Here's my Friday forte of what I've been playing all week /slash/ been obsessed with lately. Enjoy!
THE MEETING PLACES on our own download
I've been obsessed with this song for two and a half weeks already. I love dreamy rock.
VAN SHE here with you download
VAN SHE kelly download
"Here with you" is another dreamy rock song. (I would preferably just use the term "shoegazer", but I'd probably get attacked by music snobs for using it incorrectly. ugh.) In looking for this song I was forced to download the whole EP it came on. I never heard of Van She before but I'm glad I had to download the whole EP because it's REALLY GOOD! I'm including 2 songs for you in this post, but you can dL the whole EP here (basically the same guy I downloaded from). "Kelly" could get mistaken as an 80's teen movie song. And the rest of the tracks is more synth rock, which I am always a sucker for.
MOBIUS BAND year of the president download
Another old song I only discovered recently. I love how 90's it sounds.
BEN KWELLER lollipop download
CAKE strangers in the night download
two oldies covers made for a video game called "Stubbs the Zombie". The Cake version reminds me of the Eagles.

Soundtrack Rarities
This week I'm going to highlight 6 great, hard-to-find songs from old, vintage horror/grindhouse movies. The great thing about movies from the late 70's and early 80's is the great disco and synth pop that came with. These songs I picked are pretty much some of the best 70's and 80's songs you'll ever hear. You're in luck because now they're all on this one page for you to download.
A big thanks to my Christian and his latest Netflix obsession with old Italian horror, exploitation films and other grindhouse movies. I would never have known these existed, and now you do too!
And finally, House on the Edge of the Park. I haven't actually seen this movie (yet), only the trailer. The music in it is amazing. I'm including the trailer for you, but I have to warn you first that there's a lot of frontal nudity and semi-abuse toward women. Other than that, it's really worth it to see the wrong translation of the title (Whoa! Better watch out for that EDGY PARK!) and to hear the awesome trailer music.
Without further ado:
 | SLEEPAWAY CAMP (1983) Frank Vinci - You're Just What I've Been Looking For (Angela's Theme) right-click to download great 80's track; this is probably the most-known flick of my list |
 | CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST (1980) Riz Ortolani - Cannibal Holocaust (Main Theme) right-click to download not a dancy one like the rest, but beautifully sad, especially the way it's used in the film to contrast what's happening |
 | ZOMBIE aka ZOMBI 2 (1979) Fabio Frizzi & Giorgio Tucci - Zombie right-click to download starts off creepy, but then the awesome synth riff kicks in! |
 | PROM NIGHT (1980) Prom Night (part 2) right-click to download don't make the mistake i did: just because jamie lee curtis and leslie nielsen are in it, doesn't mean it's good; disco is its only redemption |
AND NOW MY FAVORITE TWO: | |
 | TENEBRE (1982) [3 guys from the band] Goblin - Tenebre right-click to download I gave this movie 5 stars on Netflix. Same would go for the song. |

 | HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK (1980) Riz Ortolani - Do It to Me right-click to download GOD THIS SONG RULES |

OH SHIITAKE! (new music blog)
FUCK! I like a Kanye West song. I mean REALLY like. 
Well, it's technically "Estelle featuring Kanye West". And she's not even a good singer but FUCK why does the beat have to sound so good?? UGH! The more I listen to it I think, What a waste of a dance song! It should have gone to a much better singer/group. Her voice is horrible and drastically autotuned (i REALLY hate when she sings the "you" in "come kick it with yoooou") and Kanye West really annoys me as a person. But FUCK he can be a good producer at times. UGH.
On a brighter note
a friend of mine (thanks Alex!) introduced me to an old band called Whitest Boy Alive. DAMN could I be more oblivious because Whitest Boy Alive was Erlend Oye's side project next to Kings of Convenience, which is only MY MOST FAVORITE GROUP EVER!!! Apparently he got the band together in 2003 or something, but DAMN i can't believe i never followed up on it then. It's not that surprising because Erik was my favorite 'King' anyway, but nevertheless, I found a new band to really love and I'm glad.
Enjoy these Downloads (they're legit and virus-free) and have a great weekend!
