'Coz It Makes You Want To Moooooove!

Summers over, but im still basking in the summer-song glory!
If you like what you hear, hit me up so we can chat more music! :)
Dance Dance like its the Last Last night of your Life Life-->
(headsup: song titles/artists in red)


  • Usher- Dj got us fallin' in Love.. heeees back!
  • Chromeo- Fancy Footwork..the song was elevated and put on the scene with Step Up 3D
  • Danny Byrd- ill Behaviour.. dubstep- Caution: not everybody's cup of tea (before you start hating on my taste in music)
  • Duck Sauce- Barbra Streisand..don't be fooled by the lack of vocals, very catchy tune!
  • Tensnake- Coma Cat.. another one with minimal vocal, but great sound! A very summer-in-ibiza-festival song
  • Fake Blood- I think i like it./.Fix your Accent.. this one is a double feature! I give you two songs from the same artist coz i liked them so much! (you might not, but fingers crossed) Infused in a set by a dj at a festival/club these songs would blow your mind..i guess you just have to close your eyes and let your imagination run wild (as i do mine) Clever, minimalistic vocals and great mooovin' beats!
  • Cee-Lo- Forget you.. From the genius behind Gnarles Barkley, one of the most upbeat-makes you happy-but actually quite a bitter song haha!
  • The Ting Tings- Hands..If this song doesn't make you bob your head with the beat..change my name!
  • Scissor Sisters- Any which way.. because you can never have enough of the scissor sisters :)
  • Kelly Rowland-Forever and a Day.. i am not embarassed to say that Destinys Child had some serious talent, and not all of it was in Beyonce, no matter how much her dad insists! The beat of this song makes you want to move!
  • Kesha- Take it Off.. Now i am ashamed to say i like this song..im not a big fan of Kesha or most mainstream music..DONT even talk to me about Beiber(my head might explode, and not in a good way) but this song..somehow, i like!
  • Basement Jaxx ft. Paloma Faith- Whats a girl gotta do..a combo that not only brings great leg shakin' booty poppin' but a voice thats so retro its perfect for the Basement Jaxx sound.
  • Calvin Harris- Acceptable in the 80's.. Since we are on the topic of retro! Calvin Harris always bring some great tunage..i got love for you Calvin!
  • Example- Wont go quietly.. this little Brit is my fav these days, exploding on the scene with hit after hit! You might recognize him from 'KickStarts'- my Summer 2010 Tune!
    (check out his 'Last one standing' as well)
  • Monarchy- Love get out of my way.. i can see myself dancing to this in my room, can you?!
  • Mark Ronson and the Businss Int'l- The Bike Song.. crazy song titles and even crazier melodies..but they work! Remember Bang Bang Bang? (suggestion: give it more then one listen, ul like it better)
  • Swedish house Mafia ft. Tinie Tempah- Miami to Ibiza.. I have become a HUGE fan of Swedish house mafia after their 'One' ft. Pharrell..and this one doesnt disappoint!
  • Temper Trap- Sweet Disposition(Alan wilkis remix).. Remeber this? soundtrack to 500 days of Summer..well this is a whole new fresh take on it, with leaving all the greatness in the song intact! brilliant opening drum beat that continues throughout becoming the pulse of the song, with just the right amount of techno tuning! Best remix iv heard for this song so far!
  • Fenech Solar- Lies.. not the strongest lyrically..but then again most good songs arn't :p ('your tellin me sweet lies sleepin with everythin'.. convinced?!)
  • The Wombats- Tokyo(vampires & wolves).. Very upbeat everything! vocals, drums, guitars, etc. fromt the boys who brought you 'Lets dance to joy division'
  • Dirty South ft. Rudy- Phasing.. another great festival song
  • Lissie- Cuckoo.. new breakout singer songwriter..best heard live, because i believe she sounds better live! Check out her 'When im Alone' live on youtube. I like her for her lyrics-very talented! (Fell in love with being defiant, in a pickup truck that roar like a lion)
  • Labrinth- Let the Sun Shine.. cheesy but makes you smile, every time!
  • Plain White T's- Rhythm of Love.. doesnt fit in the dance category(the pattern iv been following throughout this post-so far) But its got great rhythm..take special notice to the drum beat! cheezy but totally gets stuck in your head!



