And Carly Rae Jepsen killed it.

Snow White and The Huntsman Soundtrack: Florence + The Machine

Have you seen Snow White and The Huntsman yet?  Surprisingly, the movie wasn't a complete letdown. Even with the famously emotionless Kirsten Stewart starring, I found the movie quite interesting. The queen was great, and the animation was spectacular. There was, however, one major standout for me, and it came during the credits. You know, credits? Those names at the end of the movie that no one ever reads?  Well, the soundtrack they chose for it really caught my attention. It comes from a talented band called Florence + The Machine, and is bold, robust, and so full of depth.  A drum pounds while an orchestra plays and Florence wails, making you feel like you are in the movie, about to march off to war.  Check it out bellow.

                   I can't believe they wasted this on the credits. It would have been perfect during the actual movie. :(

Passion Pit Make SNL Debut: Video

Last night was better than Christmas night for me. Two of my favorite things, "SNL" and Passion Pit, combined forces when Passion Pit performed Carried Away and Take a Walk on the show last night, hosted by Christina Applegate.  Check out their performances bellow!

Up And Coming Artist: Venus Hum

There's noting I like more than finding a band with a new, fresh, funky style. And when my friend showed me Venus Hum last weekend, I had found one (well, technically, she had found them, but that's beside the point). The band has been around for a while, but continues to create funky, strangely passionate songs with an erotic, spastic beat. The band's main music producer, Tony Miracle, has a rare heart condition called Venous Hum, which inspired the band name. I really enjoy this quote from their website: "The band... explore(s) the marriage of pop songwriting and strange electronic sounds". It kind of wraps up the entire band's style in a sentence. Their music is very similar to the sounds your computer might make while on a spastic fritz (which is a good thing). I can't wait for their next electronic-industrial masterpiece, but while we wait, check out some of their music bellow.
