, really good.



Fucked Up - Twice Born
This video was shot in a Men's bathroom (errr, washroom) for MTV Canada. Pretty funny that they got onto TV again. I still need to experience a Fucked Up live show.



Blacklisted - I am Weighing Me Down
Blacklisted puts on helluva show. Unfortunately, they made a pretty lame video (but the song still rules). If you are into hardcore at all, you must already have "Heavier than Heaven, Lonelier than God." For those of you not familiar, give it a shot.




Torche - Healer
This is easily one of my favorite songs released this year. Torche is awesome because their new album "Meanderthal" can appeal to Isis fans just as easy as they can appeal to Red Hot Chilli Pepper fans. And they are one of the only bands with a gay vocalist that I can think of that doesn't suck.

This year kind of lacked in music for me. Look forward to your end of the year list.

The mix of the classic louis vuitton handbags stripes with the classic monogram logo print combined with fresh colors makes this line perfection. The louis handbags handbags, luggage accessories, and shoes (the wedges are to die for!) come in two nautical color combinations at the moment: light grey and ivory stripes with a blue monogram print, and red and ivory stripes with dark grey print. There’s something about Epi Leather winning color and pattern combination Genuine leather will have you saying ahoy in no time.
