So, some of my flist is into really, really great music. It's varied, it's cosmopolitan, it's everything from poppy to angry and back. Some of you, however, have really feeble taste in music. Not your fault! You just haven't been exposed to the right stuff. Maybe your moms and dads only ever listened to Lionel Richie, idk.
BUT I AM HERE TO FIX THAT.
My newest project is called Music You've Never Heard Of, and I'm about to open your minds. Cool? Cool.
Let's start with Winterkids.
( Winterkids? )
( So who are they? )
( Pictures, please? )
( Can I hear their music? Do they have videos? )
( How can I follow up on them on my own? )
( So, are you gonna let me download their album or what? )
Enjoy! |

I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WRITE THIS WHOLE MEGILEH;
Or, Gabe Is A Jew, A Miniprimer.
Part One: The Superficial Evidence.
AKA some pictures that make it obvious if you know how to recognize the symptoms.
( Cut for your convinience. )
And so, now that we've established that Gabe looks like a Jew, let's take a look at some thing he does (without explicitly stating the words "I am a Jew") to display his identity.
Part Two: Dispute This, Assholes.
( Click for JewBling! )
Part Three: Quotes and Other Obvious Actions.
( OMFG I LOVE HIM ) |

OKAY, KEVIN M. KIRKER.
First, some links:
MySpace
Official website
Okay, so he added me on MySpace two days ago. His picture advertised him as the "king of harpcore" NOT A TYPO, so of course I had to check him out. And he was AWESOME. Like Final Fantasy and Sparrow House in one HI, EMILY, YOUR INDIE IS SHOWING, all melancholy and sweet and melodic. IT WAS WONDERFUL.
So I checked out his website, where he offers his album in mp3 format free of charge. YOU SHOULD GO DOWNLOAD IT. IT'S EIGHT SONGS OF HEARTBREAKING WIN.
It's really, really sad though. It's been a while since any piece of art took me by the hand and walked me through my own emotions rather than those of the artist- while his album is composed of specific details and not generalisations so they don't really apply to the listener, he makes the situation so vivid and fully realized that you can't not relate. He's really young- I don't know how young, but when he met the girl in the songs (Emma) he was only 17, my age. He's aware of how young he is, though. It's cute.
And his contact page, which says "meet me at the swings, december 22nd, at 11pm"? Is cute at first, but then you hear the album (or the car is coming closer, anyway) and it's suddenly heartbreaking.
ANYWAY, LOOK AT HIS LINKS. "www.allaboutfrogs.org/ sup frogs" KJEWKJGFHFGSDI I LOVE HIM.
It's a concept album, so you should listen in order. If you want to hear half a track to see if it's something you're into, I'd reccomend just as it arrives, it leaves or that's my way of keeping track of time. SO GOOD.
Anyway, I cried a lot listening to this album (maybe because it was 2 AM before a 9 AM exam and I'd been in bed since 11:30 unable to sleep but aghh) and it's really pretty and is mostly harp and vocals and I liked it a lot and you should too. Plus, it's legitimately free. GO DOWNLOAD IT.
EDIT: I just noticed that none of his songs have choruses!?
EDIT REDUX: ( I'm including some photos from his 'pictures' page that you should really see to SEAL IN THE LOVE AND WORSHIP OF HOW CUTE HE IS. )
DO YOU LOVE HIM YET?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? |

| Gabe Saporta is Srz Bznz, Yo. |
[Feb. 11th, 2008|09:09 am] |
So here's the thing. Gabe Saporta is completely out of his mind. He is cracky and jokey and hilarious and totally casual about, like, everything.
Right?
Right?
Wrong.
HE'S A POOR IMMIGRANT VEGAN GANGSTER NEW JERSEY JEW WHO'S SECRETLY INTO POLITICS AND THINKS "IT'S WARMER IN THE BASEMENT" IS POETRY.
Recipe for Gabe Saporta:
Ingredients:
- South American heritage
- New Jersey scene
- Judaism
- Fugazi
- Justin Timberlake
- Bikini Kill
- Tequila
- Cuddles
- Robots
- Derek Zoolander
- Sweet dances moves
- EMOOOOOOTION
Equipment:
- Pete Wentz
- Basement
- Cobra
Mix Judaism, South American heritage, Jersey scene in a bowl until as smooth as a Latin boy's dance moves. Add heavy dose of Derek Zoolander and Justin Timberlake, but to balance out the flavor give it some Fugazi and Bikini Kill and EMOOOOOOTION so it's not too sugary. Let it set in a basement for a year or two. Add tequila, cuddles, robots and sweet dance moves. Feed it to Pete Wentz and let it get bit by a cobra. Enjoy!
Delicious!
