Open letter to Simon Pegg

Dear Simon Pegg,

I am writing from a very sensitive place in my heart. The same place that you have in your heart regarding star wars. We protect it because it bears the most raw nerves. It houses feelings of turmoil and happiness and carefully curated wookiepedia facts. 

I happened to read about your dislike for the prequels and I respect that opinion. I understand that since this is a sensitive thing for both you and me and our feelings are strong about it. However, recently there had been a new interview in which you mentioned about not respecting the people who like the prequels. If this is a byproduct of a our chain-letter-Chinese-whisper-new-media, I understand. However, if you really think that way, I would like to tell you as a fan of the prequels I am hurt. The blow is stronger because I love and repect you as movie maker and I love all of your movies. I admire and aspire to be like you. It's a matter of conflict for me because I also love the prequels. I just wanted to remind you about the great things the prequels have given us: pod races, Ben quadranaro, sebulba, qui gon jin, maul, pod races, underwater gungan city, GREVIOUS!  Battle on mustafar! I saw these things as a doe eyed kid and it helped me find the original trilogy. I was mesmerized by them. I understand you had the same feelings when you saw the sandcrawler, death star, Grand Moff tarkin,  Vader, Metal bikini leia,Endor, chewie and Han! 

The purpose of this letter is not convince you of how awesome the prequels are. I don't want you to respect me either because I'm a stranger to you. I would like to just ask you to be kind to the people who do enjoy the prequels. 

You are still a motivation and a role model. Please make a new Cornetto movie. 

Yours sincerely, 

A prequel enjoyer

P.S: I'm so excited for the new movie!!!!!

Sonic Withdrawal.

 

The National dropped a new album last year called High Violet.I was mildly addicted to it’s song called Blood Buzz Ohio.It is one of the few established Indie bands like The Pains of Being Pure At Heart and Dirty Projectors and The Black Keys.Being an established bands speaks for being reviewed and written about in non obscure publications.It becomes more likely for you to stumble upon them in print than on the sonic landscape.Thereby planting the seed of their hyped image in your head.It was for this reason that I resisted the National.Although last year,I pledged upon gathering every major indie album that released,instead of reading about them and forming my own opinion.This quest turned out quite fruitful because I finally got around to listening to  High Violet and fell in love with Blood Buzz Ohio.All this forgotten fondness for the National has regurgitated itself from  the scrambled remains of a corrupted hard drive by the arrival of their latest video for the song called Conversation 16.What makes this video even more special is that it features Mr. Sterling of the Sterling and Cooper fame from Mad Men-that is right I refer to people by their screen names-and the only-clingy-fanboy-girl of the Flight of the Choncords.

I used to follow the Pied Piper.

It’s been a while, since I wrote about music.Earlier when I had little ambition and no direction to pursue I found myself drawn in to an obsessive and demanding habit of playlist making.They were called the cybercrumbs series. Things are busy and taxing now. I have gone without the first three months of the year without a playlist.I’ve had Teenage Dream on loop #GuiltyPleasure.You can check my last.fm stats to be sure.I miss the old habit.I’m trying my best to accommodate it again.

Presenting cybercrumbs10mar11

It consists of the usual unheardof assortment from a couple of music blogs I follow.

It also consists of an Alex Turner EP that is also the soundtrack to a movie called Submarine.

Here’s the tracklisting.

It's hard to get around the wind

Stuck on the puzzle (intro)

electrocution by nada surf.

wouldn't mind if i could find a little electrocution....wire's hot the light is red...a little electrocution..
always end up listening to less music in summer than i normally do but summer makes me pay attention to all the details in the songs ....likes word verses...guitar licks..background vocals...all the little bits that shape the song.
electrocution by nada surf is a brilliant and lyrically fascinating...give it a spin.

New "someone still loves you boris yetslin"

Every now and then there comes along a song that makes you play it on loop.this week or may be a little before since, that song for me is "sink/let it sway"..by someone still loves boris yeltsin.they're an outfit from missourie usa..and you're right they've named their band after the first russian president Boris Yeltsin. This song is beautiful and lyrically simple and has the inexplicable power to make you throw your hair down and sway about like sonically bellowed drapes in audible bliss.I first read about sslyby on a music blog I avidly follow, going by the name of"weallwantsomeonetoshoutfor" The above mentioned song was aggregated on my rss feed and made it to my number one played songs in a week.It also made me look up their previous album "broom" and has left me in feverish anticipation for their new one.
I would like to thank the Internet for helping me discover such good music.
Here is where you can sample sslyby
