Do you know what my two favourite bands “The Polyphonic Spree” and “DJ Mangoo” have in common?

Have a listen:

Polyphonic Spree

Mangoo

Well, they both use play French Horn in their songs.

DJ Mangoo’s rendition is synthesized, while The Polyphonic Spree actually blows this thing! That’s not the only common denominator. I find that I really really like upbeat songs, no matter what the lyrics say, spanning across different genres and cultures.

By the end of the year, I wish to be in possession of a Korg Koassilator 2010 “noise box”. It is for those who are too lazy to learn the drum beats, the guitar rifts and the piano keys, but still want to make melodious music!

I went to Owl City’s wiki page, and he was using a Macbook Pro hooked up to some Korg devices and synths. I was .. deeply in awe! One man show producing such great music. The Postal Service is good too, with their Such Great Heights song. But I got 2 songs stuck in my head:

The Rolling Stones – Colors

Polyphonic Spree – Hanging Around

I was watching a documentary about Black Holes where astrophysicist talked about the theory of the big (the heavens and gravity) and theory of the small (atoms / energy) with totally contradicting laws.. and black holes just sits in between! There’s this one equation which the solution works out to be the summation of infinities!!!

Ok enough of geek talk. Lets have a good, good weekend ahead!!! What are you up to?
