Every day I get emails from iTunes about crap I don’t care about.  Today, that changed. I received an alert that  Kiss Kiss, a band I had written off and assumed disappeared, had a new album out this week.  The album is called The Meek Shall Inherit What’s Left and judging by the single on their Myspace, it should be just as exiting and fresh as their last album. This is usually around the time where I give a brief description of the style of music they play.  Well, that doesn’t really work in this case.  Kiss Kiss is a musical enomaly.  Virtually indescribable and certainly impossible to label into any single, or combination of genres.  They have the lyrical prowess of Chiodos, with verses like poems.  They have beautiful, symphonic music that soothes you with the sound of violins but will abruptly be broken into by the sound of chainsaws.  They have a scheduled show on January 26th…in Space. If you do yourself one favor today, listen to Kiss Kiss.

bauldoff: Turn your doorway into a battlefield with the functionally clever Ping Pong Door by Tobias Fränzel. I can imagine this would have been a big hit in the offices of all the dot com start-ups in the late 90’s. Yesss please. This would work perfect in my new apartment.

Dance Gavin Dance

I purchased the new Dance Gavin Dance CD, Happiness, at Rockin Roots on June 7th.  It has not left my car’s CD player since then.  It is safe to say that I love DGD. 

It is very rare that you get a CD nowadays and listen to it non-stop.  Withthe quickness and ease of file sharing and music torrents and so many other ways to acquire music nowadays, I often find myself jumping from band to band daily but this album changed that for a solid month.

With only 10 songs, I have listened to the whole thing probably about 50 times and can’t fight singing them at the top of my lungs.

One thing I have noticed about the band is it’s distinct bi-polarity in their songs.  Like many successfull bands in todays rock scene, DGD has a singer(Kurt Travis) and a screamer(Will Swan).  After some examination I noticed that the lyrics sung by the two of them was vastly different in an almost comical proportion. 

Here is the reason I created this post, to display some of the actual lyrics, not altered in any way and in the actual order they are sung.  The regular font is Travis’ singing and the bold font is Swan’s screaming.  Enjoy.

Song (Album)
Carl Barker (Happiness)

You’d always say we’ll win the lottery someday
So I wouldn’t have to go away
I should have known that I’d had it all along
But I didn’t know til’ you were gone

(Let’s see you function now)
(Touch your nose, jump around)

(Forklifts they go in trucks)
(Jeeze you just made this tough)
(Pick up the typo trash)
(Who brought those cups and plates?)
(What do celebrities do?)
(Dancing without a clue)
(Drinking their life away)
(Gamble with everyday)

juliasegal: click picture to watch trailer…which is totally SFW As an avid Seinfeld fan, I had to click the link above and watch the trailer even though it was a porn trailer. I was surprisingly exited when these adult film stars, who are notoriously famous for being terrible actors, did a great job of mimicking the Seinfeld cast and plots. Worth a quick look if you’re a fan of the show.

Get exited for this. Jonny Craig, lead singer for Emarosa and Isles & Glaciers just released the picture for his solo album “A Dream is a Question You Don’t Know How to Answer” which will be out on August 18th.  In related news, Craigery Owen’s (Chiodos, Cinematic Sunrise, Isles & Glaciers) much anticipated solo album finally got a name. “Με την αγάπη ” — it is Greek for “with love” & is pronounced “mi agape” in English.” (from twitter.com/craigeryowens) This is a small step towards something that a lot of people have been waiting for but at least its a step.
