Music [2]

And this.



Okay, i'll freely admit to being slightly hooked.   

And, as I'm so nice, why don't I repost norcs Röyksopp videos for the new page.

yes, yes you should. they're from here  and thanx for bumping the videos here  
i'm just gonna add one more

or two

aaaand some live stuff. this is actually from not long ago, my town, a rare concert in their hometown. it's the singer from Bel Canto (the snow-song halfy loved so much) and i, and my sister and some friends, met röyksopp afterwards.. (i know live recordings are usually shit and the audience ruin it by trying to sing along, but they're fun)

the first one a guy sings it on the album, and the second two on the album it is Robyn.


and... just because after all those lie schtuff i think i want to show u this calm song  honestly this is one of the most beautiful and melancholic yet hopeful and warm songs ever. if u just want to listen to one of these vids, listen to this one!

Nice that you got to meet them. I always want to be the local who shows a band where to go after the show, but they always seem to have their own plans...

well, me too halfy  but these guys are local  only, they don't live here.

what, really? this guy?? the blond one?

yers

i don't believe u.

I do indeed prefer the last video. the less amped up songs do a better job of using her voice quality. The frenetic stuff is more fun at a concert, but I think the real talent is revealed in the more spare songs.

I think the true quality of a band is shown in the slower and simpler stuff, where there's no place to hide.

Well his cheekbones are lower, and his nose is a bit different. But that guy really looks a lot like my dad.

yes, i agree, they have a lot of those songs. i recommend their first album Melody A.M, lots of great songs, reminds me of my childhood somehow, probably because we played it in the car while driving around during summer-nights looking for a good place to camp. also the album Senior you should check out. Senior and Junior are opposites which is kinda cool. they were thinking of making an electronica album for old people (no offence) with softer and deeper sound. i think i posted something from Senior above, the adventure in barbieland one (it has lots of different songs from that album).

As far as I remember she said she recorded the vocal to the last video, Sparks, on a tape recorder crying in her kitchen, contemplating that the things in life that really matter are those small everyday things that one normally doesn't notice.

There's certainly something about the starkness of the recording and the vividity of the emotions expressed..

I will, I will, I will.   I just want to... give it my full attention, if that makes any sense.  

Just to fawn a little more over fleet foxes.. The first song here is really good, but on the album it's hidden away in the middle of some song cycle. Second ones not to bad either..

And... to get it all in one post.

yeah i know, she told me. it was actually just like a test and when they called back or she called back, she asked if it was ok and if she should come into studio or something and they were like no no, that's fine, we like it. it wasn't meant to be like that, but it just did.

yeah, that kid is great  she won  but i think she's a bit young and well.. cocky (but who isn't at that age)

so the sheet music for this year's summer course has arrived and this is one of the songs:

Much string work!
Actually... entirely string work.
Does it have good viola bits?

dunno, i'm playing 1. violin on this.
edit: yes, it's good. very similar to the violin part.

First violin? Nice!

yeaaaaah

there's a little snippet about when they (as one of the first) cooperated with KORK (state-channels orchestra, i think BBC has one too.. it's like the cooles orchestra  ) and made a piece for the opening of the third NRK radio channel P3, it's a great piece of music, but i can't find it on youtube

i want kids and a husband like this like omg they're covering Depeche Mode in the best, most awesome and cutes way!!! i love depeche mode, but i think perhaps i'm loving these guys more
