Music bites

Yep I'm back already because it's late here and I'm killing time before I can have my Pyjamas back out of the tumble dryer and go to bed - my mum washed them even though they were clean... Whatever, anyway, in less than a week I'll be back home and I'll write about some stuff I bought here and some stuff I've been up to (I'm aware that writing about things I bought will be pretty boring for people who live in the states but for people travelling here it could be useful... ).
But yet again the point of this post is music.
 Some time ago someone asked me what kind of music I listen to, and then every time I've been asked this I've been reluctant to answer. Because, much like people judge you based on your appearance, if you tell them one song/genre of music you like, you are judged by it. If your favourite genre is pop but you say you like, oh I don't know... Meshuggah, then you're judged as a metalhead etc. Therefore the point of this is to showcase a big collection of various songs, genres and styles that I like.

Commence music heavy post:

Kerli Koiv - Most people who know Kerli know her from when she released her song `Tea party` in relation to Alice in Wonderland. But, in my personal opinion, that's one of her worst songs. Her older stuff is a lot more..Her.

Kill Hannah - These guys are/were a small band from Chicago - I'm unsure as to whether they're still together or not but they did bring out a newer album around a year or two ago. This isn't necessarily one of my favourite songs of theirs, but it's one of the only ones with an MV because they only came to attention by Kerrang! about...three years ago?!
They were one of my first gigs, and they came out to the floor to meet the fans, sign stuff and take photos, so they were interactive too!


Lyn - I have no idea if this is Lyn's only song or not but I just love it. Her voice is lovely and I really like the way Haegeum's voice sounds in the middle too. It's kinda weird, she looks like she could be Kim Hyungjoon's mom or something O_o

Bell Nuntita - Thai pop is that underrated that it's next to impossible to find Thai to English translations for most songs, especially if you want romanization type lyrics as well. Bell is actually one of my favourites: I saw her while trawling the internet while browsing Korea's got talent videos, which led me to Thailand's got talent where Bell appeared as a transgender singing both female voice and male baritone. Check out her audition, it's pretty interesting. She's so gorgeous too!

Candy Mafia - Candy mafia is one of those groups you just like to listen to when you're in a silly mood and want something fun.

Clazzi - A member of Clazziquai project. CP make such awesome chilled out music, perfect for doing homework to.

Culcha Candela - A somewhat tacky number that my friend and I used to enjoy when we were actually supposed to be learning German, not singing it...

Marilyn Manson - Just in case all you Manson fans forgot about the lovable guy then this is one of his most recent songs from his album `Born Villain` - if you enjoy testing your comfort zone, watch his "teaser" for the album.
Maskinen - An interwebz frond of mine showed me Maskinen, and I can't stop listening to it! `Alla som inte dansar` is another good tune.
