The Merrymakers Will Never Be Found

Harvey Danger - Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?

I pride myself on various areas of study but music has never been one of them.  I don’t make music recommendations based on an argument but just out of my desire to share my love of a song or artist or album with another person.  When it comes to music, there’s no point in arguing because I won’t win the argument and I don’t really care if I do.  Music is so primal and hits a level so deep, that sometimes a rational argument isn’t enough.

With all that in mind, I have always loved the band “Harvey Danger”.

Trailer #3 for THE BEATLES: ROCK BAND

I’m not sure if it’s possible to make a bad trailer for a game revolving around playing “Beatles” songs.  Either way, the trailers for “The Beatles: Rock Band” have me trying to accelerate the motion of the earth so it will be September 9th already.

Oh, and they finally give a brief look at the one song I wanted in a “Beatles: Rock Band” game: “Helter Skelter”.

Opening Cinematic From THE BEATLES: ROCK BAND

This opening cinematic is better than all of Julie Taymor’s “Across the Universe”.

“Once”: Still Great

Ever since it won the Oscar for Best Song, I haven’t been able to get it out of my head:

“Falling Slowly” by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova

You’re Busy for a Few Hours on August 8th

Because you’re seeing Pineapple Express. Below is the red-band trailer, so technically NSFW because your job sucks.

And if you’re wondering what was that awesome song featured in the trailer, it’s “Paper Planes” by M.I.A. which I have also embedded below for your listening pleasure.

A Week Under the Covers: Scala & Kolancy Brothers

I’ll wrap up this week with a slew of covers by one group. To quote their official website Scala & Kolancy Brothers are “a youth choir from Aarschot, Belgium, roughly sixty teenage girls, directed by two talented brothers, and enjoy national and international recognition.” Their game is taking alternative music and then doing it chorus-style. It’s not really a capella because they also use instruments and that’s good enough for me to make a distinction between them and the hundreds of college a capella groups around the country that make a play on the words “treble” and “trouble”.

I came across Scala when I was listening to every cover The Hype Machine had for Radiohead’s “Creep”. When it’s a lonely night and you have no one to talk to, it’s a song you can listen to on repeat till you just burst into tears. But then I heard Scala’s cover and when I saw they had other songs, I forgot all about how lonely I was and instead just jumped into their melancholy and haunting voices. Their music isn’t a downer but rather a captivating way to hear familiar songs. Here are eight of them for your listening pleasure:

“Colorblind” by Scala & Kolancy Brothers (originally by Counting Crows)

“Creep” by Scala & Kolancy Brothers (originally by Radiohead)

“Exit Music (For A Film)” by Scala & Kolancy Brothers (originally by Radiohead)

“Heartbeats” by Scala & Kolancy Brothers (originally by The Knife)

“Everything In Its Right Place” by Scala & Kolancy Brothers (originally by Radiohead)

“Teenage Dirtbag” by Scala & Kolancy Brothers (originally by Wheatus)

“Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Scala & Kolancy Brothers (originally by Nirvana)

“Yellow” by Scala & Kolancy Brothers (originally by Coldplay)
