Crackϟ

Life gets boring and tiring sometimes. Faces you've seen a thousand times, stories you've already heard... old people.. annoying, little brats.. "yeah, he is, like, totally into me, like, TOTALLAAAY!"-chicks.. So many things you don't want to see or hear. Good thing you've got an mp3-player :D

Well, as long as it's working -.-''

The love of my life, my little sansa-mp3-player, which I adore because of its clip function, is dead.

Or maybe not dead, but definitely on its way to "music heaven". And I think, I killed it :c

A few months ago, there was this teeeeny-tiny crack, but "sansa" still worked perfectly fine. The crack got bigger, but still, "sansa" did its job. And now it can only play music when I push my finger on the crack itself with all the strength my fat-and-warmheartedness-controlled body can offer.

Which can become a real pain in the a**.

But I'm the one to blame. I didn't look after my little "sansa" as I should've done. And to make things worse, I tried to fix the problem. With glue. Because I fix ALL my problems with glue. If "sansa" had a hand, it would give me the finger :(

(^ see what I did there? It's like a crack.. and stuff...no? o.o)

UPDATE: 2 Days later. Things didn't work out as I thought they would. I need my regular dose of music. And with a player that only works if I press very hard on the display, I get frustrated quite easily. So this is what I did: I disassembled a clothespin to get a spring-thingy and attached it to the mp3-player... Plus some foam to avoid scratches (as if the huge crack right in the middle would be for decoration ._.). Say welcome to "monster-sensa" :x

If you think about it, "sensa" could be seen as a pirate now. 'Arrrrrrr'... ^^''

Hoping that this construction turns out to be sufficient, I'll try to be as careful with my little baby from now on as possible. As long as I don't have the money to get a new one. But hey, it still plays music :D

So let me show you what I added to my playlist since the crack-accident:

The Whitest Boy Alive - Island

Idk why, but the beat at the beginning reminds me of Paul Kalkbrenner somehow...

Santigold - Disparate Youth [Amateur Best Remix]

...gives a nice dreamy beat to the vocals. Maybe a track hat you need to listen to for a few times in order to really get into it ;)

Emma Louise - Jungle
After hearing her song "Boy", I instantly knew that she was one to look out for. I reeeeally like her voice.

Bobby Womack feat. Lana Del Rey - Dayglo Reflection

It's been a long time since I heard sth new from Ms. Rey... But this collab was worth the wait :)

Soko - We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow

..Even better with the video. Just sit back and enjoy pure love :3

Unkle feat. The Black Angels - With You In My Head
Where Did The Night Fall: Another Night Out became one of my favorite albums during the last few weeks. Damn, I love me some "alterlectro" Unkle :]

That's it for today... I wish you all the best and someone to enjoy the summer with ;)
Greetings

(CLICK MEEEE! I dare you! >.<)

¡Hola! ..Me llamo Max, ¿y tú?..

Since the "good-bye" I tried really hard

to come up with something that feels just like you.

Hope you don't mind, but since we're apart

The image I have strayed a little into

the direction of "Who?"...

Howdy, y'all.
Given that you opened a link to this blog, you're in the act of reading this sentence. And if you are reading this right now, you might as well have read all the other posts I made. Since I always use the name "maximiwax" to say goodbye at the end, you may not know my real name - until now
So let me introduce myself (again): I'm Max. Nice to "meet" you.
In a comment on my last post someone said that I must be a girl, because a guy wouldn't be so "deceitful". Well, in fact, I'm a guy. Maybe not the "I'd like to watch a football game while a naked, blond jigglychest brings some goddamn beer"-kinda guy, but still a male human being... Replace the football game with a nice movie, the beer with a piña colada and the bombshell with... idk... just a nice, handsome man? ... "A MAN?!" - Yeah, a man. There's nothing wrong with that, is there? 21st century ftw! :)

Sooo... now that we're done with that, let's think about names in general with attention to music....
When you give a song its name, you've thought about the meaning of the whole song and came up with (most often) 1-4 words that describe it briefly or pick up the core of what it's about. But when you give a song a REAL name like 'Dorothy' or 'James' (random examples), you actually dedicate this song to a special person. Or you've build a character in the story you're telling with your song and you pick a name that suits this character - so that you don't have a 'real' connection to the name itself but the traits which  - combined - stand for the idea of a certain person.

Not many songs have this dedication in their titles, but I've found a few "name-songs" I want to share with you...


alt- J (∆) - M∆tilda (Ghostpoet 'Gang Panang Adlit' Remix)
Let's begin with something truly "maximiwaxy" ... This chill-wave song may not overwhelm you with astounding lyrics, but the repetition of "Matilda" becomes somewhat hypnotizing

Bat For Lashes - Daniel
One of the songs I really disliked in the beginning, but which got stuck in my head. Please give it a try and maybe listen to it a few times! :) Or maybe you'll find a really good remix of it that changes your mind...

Lana Del Rey - Carmen
A good example for songs that aren't dedicated to a special person but rather tell the story of someone that doesn't exist in real life. But still, you can relate to the character / can imagine someone like Carmen...

Band of Horses - Georgia (Cee-lo Green Cover)

..Had to upload this one, because you can't find a stream version on the Internet atm -.-'' I find it kinda cool that Band of Horses covered one of Cee-Lo's best songs while Cee-Lo did the same with one of BOH's songs... check out Cee-Lo's version of "No One's Gonna Love you" HERE


Lykke Li - Jerome

I prefer the live version of this song so I linked the youtube video... Just take it in and enjoy..

BOY - Boris
A little story of a girl and a shady guy, told with subtle expressions.. I think that it - like Carmen - has a title with a random name, though I can imagine this girl being one of the band members...
You'll see more of these two ladies on this blog in the future because I'm obsessed with them... I really enjoy their lyrics, voices and the band in general... So happy, that a good friend of mine (someone I mentioned in my last post) showed me the music video for their song "Little Numbers" <- CHECK. IT. OUT!!!

So that's it, guys... Again, please think about using the download helper if you wanna download these songs.. or email me at maximiwax@hotmail.de and I'll send them to you ;)
Enjoy your weekend!
