Metronomy!
Metronomy is this amazing British band, I'm just loving lately. And as my friends don't really know them, I decided to share these with you, another reason is that I found that their remixes are awesome and I shared them on Panormx, although they don't really belong there. I made a mistake by thinking every remix is the same kind of electro, the kind you hear at parties and that makes you go deaf. But Metronomy isn't like that, their first album is an instrumental electro album, their second is an electronic vocal pop album and their remixes just reflect their style. It's all very downtempo and bleepy, it's a relaxing kind of electro, something that wouldn't make old people startle. So just enjoy and love them, please love them!

Entropa!
Het is de gewoonte dat telkens wanneer een nieuw land de leiding over de E.U. krijgt voor 6 maanden dat deze een kunstwerk schenken, dat dan wordt opgehangen in de Justus Lipsius zaal van het Europees parlement te Brussel. Tsjechië schonk een behoorlijk controversieel, maar ook wel grappig, kunstwerkje, genaamd Entropa. Het is een satire die aantoont dat er einde moet gemaakt worden aan de stereotypes die bestaan binnen Europa. Zo wordt Nederland voorgesteld als water waar net nog enkele minaretten bovenkomen, in Polen hijsen pastoors een homovlag, Duitsland is één en al autobaan, Denemarken bestaat uit Lego, ons geliefde land komt er goed vanaf als een doos pralines en Engeland..wel, die werden eruit gelaten. Het kunstwerk is gemaakt door David Cerny, die bekend is om zijn controversieel werk, zo schilderde hij een tank uit de Praagse Lente roos en liet hij Saddam zwemmen in een doos.
ENTROPA, In dit bestand kan je alle landen van dichtbij bekijken en met een leuk uitlegje bij elk land.
Volgens sommigen is Tsjechië een land die wat leven in de brouwerij zal brengen, en is dat net wat de E.U. nodig heeft.

Sit down, relax, and watch a movie!
And I've got just the thing for you, you know it's the examperiod, so I'll do about anything not to study, and watching movies is what I love the most to do. But actually my exam vs. movie/tvshows ratio has lowered a lot, I'm being a way better student, still worse than you, but fuck that shit!
So the first movie I saw was I ♥ Huckabees, it's not new, it's from 2004, so how did I find this movie? Well, I'm a big Wes Anderson fan and he uses Jason Schwartzman a lot in his movies, so I checked out Jason's curriculum, I saw this movie, although not being a Wes Anderson movie, and when I saw the other actors like Mark Wahlberg, who is just awesome, Dustin Hoffman and Jude Law, also often cool, I did not doubt for a minute, I wanted to see this movie. Let's begin with saying that I'm glad I saw this movie after my philosophy exam, because this movie will screw you up. The whole movie is soaked in questions about existentialism, transcendentalism, nihilism and synchronicity. Then they've put a Magritte-esque absurdity over the whole thing. It's wonderful, it makes you sick and happy at the same time, plus it's funny! Really funny, not laugh-out-loud funny as the cover says, but still really funny. It's wonderful and I mean it literally, it makes you wonder about your being, about everything. It'll keep you up at night, it's the lazy man's window to philosophy and existentialist doubts.And of course it has a magnificent soundtrack that you download here:
Jon Brion - I ♥ Huckabees (Mediafire) (tracklist)
(Check out the songs with Monday, they're beautiful)
Next up is a more recent film, it's called How To Lose Friends And Alienate People, that's a mouthful indeed. Let me begin with saying that Simon Pegg is a fucking genius! The guy made the awesoooome movies Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz, funny as hell. But that was British humor, I always prefered their sense of humor. Now he stars in movies as Run, Fat Boy, Run and this movie, American movies... I was really scared for the results, and although some jokes were predictable, the movie had me smiling from the start all the way 'till the end, not only because it's funny, but because of its sweetness too. There were some laugh-out-loud moments and all credit goes to Simon for those, because it was pure British. Kirsten Dunst is trickier actress, she is a godess in some films, and really sucky in others (Spiderman.). In this film she is marvellous, nothing more, nothing less. The other actors all contribute their part in what I found to be a charming movie, Megan Fox wading through a pool is just a nice extra. And I almost forgot telling about the movie itself, well, Simon plays the role of an annoying reporter called Toby Young at the high-society magazine Sharps. It's based on the memoires of Toby Young and his career at Vanity Fair. The only thing left for me to do is recommend this movie and give you the soundtrack, yay!VA - How To Lose Friends & Alienate People Soundtrack (Mediafire) (tracklist)
(La Dolce Vita is a recommendable oldie)
Then I also saw Burn After Reading, but this review will be a lot shorter, it's pure shit. I don't know where they went wrong with actors as John Malkovich and Brad Pitt, but they did. In my opinion the Coen Brothers lost a lot of their wit. This movie is dull, unoriginal and just not funny. Everthing is so fucking easy and Hollywood, it makes you sick. The only actor that did a good job, and by that I mean he could act, and not only that he was kinda funny too, is Richard Jenkins, I know! Not even a real star! Oh, and btw Tilda Swinton makes me puke! This movie should be burned before viewing!
Oh, and I also saw the movie Spaceballs, which is a classic, it's a parodie on the original Star Wars trilogy, it features that comedic sense of the 80s and of course all the comics of that period. Funny, and every Star Wars fan should have seen this.
M.A.G.I.C.
Again I forgot to post a video with the other vids, damned! SO here is The Sound Of Arrows with M.A.G.I.C., it's just really lovely, I could listen to it all day.
