Stuck In My Skull 446 -- "March"

Written By Christopher Audiophile on Thursday, August 8, 2013 | 8/08/2013 08:13:00 AM

Song: "March" || Artist: MitchiriNeko || http://youtu.be/lAIGb1lfpBw ||
Comments: Good morning and happy almost-weekend, everyone! Today, I am bringing you a song with a title in a language I don't speak with a translation I can't pronounce, and I'm not sure if I even have the artist listed correctly. Anyone who is skilled with Japanese, please feel free to correct me. That being said, this song and video is a simply amazing combination. The song is a very catchy instrumental march that sounds incredibly happy, and the video is one of the most adorable things I have seen in a very long time. Many sites are describing this as "Cat March -- the happiest video ever." Honestly, I can't disagree. If this video doesn't bring a smile to your face, your smile might be broken. Enjoy!

Stuck In My Skull 423 -- "Session"

Written By Christopher Audiophile on Thursday, June 6, 2013 | 6/06/2013 08:25:00 AM

Song: "Session" || Artist: Linkin Park || http://youtu.be/WlxhYIyf5_w ||
Comments: Hello, everyone! I'm having one of those days where everything that's stuck in my head has already been written about on this blog. That in mind, I went digging through my music library looking for something different, a song to shake things up, and this is what I found. "Session" is the only instrumental track on Linkin Park's second studio album, Meteora. People tend to think about the singles from this album and gloss over this track, which I think really does it a disservice. It's a short track, clocking in at 2:25, but I think it's excellent. Being an instrumental track, it can be hard to recognize it as a Linkin Park song at all, lacking the vocals and lyrics that characterize Linkin Park songs as a whole. It sounds like a very well-produced mix by some electronic artist. More likely, I would be willing to be that this song is just Mr. Hahn messing around. Regardless of how it came to be, it's excellent. Check it out!

Comments: Good Monday morning, all! Today's song comes by way of Emily, who has my sincere thanks for sending it my way. According to her, Immortal Pain is "death metal from Saudia Arabia." While that might be true in some of their songs, this song is a nice, fairly mellow instrumental number, and I'm really impressed. I'll definitely be checking out more of their stuff. Enjoy!

Entry 195-- Soundtrack Week, Part 3: "Diablo Rojo"

Written By Anonymous on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 | 5/02/2012 05:55:00 PM

Soundtrack Week, Part 3
Song: "Diablo Rojo"
Artist: Rodrigo y Gabriela
http://youtu.be/2NAYojZY6aA
Comments:  Hey all, it's Miriah here with some Spanish for the week.  My apologies that my soundtrack song isn't from anything as awesome as Game of Thrones, but rather from an animated movie. (The movie was great for anyone wondering.)  Rodrigo y Gabriela are a Mexican an instrumental guitar duet.  I didn't realize this when I bought their album, but I fell in love with the music.  Almost all, at least on the album this song appears in are upbeat, fast paced, and amazing.  Anyhow, this song (whose title means "Red Devil" in Spanish) was released some time ago back in '06 on the duet's self-titled album.  In the movie, the song plays during a dance off which was an excellent scene to put this song.  Enjoy!

Entry 9-- "Clubbed to Death"

Written By Christopher Audiophile on Friday, July 22, 2011 | 7/22/2011 09:24:00 AM

Song: "Clubbed to Death"
Artist: Escala
http://youtu.be/pM5g4i7VjDE
Comments: Recommended to me by my friend Marilyn, Escala is a very good string quartet hailing from England. This song is pretty darn epic, and I had to include it here. It jumped the queue it was so good. Today was going to be something completely different, but now that I poke around YouTube, I'm discovering that Escala has covered the song that I was going to do as well (http://youtu.be/mj3bL4sLx7s). In addition, they have covered a slew of songs I'm familiar with, and listening to just a few of them (links below), I should amend my description of the band: Escala is a very good, very prolific string quartet hailing from England. Check them out.

Other Songs I Listened To:
