back? back.

brb

There will be no sprinkles of digital dust for awhile, due to some life-altering changes.

Hope to be back soon. Be safe, everyone.

Blue Light

By melding the Gang of Four's musical catalog, U2-ish heart-on-sleeve politics, with The Cure's Robert Smith's DNA, you'll end up with Bloc Party. Currently riding a lot of hype (but not a lot of hot air), this band has won a lot of airplay and may become one of the next big things - if they aren't already, and however fleeting that may be. Enjoy the Party now, or forever hold your peace.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Bang On!

Big Beat proponents coming off as a poor man's Chemical Brothers, the Propellerheads still manage to serve up some nifty tracks in their 1998 debut. Aside from the occasional remixing job, for some reason they never released anything after. Does that bode ill for these wannabes? So what's going on, dudes?

Snaptrax:
Human After All
Technologic
Robot Rock
Television Rules The Nation

Dance music cult favorites Daft Punk returns with their 3rd studio album and serves up more robot disco, belying the album title (chicken or egg?). Given their current hype, one song, "Technologic" already made iPod-commercial status. Have a care though - repeated spins of this disc will make you feel like you've been living inside an Intel chip.

Snaptrax:
Overload
Soul Sound
Lush Life
Real Thing
Same Old Story

Back in '01, I heard "Overload" on someone's collection, and I was instantly hooked. Its easy to dismiss them as teenage pop fluff but somehow I'm still listening whenever they put an album out, which means some degree of staying power since they can sing anyway, despite dwindling material. This debut though, is already classic - in my own collection, that is.

Best of OMD

Snaptrax:
We Love You
Secret
So In Love
If You Leave
Forever Live and Die
Talking Loud and Clear

For all their radio-friendly music, OMD didn't hit their stride till 1985's Crush, which spawned most of their catchiest work. No one will remember the 80s, or spin 80s dancefloor hits - without injecting some OMD.

Go It Alone
Que Onda Guero
Earthquake Weather
Hell Yeah

Admittedly, this is the first Beck album I've listened to from start to finish, and it does do its job: satisfy my ears and make me curious about past albums post-"Loser". He's the musical equivalent of my laptop, multitasking all over the place. Despite the chaos of musical styles, you're never lost. At least I wasn't.

Archangel!!!

You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.
