I thought there was a virtue in always being cool

Was bored this morning and looking for something to do so I knocked together these two Flaming Lips Wallpapers. Constructed earlier today from scans of the cover from Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.

Figured I needed some new desktop decor and since I’ve been listening to that album all week it might as well be Lips themed.
Anyway, Enjoy.

Musical Breakdown Vol. 1

Friday, August 5th, 2005

Thought I would upload a couple of the tracks I made earlier this summer. Just a few loops over my own drum patterns but they work pretty darn good if still somewhat unfinished. On hearing them with my ears again tonight I found them to be of reasonable quality so I thought I would make them available here for download.

One’s a laid back, hip-hop style-o-number [3.76 MB] and the other is a drum and bass joint with a nice latin riff [2.53 MB].

Let me know what you think, who knows if I get enough comments I might just make some more.

Kaze Wo Atsumete

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

I was listening to the awe inspiring soundtrack for Lost in Translation today when I realised I was singing along to a track without having a clue what I was singing about so I decided to look up the lyrics for “Kaze Wo Atsumete” by Japanese folk band ‘Happy End‘ to see if I couldn’t find a translation. I wasn’t the only one who had this idea apparently :)

Lost in Translation is an amazing film. The scene where Bob Harris is being filmed doing the commercial for Suntory Whisky is really funny and I always wanted to know what it was the director said when Bob was being coached for the camera and thanks to this website I can.