(some rock..because you can never have enough of that!)

  • Pendulum- The Island.. its actually in two parts, but i think ul be good with part 1.. and again is more of an acquired taste..a sleeping taste which has recently awoken in me (if that makes any sense to you)
  • Funeral Party- Just Because.. Also check out their previous NYC moves to the sound of LA beats.
  • 30 Seconds to Mars- Closer to the Edge..Check out the Video, you'l know why i like them!
  • Paramore- Careful.. this band just proves to be more and more awesome, with a powerhouse for a lead singer!
  • Biffy Clyro- God and Satan.. Great lyrics!
  • Kings of Leon- Radioactive...Saved the BEST for last, their newest single from their new album..Although id like to give special mention to 'Fans' probably one of the best songs!

MiniMix/Essential Mix: (Go youtube right away!)
  1. Fenech Solar Minimix BBC Radio 1 on the Annie Mac show
  2. Radio 1's Essential Mix in Ibiza 2009
  3. Radio 1's Essentail Mix at Creamfields 2009

Heartache And Pain Came Pouring Down

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father, run for your children, for your sisters and brothers..
Leave all your love and loving behind, you cant carry it with you if you want to survive.

Have we become immune?
Human beings pride themselves on being the most empathetic creatures on the planet, i ask where is this empathy when 20 million people are living in the mud and ruins of their lives, ravaged by 20 foot torrents?


Don't get me wrong, there are hundreds of people who have come to the aid of these poor people, The United Nations, private NGO's, international aid agencies...see a pattern? the same people who are forced to help, in times of a disaster!
I am not being ungrateful, not saying that people are not helping...LORD knows how much people have helped...the entire country has mobilized into a force, feuled by their 'jazbah' (fire in the heart)..

All i do is urge more and more people to feel..just feel for those who have lost EVERYTHING. i can sit here and quote statistics, post pictures of all the devastation gripping our country and update my facebook status pleading for people to come out and help..but what i really want is for people to feel..feel for all those mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart.

That could/should be Us..
What would you do if it was you?
What would you like everyone else to do if you were sitting on the roof of your house crumbling and sinking under you?

What would you do if the clothes on your back were the only ones you had left?
Think about what your going to have for dinner tonight..now think about those people sitting in the dark, muddy snake infested water for as far as you can see, swatting away those mosquitos and sharing one peice of bread between their family of 6.. still thinking about your dinner tonight?!

I know iv lost my appetitie.



..And its true we are immune!
When fact is fiction and TV is reality

And Today the millions cry,
we eat and drink while tomorrow they die!

No one wanted to share, so he just ate the entrie bucket of CRAZY himself.

I am a BIG movie buff..and when most people love the main charecters, laugh with the supporting goofy charecters and hate the pretentious rude charecters...
I LOVE the VILLAINS!!!
In my opinion, its the villains that MAKE up the entire movie...the movie practically revolves around them...and im not just talking about Horror movies(inwhich it is the villains whom the movie revolves around-but also thrillers, superhero genre, etc)
Hence..the following is a list of my FAVORITES!

  • The SITH (Star Wars)
    The weilders of the dark side of the force. The pinnacle of their evil is something called the 'Dark Star', and although theyr few in number, theyr Stronger than the Jedi, and use politics and mind tricks to always manage to stay one up on the god guys(until their fatal ends-which every movie cliche' requires)

    -Darth Vader..Supervillain! Tortures people, chokes people(using teh Force), chops off his own Son's arm and tries to turn his own daughter to the dark side.

    - Darth Maul..the dark mysterious red faced guy with the coolest lightsaber in the entire movie..(my only issue-he died wayy too early-could have done some wayy cool stuff with his charecter)
  • Hannibal Lecter (Hannibal)
    A psychiatrist and cannabalistic serial Killer. Need i say more?
    He is a brilliant mind and has great taste in food...litrally!
    Shit hes done? Cut off the face of a guard, and wear it as a mask, no remorse for killing, scene at the dinner table where he eats the brain of Krendler, while hes still alive (with Starling)..hes ONE villain im facinated by, yet would NEVER EVER want to come across.
    Plus Sir Anthony Hopkins, did SUCH a brilliant JOB in the movies!! (love)

  • Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
    Adorned with a stiched-together-mask of the faces of all his victims, he waits for the next unlucky, lost traveler, and then the CHAINSAW comes out.
    Hes a deranged, yet misunderstood man, who lives in a creepy house with his family- who together make up the CLAN FROM HELL. Torture chamber in the basement, various devices to skin his victims, and a family that aids him in his crazy antics. What makes this charecter even scarier than Freddy or Jason(too animated and ficticious for this list) could be the realness of it all..maybe its because the story is based on a true story- maybe not.

