Apparatjik Square Peg In a Round Hole


You've probably heard of the band Coldplay; you've probably heard of A-ha; hell, you readers have all heard me talk about Mew, but you probably haven't heard of the super-band, Apparatjik!
Apparatjik consists of a member from each of those bands. Believe me when I say this, I would not imagine such a diverse group of people to create such cool, electrifying hits. They sound electric, with an intensifying echo (I know that's contradictory) of the amazing Jonas Bjerre. Not quite Mew or any of the other bands these members are in, but they definitely have a different sound than most bands. Their new album Square Peg In A Round Hole came out about a month or two ago. It's really great! Give it a shot and stuff!

The Avengers!




It is Thursday night and, for some reason, I am extremely tired. Not the kind of tired that follows a hard day of working out or manual labor, but the kind of tired where your body and mind are just exhausted for no reason. I do not know why I feel this way, and it could not come at a worse time because I am going to the midnight showing of The Avengers tonight. Yeah, that's right, The Avengers. I know you all are probably thinking, "Yeah, I've heard of The Avengers. Why are you talking about this?" I am talking about this because I want all of you to know that I know this movie will be good. Of course there's Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth, along with Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, and a bunch of others. What you all do not understand is that Joss Whedon wrote this movie. That is the number one reason why this movie will be good, not because of the action, not because of the humor, not because black widow is absolutely stunning, but because Joss Whedon wrote this movie.
This guy wrote and created HUGE hits like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and he even helped write and produce the new horror film Cabin In the Woods. By the way, Cabin In the Woods was an incredibly awesome piece of horror that should forever be placed on the mantle of, "Horror Movies Everyone Should Watch Before They Die." Most of these shows have massive cult followings, especially Firefly, and Joss Whedon is considered a god at places like comic-con and other movie conventions. All in all, if you liked Buffy or any of those awesome shows, then that alone will tell everyone that this movie will be good. Don't worry, we are all in good hands, and I haven't even seen this yet!

 The Avengers opens on May 4th.

Mocean Worker



For those of you people who are interested in finding something a little out of your element, then I have something for you. Imagine 1930-1950 jazz and mixing it with an electronic funk psychedelic twist mix. Put those two things in a blender, blend it for 40 minutes, pour it in a shaker, shake it for 10 minutes, and then pour the ingredients all in a tall glass, and you now have Mocean Worker. Adam Dorn, the man behind Mocean Worker, puts out different elements on his computer and samples over them with some smooth jazz beats. This stuff is so smooth I could drink 8 ounces of his newly polished album, Candyman Mowo, down it all with one gulp and feel absolutely nothing but my hips move. The stuff is super catchy, and any type of music fan can dance to his.

First post!

Welcome to the first post in "This guy's mix of stuff." In this blog, I will write about anything that comes to my mind. It will mostly involve something like some cool music, movie, or concert. I like to write about whatever I like, so don't think you have to like what is in this blog. By the way, I'm the best. That part was just a joke to soften you people up. Enough romance, time for some stuff!!


The first thing that came on shuffle on my itunes is En Gång I År Kom Det En Tår by Dungen. Pretty good stuff to listen to if you're in the mood to listen to something where you have no idea what is being said. I like the piano in the song. This song is off their album Tio Bitar.



Pretty cool artwork, huh? They're Swedish, so you know it's good.
