Song of the Day - Make Me Wanna

Girl Talk - Make Me Wanna from Victor Espeland on Vimeo.

You know that I have love for Girl Talk.
I love the layering of samples over samples to create entirely new works. Amazing stuff.

Then, when the visual elements of the spliced videos are there as well... wow. It's eye candy. And Girl Talk doesn't make those videos. They are fan made.

This song has the ability to calm me down and make me feel centered when few other things can.



Thank you, Death Cab, for being there for me.

Indie Scoop News: Free Nada Surf show tonight...

I'm not kidding. Nada Surf (one of my faves) is performing a free show tonight on their YouTube channel here.

Here's the relevant press release:
"Today is a BIG day for us! To celebrate the release of our brand new album, The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy, we are having a special show tonight at one of our favorite venues - the Bowery Ballroom in NYC - and YouTube will be streaming the performance LIVE at 10 PM EST!"

Anyone interested in coming over to watch tonight? Hit me up!

Merry Christmas from Indie Actuary

I know I have a favorite Christmas song, but what's yours?

There's a particular line that has almost always moved me, and this year is no different.

"Through the years, we all will be together, if the Fates allow..."

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" performed by Judy Garland for the film, Meet Me in St. Louis.


Amazing.

Merry Christmas,
Indie Actuary

ps. My best of 2011 list is coming together, but may have to wait until the beginning of 2012 to be released.
