"Let go"

now here's a mantra i often find myself mumbling.

let go...

just let go. all that shit that you're holding inside that's stressing you out? let go. all those fears? all those insecurities? let go. the girl who got away, the future you were promised but didn't get, the persistent pangs for those whom you've lost?

LET GO.

Zoe johnston and the new above and beyond

it is no secret that i get an instant mind boner anytime i hear kickass female vocals. i don't know what it is, maybe i didn't get enough love from my mommy when i was a boy or something... but i do dig me some chica song.

the latest from above and beyond does not disappoint. the group therapy album is full of female badassery, starting with zoe johnston (featured here). rather than post the whole song (which may be taken down any day or two by the music pirate nazis), here's an official sneak peak from above and beyond's account:

it's vocal tracks like that that make me think, well, maybe there are such things as angels.

nah, i'm fucking kidding.

but the song is stellar.

OceanLab -- "Come Home"

musically, i go through phases. lots of 'em. one week it's all phillip glass. the next i'm focusing on dimebag pantera riffs. after that, puccini.

and right now, i can't stop getting a hard-on from oceanlab's "come home" off the sirens of the sea remixed album.

it's been six long, treacherous yet ecstatic years that i stopped rollin' and livin' that unrated club life -- the one that got me in so much trouble...

but goddamn it if i don't still love the music from the scene.

i can never get enough vocal trance. if above & beyond could hook up with max cavalera and dolores o'riordan to create the funkiest trance mix ever i would definitely give up a nut for that.
