Subtle Sexuality

On The Office, Kelly and Erin start a band called Subtle Sexuality. On webisodes on nbc.com, they chronicle their process in making the video for their song "Male Prima Donna" it's available here, but for some reason I have to watch it embedded style because nbc.com is a jerk.

We'll see if this embed works, yo.

SotD: "I Cut Like A Buffalo" by The Dead Weather

The Dead Weather is a recent project of Jack White's. I enjoy the hell out of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs, so it stands to reason that I also like The Dead Weather. If you enjoy the song, I suggest you check out the album. It's called Horehound, and Allison Mosshart (of The Kills fame) is usually the lead singer (check out "Hang You From The Heavens"), but I've had "I Cut Like A Buffalo" stuck in my head all day.

First post! Woooo!

Hi, my name is Seth, and I'm a music addict.

(Hi, Seth.)

I'll be contributing my own brand of ramblings about music to Chocchiphopera now and again, so be sure to check back soon for reviews etc. about things that aren't Adam Ant, Depeche Mode, or Vitas.

In fact, here's some a capella fantasy metal for you right now. I give you van Canto's cover of Nightwish's "Wishmaster":




van Canto is one of my recent discoveries, and I really enjoy the use of amplifier distortion on the vocals to better simulate the sound of the guitar. The entire album (titled Hero, for those of you that may wish to know) is in pretty much the same vein as "Wishmaster", so if you decide you like a capella fantasy metal, I suggest you check it out.
