Quiet Village...Just Blowin' Minds Left 'n Right


I don't understand this. As I listen to what precious little I have of Quiet Village, I am reminded that music has no limits. It truly can open gates of understanding that are previously kept hidden. GorillavsBear pointed me to this, and for that, my greatest thanks.
What is Quiet Village, you may ask?
Well, the straight answer is: I don't know.

As far as I can gather, they are a "DJ" (I use that term loosely) Duo from the United Kingdom who make lo-fi-dub-world-trance-hip-hop-genre-mind-bending music.
Honestly, to describe the otherworldy sound of Quiet Village is a mammoth task equivalent to explicating the Hopelandic lyrics to Sigur Ros' ().
Which is what I first thought of when I heard Quiet Village. Imagine Sigur Ros in dubstep form with samples. Their ability to conjure up pictures with sound is equatable. But in truth, I'll let the musics do the talkings:

These are tracks I scrounged from their upcoming
Debut LP Silent Movie:

mp3: "Free Rider"
mp3: "Pacific Rhythm"

You also MUST hear the song "Pillow Talk" on their myspace.
If I rated my musical selections, this would garner my highest accolade possible.
I really am excited beyond reason for this LP.

Madsen

I know nothing about this band because they speak German...WIKAPEDIA COME TO ME!!!!
Ah, info.

Madsen is a German rock band that hails from Priesseck, a section of Clenze in the Wendland. Three of the members are brothers with the surname Madsen, hence the band's name.

Their music combines elements of Pop, Rock, and Punk together with lyrics in German. They released their debut album in 2005 and reached #23 on the German music charts.

All that is to say...This video for their song "Goodbye Logik" is just the catchiest thing I've heard in a long long long long long long time.
I sing the chorus to myself.
I sound stupid.
The chorus in German is:

"Goodbye Logik
Alles kommt anders als geplant
Goodbye Logik
Mein Herz besiegt meinen Verstand
Goodbye Logik
Es ist nichts mehr wie es war
Goodbye Logik
Mein Herz besiegt meinen Verstand "

-which in turn translates ruffly to........WAIT! THERES NO ENGLISH TRANSLATION?????
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well.
I love it love it love it.
No mp3 though, working on it.

Heres the video:

Madsen: "Goodbye Logik"



Keep up the fight, Madsen.
You'll be regular Rammsteins yet.

------------------------------------------

UPDATE!!!
I think that the line
"Mein Herz besiegt meinen Verstand"
Actually means something like:
"My Heart attacks (maybe destroys???) my mind"

Thank you Rammstein and Tele, for pouring useless German into my brain.
If anybody that reads this figures the chorus out,
comment on it.

That is all.

-------------------------------------------

UPDATE NUMERO DOS!!!

After searching for the CD for about a day and a half....joy.
I have found it.
Which means free mp3's fo youse guyse.

Here's Me Favoritas:

mp3: "Goodbye Logik"
mp3: "Du Schreibst Geschichte"
mp3: "Ein Sturm"

I love stuff like this...

Black Kids Get RRREMIXED

This is just fun fun fun.
I love the Black Kids and their little four-song EP that they put out,
but they need to get a move on in the full LP department. So I they just
kind of fell of the ol' radar for a little while. But now come the sweetness...
The Twelves remixed "I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You".


Behold! DISCO COMETH TO THE BLACK KIDS!
I love this. It makes me wonder why people dont do this more often...the sugary
synth, the trippy vocal, the stomp yo feetz and clap yo handz beatz...great.

mp3: "I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You (Twelves Remix)"

Just breathe in, breathe out, and DANCE DANCE DANCE!
