The Wire Box | July 2011 Playlist

Put this together for kicks, in case anybody wanted to hear the entire stream of July TWB entries in a YouTube playlist. Personally makes it easier for me to go through all the music posted! In the future, I plan on making playlists out of all the entries made in TWB and having links to them on the right hand panel. I have also added this playlist to the new right side panel already :). Comments on this idea are welcomed. I think Mark had this idea before? Can't recall!


The Wire Box | July 2011 Playlist

The Get Up Kids - Rally 'Round the Fool



I don't really care for the video at all, but once you get passed to effects, this is really a great song.

Hey Wirebox.

What are you listening to? (albums, soundtracks, etc.)

Note: I just realized how cretinous it is for me to implement a "question" as an entry especially because I am doing it sans musical post. However, I can't help but ask. I'll remove once I'm satiated.

Björk | Crystalline


Björk | Crystalline


Fantastic new song and video, "Crystalline," by Björk released on June 28th. I need to listen to her songs more often! Also... I am not quite sure how to categorize Björk's music... She's very eclectic. I guess this song sounded electronic, so I'll list it as such.

Loney Dear - My Heart


New album coming out from Polyvinyl Record Co. -- Loney Dear's Hall Music. Below is a link to the first track of the album, "My Heart". The beginning doesn't seem as interesting, but the pace certainly picks up and develops into an ethereal and vivacious piece. In an odd sense, the bells in the background remind me of either a church or a wedding. Or a wedding in a church.

And guess what? The man is Swedish (name is Emil Svanängen). I'm obsessed with these Swedish musicians!

You can download the first track, "My Heart", mp3 for free here: http://iheartvinyl.polyvinylrecords.com/em/myheart (courtesy of Polyvinyl).

Here's his website, for good measure.

Chuckie Akenz - Reality

My friend sent me this song yesterday. The first thing I noticed was that he used the song Saeglopur by Sigur Ros in the background. The first time I heard him, he was all gangsta and all of that from his songs "You Got Beef" and I was just thinking man this guy is hardcore lol. At least in this song he got better lyrically and soften down a bit haha. Hate it/like it, it's all good.

Plushgun - Dancing In A Minefield (Official Video) Zweiohrküken



In the event you suffer from a torrential downpour or are located adjacent to a hurricane, this is the song to listen to as you are being swept away.

Kleerup ft. Lykke Li - Until We Bleed



a great song to relax to. The melodic beats by Kleerup and the soothing voice of Lykke Li provide a chilling yet numbing effect.

The Mountain Goats - No Children



"So much I loved you. So much I wish you would die now."

It's a happy song.

"Actor Out Of Work" by St Vincent

Reminds me of Modest Mouse covering La Roux.

Young Blood by The Naked and the Famous

This song reminds me of "Kids" by MGMT. It isn't the most original thing ever made, but it is pretty catchy.

From The Jade Motel yet again. Sexy and effectively distracting while I study for the NCLEX. Probably best not to listen to songs you want to dance to when you study.

The Album Leaf - Falling from the Sun


The Album Leaf | Falling from the Sun

One of the songs that hit home for me at the Album Leaf concert in Detroit Bar last week.

Great show. I did not know any other songs except for "Always for You" (thanks to Mark), but I was pleasantly surprised by their ambient, mellow hums. Most of the songs are instrumental, but even without dialogue the songs evoke strong emotions and feelings from the past.

"Calgary" by Bon Iver

I started an art/music/film/video games/literature blog called NO PIECE. I hope to expand in to different subjects like health and food, introduce contributing writers [especially for "art," "health," and "food," haha], and turn the whole hot mess into a cohesive webzine serving under my "indie"/underground webmagnate. (No seriously, click that link.)

I'm not doing this as means to undermine The Wire Box (that was the mission of This is Cereal, muhahahaha). If anything, The Wire Box was my inspiration for No Piece: A webzine that, although only consists of me, has varying opinions and multiple authors/writers. Perhaps I will fine some way to integrate The Wire Box suggestions. We'll see.

While there are many authors for this blog, there isn't a proportionate amount of active members. (A review of the past four weeks shows at least 3-4 different users including me.) Ergo, I'm just giving a shout out for all you oldies or absentees to come back around and start posting on this site. Not to say that the current music suggestions are bad (they are actually really good considering the amount of active members), but it would be nice to see more "faces."

Self-indulgent rant aside, Bon Iver's Bon Iver, Bon Iver is going to be the first album I review. I wanted to put up "Perth" but YouTube keeps taking down videos featuring the song. "Calgary" is just as fine. The album is incredible.
