New album for 2012

What perfect time to clear some cobwebs on this old blog than by announcing a new album?

What?!? That's right! I've been working on this one for a while, and now present you with:



Mainly a crossbreed of drum & bass, dubstep and breabeat with bits of rock, jazz, metal and other things showing up now and then.
Get your bass speakers on max!
With the exclusive performance of MC T-Tym.

Polyrhytms in pop music

I tend to avoid the music in the radio; it's derivative ballads and reggaeton, overproduced and uninspired music of all sorts, dance-rock-rap, all the things under the 'pop' umbrella term. Sure, there are amazing songs now and then which are pop and not all pop is inherently bad, but most is inherently... stupid.

It's probably just the fault of the people who listen to things and vote. ANYWAY, sometimes interesting things do get through.

I'm not a J-Pop fan at all. But this to me seemed awesome. You know why? No, it's not because prettygirlsstupidcostumeseverythingprettyprettycutekawaiiblargh, but because of that genius bridge in the song that sounds like NOTHING ANYWHERE ON ANY POP CHART AROUND THE WORLD.

Note: it starts at around 1:37.



I guess that the 'Poririzumu' (Polyrhythm) bridge is appropriate, something about love being like two different rhythms playing at the same time. Moving on from that, Marty Friedman approves this song. Therefore, he made a cover with the awesomeness only he can give:



I think I would have liked it more if that crazy part had been used more than just in the bridge of the song and in the end. Or make the end as beat-heavy as the first bridge. Oh well, it's a start. I didn't like how lifeless the voices sounded. But hey, most pop music tends to be lifeless!