  • Gollum (Lord of the Rings)
    "Mussssst have...the PRECIOUSSSssssss"
    Driven only by the power of the ring over him, he murdered and retreated into exile..After years he turned into this hideous creatures that gives you the creepy goosebumps.
    He is also one of those chearecters that are like cockroaches-JUST dont die. Eventually he posses the ring by biting frodo's finger off but is pushed into the fire and meets his end.
  • Bill (Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2)
    Leader of the deadly viper assassination squad (DiVas)-a gang of well-trained killers. He is romantically linked to one of the gangs members(Beatrix Kiddo-The Bride) and impregnantes her, but after she leaves him to amrry another, he kills everyone and puts a bullet to her head. She survives, and the rest of the movie revolves around her REVENGE!
    Bill is always calm with the intensity of an upcoming storm. His skills are strong and sharp since he is a merciless killer. But his soft side is shown in his love for his daughter, and love for B. Kiddo.
  • Joker (The Dark Knight-Batman)
    The archenemy of Batman, a master criminal, violent psychopath and goofy trickster.
    Mass murdering clown with zero empathy. Adorning clown black, white and red makeup and green hair, he is the perfect candidate for a mental asylum, in wich Batman constantly sends him.


This list keeps changing up/growing..so i will end it here..
only to give honerable Mention to...
Chucky (Childs Play)
Goro (Mortal Kombat)-
yes the four-armed-giant-human-dragon.

72 virgins!

This is a very very HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE topic(literally), and i would normally NEVER indulge in religious debate..but sometimes, when the situation asks, i feel keeping my mouth shut and opinions muted doesn't help anyone!
Hence...

People who are not very educated about other religions (not that i'm saying i'm educated enough about religions-let alone even mine) but those people who are completely illiterate about
different religions, make the common mistake of believing that the Holy Quran teaches its followers to strap on explosives and blow themselves along with infidels up, in order to get a ticket straight into heaven.

These followers in turn are promised/rewarded 72 black haired virgins.

Therein lies the common misconception- Both on the part of those illiterate many, and on the part of the foolish brainless muslims, who believe this absurd promise.

(for the brainless)
Firstly, in the Holy Book, the word used is 'Houri', which has alot of meanings, and can also be translated to mean Angels..(yes i did my research- im not giving out sweeping statements)
Therefore, 72 Angels will minister to the departed/Martyrs in heaven.. And NO nowhere does it say that the word minister has to have any sexual connotation!!! (one track minded world i tell you!) So basically the brainless fools who believe this..i would like to ask you..SERIOUSLY is that ALL you think about/want out of life..72 virgins? SERIOUSLY...you are willing to end your life for THAT...
ALSO id like to divert for a second to the feminist in me, and ask the questions that iv been dying to ask...what about women? Do they get 72 male-virgins? Do they get ANY virgins? Do they get Anything?

(for the illiterate many)
Secondly, terrorists/extremist organisations dedicated to trying to teach the rest of the world a lesson (but actually harboring serial killer/psychopath tendencies) indoctrinate their primarily illiterate trainees into believing that their suicide and killing of infidels will be the path to heaven.
There is no such statement in the Holy book.
Its quite the peaceful book, advocating understanding and tolerance!!!

I'm not a very religious person, and neither am i that well-read when it comes to my own religion(sadly). But i do know that NO religion intends to destroy the rest of the human race and urges murder.
i am extremely against hate/violence/murder(of any living thing-except lizards-but thats another post)
All we need is Love-seriously!
(this will probably be one of my very few posts on religion..because it HAD to be said)

..MushaBoo...do you think its kind of wrong to write BOOM after this post..hahahha
MUSHABOOM!!!
