WHOAZA MATES!

Yes, I just typed "whoaza" as part of my post's title. Let's face it, I'm excited, well, no, not really, but, yes, really excited. I'll tell you why it is that I am excited, in a couple of seconds.

Let's see, lads. I did not know that this kid of mine had celebrated its first birthday some days ago. So, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY POP! MUSIC! Our zine has been alive for more than a bloody year. The birthday was on June 2nd. I apologize for not logging in earlier, or for acknowledging this beforehand. Let's just say that my memory does not work well these days because of the anxiety and stress that my new job has created. I hate my job, and kids, I cannot quit the darn thing. That's my current life. Enjoy.

On the other hand. Let's see. In music news. I cannot find my guitar cable, and I really do not want to spend another twenty dollars on one, considering that I do not know if I will ever get paid, and/or whether I will keep my current disgusting job.

A few weeks ago, Owen Pallett was featured in a New York Times article. Once you're featured there, I believe it is somewhat difficult to remain being an indie band. Whatever, Final Fantasy will always make extraordinary music, no matter its mainstream status.

To relieve my stress, I believe that I will try to write as much as possible. I do not know if my internet status will change, for I do not know what my income will be in the next couple of weeks. So, if I do not post very often, this is why, and if I post multiple posts at the same time, now you know why too.

I will go now to research me some music. I'll keep you posted if I find something new whilst I am still connected to the net.


Take care, and don't forget to read us!

Owen Pallett and Final Fantasy

The day is not here anymore. I apologize for that, and with this apology, I bring with me, a very experimental, and skilled Canadian Artist: Owen Pallett.

Pallett is the main member of the band Final Fantasy, which is almost a solo project, but it also includes Leon Taheny, who is given credit as engineer and drummer.

I have nothing else to say, other than to plead you to listen to this musician, he is good, and shouldn't escape your hears.

In this video, you will listen to Final Fantasy playing "Peach, Plum, Pear" live off their "Has A Good Home" album, which was released prior to "He Poos Clouds" which is his latest album as of now.




Sorry, I also have to add this other song, "Many Lives --> 49 MP" because this is by far my favorite song off the album He Poos Clouds:




I also forgot to mention that his latest releases--two songs--are actually from ALPHABET SERIES -X- which was released October 23, 2007. He is to release a new album in the fall of 2008
