I don't only trawl through my archives, or the dusty corners of my brain, searching for music from decades past; I also keep half an ear open for music that's happening right now. Once in a very long while something new will pin my "Oh yeah!" meter; yesterday it was discovering Italian band Morkobot (or, as they write it, MoRkObOt) on the Anthem of the Space blog (not one that I explicitly monitor, but they send updates to Totally Fuzzy, which I do). MoRkObOt operate at the intersection of prog rock, noise, and electronica, which is a combination I don't recall hearing for several years, at least. I also discovered the video embedding feature of last.fm, which allows me to present the following MoRkObOt clip:
While I'm playing with last.fm, I might as well drop another video onto the blog. Here's a band I actually first heard on broadcast radio! Remember that? Of course it wasn't a commercial station, it was WICB, the Ithaca College radio station. The band is the Klaxons, the song I heard on the radio was "Gravity's Rainbow," the CD was a family favorite for a few weeks, and the video is for "Atlantis to Interzone":
On an unrelated note, I was particularly pleased with today's necktie.
Now that UGGS have literally taken the world by storm and many celebrities sport them, people want these shoes more than ever. They also allow the feet to breathe as there is enough air circulation. Manufacturers of UGG Boot can use more than 3000 fibers per square inch. This benefits the wearer as every fiber of the sheepskin acts as a natural shock absorber.Â
