C4 posted an Arcade Fire cover by this fella’ (Maxence Cyrin) a few days ago, so I decided to check him out and I quite like his cover of Where Is My Mind?; I feel like it could be my theme song haha. The video’s kinda cute too. One thing that pisses me off are the little fills he has added that make it sound like a generic, arpeggiated GCSE piano composition; it’s nice apart from that though.
In other news, I think I might be a psychopath. Haha.. But seriously..

No Cars Go (Arcade Fire Cover) - Maxence Cyrin
Just discovered Maxence Cyrin in my recent determination to find “study appropriate” music, a Parisian who does piano covers of artists such as Arcade Fire, the Pixies (will post that soon), and even Justice!
I’ve fallen in love with the songs, they are so great and really bring the original songs to another level, definitely worth a listen to. Now only if it wasn’t so hard to find the mp3 files…

Udy has been playing this song for the last few weeks in his room and car and it’s finally grown on me. It’s a cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps by Santana from his album Guitar Heaven which came out some time at the end of 2010, featuring India Arie and Yo-Yo Ma (what a legend). I really like the female vocals, think they really suit the song.

In other news, I need to learn a lot of maths in the next 6 days; I’m a bit frightened. Also, I went to the gym and rock climbing and now I think I may never walk again; even if I can, I don’t think I will want to because it will just hurt too much.

Morning Benders - Mason Jar
Absolutely loving this song right now and the Morning Benders as a whole, they make such beautiful music!
They also make some amazing covers:
Covering Lovefool by the Cardigans.
They also cover Dreams by Fleetwood Mac and it’s really great too… ahhh in love

Whatever You Like - Anya Marina
I hate T.I but I kinda like this cover, whatcha think? I like her voice, it’s kind of dreamy but also really sexy haha. Yeah I’m really bored in France, I’m just tanning and reading and skyping with Udy. Gonna start going for jogs now ‘cause I have nothing else to do. We’re off to Carcasonne in a few days which should be nice. Road trip, hurrah! C4, how’s work been going?

‘Instead of carving up the wall
Why don’t you open up? We’ll talk
I am ready, I am ready for a fall’
I really like Lissy Trullie’s cover of Ready for the Floor by Hot Chip.

C4 wishes she was artsy, is addicted to lolcat videos on Youtube and lives in Singapore but is currently interning in Italy; F4 is a science nerd, currently addicted to CoH and in London.
Both aspire to be more like Karen O, speak English, (at least a bit of) French and Chinese, are addicted to video games, have older sisters, love old cameras, good films, gaming and postcards and have the same music sensibilities. This blog is a means for them to share music and other crap whilst living in different countries.

But I bought Ray Ban aviators yesterday. Like ‘em?
