Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack

Well, I liked the soundtrack for Slumdog Millionaire so much, I went out and bought it today! I'm listening to it right now, and I still love it. This one's definitely going onto my iPod!

Emigrate

I have been after this album for about two years now. I finally got it for Christmas from my bro! I've been so excited, but I was also worried - what if Emigrate didn't hold up to the hype I had built up for it these last few years?

Luckily, I need not have worried. Emigrate rocks!!!! From the moment the first song, "Emigrate" starts, you know the album is going to be great. You can hear Richard Z. Kruspe-Bernstein's guitar, famous from Rammstein, right off the bat. There's the expected heavier music, but with a different sound (this isn't Rammstein afterall). And then around song 4, "Let Me Break In My Tears," the album changes to somewhat softer music. But it's still amazing all the way through the album.

And then the last song hits you. I have the premium edition, which has two extra songs, "Blood" and "Help Me." And "Help Me" is an absolutely amazing song! The music is different, but spectacular. His singing is a little different, but it totally works with the song! I can't really describe it any better than this, so I'm just going to recommend that everyone checks it out here.

Mr. Something Something

To celebrate exams being over, I went out last night to The Apollo to see Mr. Something Something. I thought they were fantastic, along with the local band who opened for them! They play music with a fun latin beat. I picked up a few of their cd's and signed up for their mailing list. I'm so glad I got to see them on their way back home to Toronto!
