Enter the Pray-on Kid: a sandpit quagmire, stuck in a joke, stuck in an enigma, sandwiched by the walls of Pandora's Box; or simply my chosen moniker for posting on the CrayonKids blog.
This is my first time posting on a blog in about 4/5 years, and I've just realised it's pissing down cats and dogs outside and I've forgotten to close the windows in my room at home.. so what's a kid to do? but prayyyyyyyyyyy on hehe (i'm copyrighting that if you're reading Noel Gallagher)
Anyway, luckily I've got some delicious T and T (tones and tuneage for those of you who aren't me) to allay my fears for the moment, stuck in this invisible cubicle called my existence.
First off - Jack White. An absolute freak of a man, who gained fame for playing in a 2-piece outfit with his sister and/or wife. Recently, he's melded with 3 other assorted musicians from other semi-famous bands to form the Raconteurs (or the Saboteurs for you Aussies). Seven Nation Army? fuck that, STEADY AS SHE GOES.
As repetitive as the song gets, it'll keep pinching those same spots in your brain that you love, and the "Slave to the Sunshine Mix" does exactly that, with added flavour. Starts off with very simple loops and laps that entice you in... then slowly builds, like layers upon layers, just like that line which made Shrek famous. It ends with an almost reverse-crescendo as it reverts back to an all out rock fest, and if you're not nodding and rocking when the timer hits -1:00, then you've seriously gotta pick up a LedZep record or summat.
The Raconteurs - Steady as She Goes (Slave to the Sunshine Remix)
My fave track off his album - ACCEPTABLE IN THE 80's, what a funny song... insanely rhythmic and catchy it borders on bubblegum pop. Oh and 'I Created Disco' is like new age disco-lectro Primal Scream haha! I love it.
Anyways, give that a listen..
Thirdly, don't you think the singer from the Kings of Leon sounds just like Whitney Houston after inhaling muscle relaxants sprays?
Lastly............. been listening to a little chillout lately, and Cardamar is the name to blame. CLICK HERE to download some of their wonderful longggg mixes.
I never enjoyed chillout/downtempo but now I'm growing older or something it's quite good on occasions where you gotta sit down and work.
If you do download any mixes, make sure you check out "Nebra Skydisk" if you're a trance fan.. Trance legends Blank and Jones do a little cameo...
Anyway, this is taking up too much time, I've gotta do some incredibly boring and lame stuff.... Post up soon..
Ciaosers Bowsers.
Love, the Pray-on Kid.
