Those are lyrics from one of my favorite songs at the moment, "Embrace" by Ladyhawke ... OK, I guess it is by PNAU (featuring Ladyhawke). It's just as great as "Paris is Burning" (maybe even better). I love the whole 80s vibe. It seems like it should be played at the end of BMX Bandits (Nicole Kidman movie).
Here is the mix I like ...
Here is a remix of "Embrace" ...
Here is another song by Ladyhawke called "Back of the Van" ...
PNAU have a website here, and if you go here, you can play their video game.
In other news, I am amazed at what an impact the trailer for "Watchmen" had on the song "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" by Smashing Pumpkins. The song jumped to the top of the charts on iTunes and Amazon's MP3 section. It's probably because everyone who saw "The Dark Knight" loved the trailer of "Watchmen" right before it. The song and the trailer went together perfectly. I love how dark the song sounds. A co-worker of mine told me how there are various versions of this song. Here is a more guitar version called "The End is the Beginning is the End" ...
That same co-worker told me I needed to download the song, "Snail", by Smashing Pumpkins. Here it is, but it doesn't really grab me ...
Another song that seems to be gaining in popularity on the download charts (iTunes and Amazon, for example) is M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes". It probably doesn't hurt that it is featured in the trailer for "Pineapple Express" (after about a minute).
M.I.A.'s birthday was July 17th (I think that is right), and someone from the M.I.A. Fans message board made two YouTube videos where they got people to wish her a happy birthday and/or dance to her songs. Here are the videos ...
The Smashing Pumpkins wrote a song for the awful, horrible movie, "Batman and Robin", called "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning". Well, it was on the movie's soundtrack. I don't know if they actually wrote it for that movie. The song is now featured in the latest trailer for "Watchmen". The trailer was shown before "The Dark Knight", and it looked really cool. The song and the visuals went really well together.
Here is the trailer ...
Here is the song ...
I really liked "The Dark Knight", and I am glad it is breaking all kinds of records. The performances were all very good, and it was nice to see a grown-up action movie. Besides seeing cool movies this weekend, I also went to a conservatory with my parents in Shreveport, Louisiana. I need to be able to go to a conservatory everyday. It was very cool.
