Sunday music ...
Last night I was driving home from Dave & Buster's(a weird restaurant/bar/arcade for adults that gets a little boring after a while unless you are drunk), and I was listening to "St. Tropez" by Golden Bug, a song I got from Fluxblog. It's a cool song that reminds me of War's Low Rider and Underworld's "Bruce Lee". Take a listen ...
I did a search for "St. Tropez" in my iTunes library, and it brought up "Tightrope" by Electric Light Orchestra, too, so I need to post it here since it is such a good song ...
Also, if I am going to post "Bruce Lee" from Underworld's album, "Beaucoup Fish", then I need to post the first song on the album, "Cups", which always puts me in a very trance-like state as I listen to it ...
However, I have never liked the ending of "Cups", which makes me think of another song that starts off great, but ends badly, and that is Herbie Hancock's "Kebero (part one)", which features GiGi (aka Ejigayehu Shibabaw) on vocals ...
"The Matrix Reloaded" was on TNT, I think, a couple of hours ago so that reminded me of how much I liked the score for that film. I still think that from the restaurant scene to the end of the freeway scene is one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history(not the greatest, just one of the greatest), but I can watch it now and understand how cheesy a lot of it looks, too. Here are two favorite parts of the score, "Teahouse" by Juno Reactor, featuring Gocoo, and "Mona Lisa Overdrive" by Juno Reactor and Don Davis ...
