A quick update!
I’ve not been able to post much lately, since I’m too busy and have been without internet for a while, but that’s going to change! I’m first going to take a lovely break from everything and I’m making a trip through Southern India, which I’m very excited about and I’ll write about the Indian culture and all my experiences when I get back in December.
Jager Yoga by CSS
These days I can’t get Jager Yoga by CSS out of my head! I knew CSS from Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death from Above and I thought that was very funky and cool. Now I’m a bit tired of it, tbh, but that’s just because I’ve played it too much. Every now and then I change the songs I listen to, that way I keep discovering new music and never get really sick of a song. I also discover which songs I really love, since I keep them in my playlist, like most of my fav punk bands, for example, The Offspring can never do anything wrong in my eyes!
Anyway, Jager Yoga is cool. It has a great drum solo at the start, which gets you going and it bursts with energy. Then the bass kicks in, which is just excellent, after which the guitar follows and it builds up from that. When Lovefoxxx starts the vocals the song changes pace, which is wonderful and her unique sound keeps you interested. I have no clue what they’re singing! I can never sing along with any of CSS’s songs, since I simply can’t imitate the vocals. They apparently put in a lot of Portuguese stuff as well, since they’re from Brazil, but I don’t speak Portuguese! I don’t care though. Lovefoxx sometimes sounds like a provocative zombie. Provocative since she seems to be mocking whoever listens to the songs and zombie-like since she’s very monotone. I love it! I wished they’d make this into a Guitar Hero song!

As The World Turns
I’ve been watching As The World Turns for over 15 years. Yes, I started very early on in my life and I taught myself English through this soap opera. I’ve not watched it continuously, but I keep going back to it. It’s a lot better than most Dutch soaps, like Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden, and agreed it’s not exactly high art, but when it comes to soap opera As The World Turns rocks.

Fools Gold by Mouthwash
This is an oldy for me, but I still love the song. Mouthwash is an illusive band from London with a ska-punk sound. A friend of Daan’s former band (Repozal) had downloaded some of their songs and played it for us. I immediately fell in love with Fools Gold. After a while I went searching for more info on Mouthwash, but only found the above featured video on youtube. The quality is bad to say the least, but it gave me proof of their existence. After a few months I got hold of their album, 1000 dreams, through ebay. and I still listen to it regularly. Below you can get an idea of the intro of Fools Gold, not performed by any of the band members, but by a fan:
