A decade is soon ending and musically it has been quite the adventure. Ten years is a long time and the music trends have been evolving (at least changed) quite alot. The past decade has been amazing and there are so many great albums to choose from. It has been hard making this list and I’m sure there are vital albums I probably have forgotten, but these are some of the ones that have had the most impact on me. Many of you will pherhaps not agree with the list, but some of you might even find some bands you never have heard. But that’s kind of the beauty of it. Some will agree, some will find albums they had forgotten, some will even discover music they haven’t heard before. I love music, I am a music junkie (oh how cliché), so here you are; my top 50 albums of the decade.
Imagine you’re sitting at a hilltop watching the ocean. Then suddenly you find yourself down by the shore enjoying yourself, chilling out. Simply taking life easy. Walking around with the warm sand under your feet. That’s what Tycho’s latest track Coastal Brake makes me feel.
Scott Hansen is the guy behind Tycho. And some might know him better under the name ISO50, wich is design alias. Scott Hansen isn’t only a musician, he’s a designer as well. And a damn good one at that. He makes all his music artwork himself, even most of the posters for different shows. Most of his work has that retro feel to it, but with the obvious modern day touch. Check out the Coastal Brake coverart:
Back to the new track. Tycho’s music is like made to listen to for inspiration, chilling out and when needing to “escape”. Now, this is just my humble opinion, but after a few listens in you’ll might start to agree with me. There’s a distinguished sound in Tycho’s music I have never found anywhere else. With Coastal Brake he continues with the well known Tycho-sound. The liquid arpeggios running throughout the song, the easy guitar strumming, the beats; it all matches perfectly. There is no error whatsoever in the track. The songs doesn’t exactly surprise, but there are something new throughout the song. Something untouchable that fits Tycho’s music so well.

First of all, I would like to congratulate Chris for launching the version of Nocturne Phoenix. The selective coloring of the layout is very unique and nicely designed. Overall, a great accomplishment and another step to the development of Dream Infinity!
As for myself, I have been juggling four classes in my second year of law school, as well as running my Photoblog at the same time. Photography has really become a stress reliever for me along with music. Besides taking photos on a consistent basis, I have started playing the piano again for leisure. The stress of being in graduate school has undoubtedly given me more time to manage my life positively.
It seems to me that my days as a student will live forever. However, at the same time, due to this hectic economy, maybe it is better to be a student for now. I do value the opportunity that life has given me to become a prospective attorney in the near future. Hopefully, it will be rewarding. Good luck everyone else and I wish them the best in their future endeavors!
This is a non-biased review of the final Nine Inch Nails show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles. (Really.. non-biased…)
I was fortunate enough to get tickets for the very final show for Nine Inch Nails. The big reason being that the final show was played in LA, and I in fact live in LA made last night possible for me. The show was located at the old Wiltern theater in LA, which holds about 2,200 people or so in capacity. The show tickets went on sale on 6/19/09, sold out in 4 minutes and last night proved to be the best 55.00 I have ever spent in my life. (more…)
