where the wild things are: all is love
The first track from the loaded Where the Wild Things Soundtrack is on the film's myspace. The always spastic Karen O serves as chief architect of the soundtrack enlisting an assortment of her musical buddies (including an untrained children's choir) to partake; hence, the title of the single, "All is Love" by Karen O and the Kids. As trite as the title is, the song is playful and tone appropriate for what Spike Jonze's film looks like. It start with a saddened piano and progresses into a sing along lovefest highlighted by the the voices of children. (where's the sunshine and rainbows) While this song could have easily slipped into a purple dinosaur suit carrying life lessons like how sharing is caring, Karen O's quirky and spontaneous sensibility keeps it a tad more dystopian.
very best and m.i.a.
"Rain Dance" (feat. M.I.A.) is the newest single from Warm Heart of Africa to hit the internet. From what I've read, this track isn't the best on the album, but, is the most accessible song, playing it safe with the always stylish M.I.A.
dan deacon: "paddling ghost"
Dan Deacon is one of my favorite discoveries of '09. His album, Bromst, is a battle of man vs. machine; and within moments shows a world where the two can coexist. Regardless the strife or the synergy, Bromst is a sonic pleasure. "Paddling Ghost" is featured on Bromst and is an adequate "slipping into" or starter.
