Deadmau5: I Remember

It's a late Saturday night and it's just dead quiet. While I was doing homework I thought, "Well, I can't let this fine night go to waste." If you get what I mean, listening to this song is the way to go. This song has this fast paced beat but also have that calm, tranquil feeling that makes your ears satisfied. 

Joel Zimmerman, also known as deadmau5, has a way of creating and combining electronic/trance/techno music. Now hold on, why does every album he released there's always have that weird looking mouse? It's all from Joel's stage name, "deadmau5". One day a moused crawled to his computer and just died in front of him. He first thought of "Dead Mouse" but he then shortened it to "deadmau5" In 2006, he released his first album called "Get Scraped".  In 2008, Joel released another album called "Random Album Title" where the song I Remember became a popular song. His recent album which was released 2009, is "For Lack a Better Name". The song Ghosts N Stuff is recently the number one song right now.

Colors by The Pass

I'll be honest, the first time I ever heard this was on a car commercial. But come on, how many of us have never heard a good song while watching a Toyota cruise through a meadow? No one? Yeah, that's what I thought.

So, the story of the Pass goes something like this: Kyle Peters and Will Roberts met and became friends in high school in New Jersey and played in a couple of garage bands together. Will moved to Louisville where he met the rest of the group; Brian Healey and Neil Lucas. Unsatisfied with separate projects Kyle and Will decided to start a band and Kyle moved to Louisville. Strongly influenced by the dance beats of Justice, LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk, and an affinity for 80s synth pop, The Pass was born.

This is possibly the best song by Nightwish. I absolutely adore this album. The video is a tad cheesy, but I love melodrama.

This band was formed in Kitee, Finland. Although still not completely mainstream in the US, they are the most prominent band to hail from Finland. Formed in 1996, they are categorized as a symphonic metal band. Their music has been used in soundtracks in precious few movies. Nightwish has sold more than 7million copies of their albums world wide. Awards include 1 silver, 23 gold, and 36 platnium.

Nightwish's next album is still untitled and due to be released in March 2011. Studio sessions begin for it on October 15th of 2010.
