Greed Is Good !!

I personnaly don't like really modern music, and if I do its the more chilled stuff , however, I really like this, and the classic version of alicia by herself. 


Alishia is a very good singer, she has incredible range and vocal strength, and she plays the piano and writes her own material. 


This track is in the soundrtrack of 'Wall street - Money never sleeps' new movie by Oliver Stone.

Taylor Swift - Fifteen

'before you know who you're gonna be Fifteen'


My daughter will be 15 at May next year.


When you're 15 , you often take decisions that don't lead to an exactly fruitful future. 


I think when you become 15 , you basiclly spend your time worrying about boys and being pretty and stuff.


As you get older in life , you realize its not so important...

We Can Work It Out

'Guess whos coming to dinner' - I love this movie--today I first saw the movie . 


It has so much to say about humanity and cold judgement.


Sydney was the first one who predicted a black president, not to mention condoleza rice, a prediction we could have done without i might add, not because she was black but because she was a bush henchwoman. 


I think that Poitier is one of the ten best actors of all time. 


Great film !

Gold - You're Indestructable

I used to love this song as a teenager.


Nice song even in 2010!!

I used to say to my kids that the 80s produced total classic bands like Duran Duran, Wham and Police. 


There is still good music out there, you just have to find it...

Sonic Syndicate

Sonic Syndicate is a group of death-metal band from Falkenberg, Sweden. Is strongly influenced by other Swedish death metal bands like In Flames and Soilwork.

Sonic Syndicate was formed in 2002 under the name Fallen Angels, by Richard, Roger and Robin Sjunnesson. Under this name they recorded three demos, Fall from Heaven, Black Lotus and Extinction; then sign a contract with Pivotal Rockordings in 2005.
By signing the contract with Pivotal Rockordings the group changed its name to Sonic Syndicate, to record their first studio album, Eden Fire.


The group toured Sweden promoting her album Eden Fire, opening for Avatar. In early February 2006 during his tour with Avatar, Kristoffer Bäcklund (drums) left the group. He was replaced by John Bengtsson, and the band ended soon after the tour to begin preparing new material in March of that year.

In the summer of 2006, Sonic Syndicate entered a competition organized by one of the largest metal labels, Nuclear Blast. Among more than 1500 participants (groups) SS was elected one of three winners, which gave them the opportunity to sign a contract with the label. In November enter Black Lounge Studios, for recording after Eden Fire, Only Inhuman, with Jonas Kjellgren of Scar Symmetry. They made the video for the single "Denied", under the guidance of producer Patric Ullaeus.

Bad Romance - The best clip of 2010

Congratulations to Lady GaGa.

She finally got recognition for her art from the media (MTV Awards 2010)

I personally don't think she truly deserves it , but let it be...

I've never liked Lady Gaga, and haven't given her a chance.

After watching the awards tonight, I figured I'd watch this video again with a more open mind, and I must say,there's something in it!

Madame Bovary - Claude Chabrol RIP

Claude Chabrol died today at the age of 80.

We remember him as the director of the controversial movie 'Madame Bovary' starring the erotic actress Isabelle Huppert.

Emma, a prosperous farmer's daughter, who marries a doctor, Charles Bovary .

He is a kind and gentle soul who adores her and wants nothing more than to make her happy. The problem is that he does not know how. Even Emma does not really know what would make her happy.

This is the story of Emma Bovary and her unhappy, wasted, shallow life. She is a woman who on the surface seems to have everything, an adoring, doting husband, a lovely, healthy daughter, an attractive well appointed home. Yet, she is unhappy. She loathes her husband, finding him pedantic and dull. She has little time for her daughter and seems to have little motherly instincts. What worldly goods she has never seem to ber enough.

Satyrian

SATYRIAN is an international gothic rock band, combining dark atmospheric lyrics with wave, rock, classical orchestration, piano and heavy guitars.

The story of their new album "Eternitas" goes back to December 2002, when the band started recording at the Spacelab Studio in Germany. Though at the time they called themselves Danse Macabre, these were the early days for SATYRIAN. Recordings started with drummer Merijn Mol (Danse Macabre, The Dreamside), bassist Milos Marisevic (Danse Macabre) and composer / guitarist Jan "Örkki" Yrlund (Danse Macabre, ex- Lacrimosa, Prestige, Imperia, Angel, Delain). Piano and some clean vocals were supplied by producer Oliver Philipps (also in Everon). The band invited Kemi Vita (The Dreamside) as guest vocalist. Judith "Ciara" Stüber also took part in recording; she'd already joined the band for three songs on their previous album "Eva."

With a summer tour quickly approaching, the band invited their guests to join them. Guest vocalists Kemi and Judith gladly agreed, and producer Oliver also joined the band for this journey. At this point, the band was nearly complete. All that was missing was a final singer to complete the line-up. This they found in Roman Schönsee (ex- Pyogenesis, The Bloodline, The Dreamside). After rehearsals at Spacelab, the band headed to Finland for the tour. There, they also shot scenes in Lapland for an upcoming video with director Jari Koskela.

While on tour, the band and guests formed a bond not easily broken, and the guests were invited to join the band as full members. With the album still missing vocals, the band returned to Spacelab Studio in 2004. With all three vocalists experimenting with new sounds, the recordings were truly a creative process. Not only did they lay down the vocals, the band got carried away and recorded new piano, bass and orchestral parts. They also added an extra song to the mix. By June 2004, recordings were complete and the band adopted it's new moniker: SATYRIAN.

In autumn 2005, SATYRIAN's old record company agreed to the band's request to transfer the album and the band signed a new record deal with Lion Music Records.

The new album "Eternitas" consists of 12 songs in a wide variety of musical styles. From pure dark rock to danceable industrial beats, folk elements to classical atmosphere, the album runs the gammot of musical tastes. The contrast between the two male and two female voices define the band's sound. The guitar work varies from rock and metal riffing to melodic leads, often combined with piano. The lyrics are dark and atmospheric and offer a close look into deep personal emotions. It's an album about life and death, desire, fear, loss and eternity, the Eternitas.

Welcome to the SATYRIAN world!
