    Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger hand style...

    I'm on a bit of a Daft Punk tip at the moment and I'm re-listening to the Discovery album which is top notch and provides the basis for the Interstella 5555  DVD.
     
    It's also one of the reasons why I like this group to much as they do do some innovative things.  Following on from this the dudes at the Geeknights Podcast provided this You Tube video as their things of the day.  It's top notch and very impressive!

    Fairytale of New York

    The best Chrimbo song in the world... ever... probably. Never really known the lyrics So I'd thought I'd post these up.

    It was Christmas Eve babe
    In the drunk tank
    An old man said to me, won't see another one
    And then he sang a song
    'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'
    And I turned my face away
    And dreamed about you

    Got on a lucky one
    Came in eighteen to one
    I've got a feeling
    This year's for me and you
    So happy Christmas
    I love you baby
    I can see a better time
    When all our dreams come true

    They've got cars
    Big as bars
    They've got rivers of gold
    But the wind goes
    Right through you
    It's no place for the old
    When you first took my hand
    On a cold Christmas Eve
    You promised me
    Broadway was waiting for me

    You were handsome
    You were pretty
    Queen of New York City
    When the band finished playing
    They howled out for more
    Sinatra was swinging,
    All the drunks they were singing
    We kissed on a corner
    Then danced through the night

    The boys of the NYPD choir
    Were singing 'Galway Bay'
    And the bells were ringing
    Out for Christmas Day

    You're a bum
    You're a punk
    You're an old slut on junk
    Lying there almost dead on a drip
    In that bed

    You scum bag
    You maggot
    You cheap lousy faggot*
    Happy Christmas your arse
    I pray God
    It's our last

    The boys of the NYPD choir
    Were singing 'Galway Bay'
    And the bells were ringing
    Out for Christmas Day

    I could have been someone
    Well so could anyone
    You took my dreams
    From me when I first found you
    I kept them with me babe
    I put them with my own
    Can't make it all alone
    I've built my dreams around you

    The boys of the NYPD choir
    Were singing 'Galway Bay'
    And the bells were ringing
    Out for Christmas Day

    Talking about YouTube - "Heavenly Star" by Genki Rockets

    I was listening to a recent Post of the BroadcastGamer Podcast (v. good btw) and the closing music was by a group called the Genki Rockets

    The song, Heavenly star... and in the style of Jack Black in High Fidelity... It's really good.  Check out the song + vid from the You Tube link below.  

    YouTube - "Heavenly Star" by Genki Rockets

    Some may also know from the Lumines II video game - don't know what version, and to be honest I'm not going to get into that at the moment...

    Warning! It's one of those songs that gets on your "generic MP3 player" and probably wont come off for some time...
