Something For The Ears -- Suiyoubi

The other day I got a message from Suiyoubi (aka Martin Karlsson) to check out his music. I must say that I am a bit impressed. While listening to it you can feel that this is a person who loves his electronic music.



The first track I heard was called "Glitch My Insanity". This song borders on glitchy synth-pop. It isn't overly processed and it is a bit danceable.



Next came "Tefat". It has a catchy rhythm to it. While remaining on the border of synth-pop, it is the perfect track to follow "Glitch..."



"Sudden Change" sounds like something out a soundtrack for an 80's movie. It is definitely different from the first two tracks. Likable though nonetheless.



In yet another turn, the next track, "Last Sun", begins with a nice guitar intro mixed in with what sounds like an old martial arts movie. The sample tricks you into believing this is going to be a hard track but, this song is actually pretty relaxing. The melody is nice and the guitars are the perfect stand out. The drums add a nice texture. They remind me of the Luscious Jackson song "Naked Eye".



The next two tracks are titled "All We Were" and "When Children Never Grow Up". Both have catchy rhythms and an older school feel. The latter reminds me of Daft Punk and the way they melded the synths while "All We Were" reminds me of happy synth-pop from the retro rave scenes.



Well, enough of what I thought. Check it out yourself and decide.

Man Barks At Dog....Gets Arrested.

Michigan - Authorities in Three Rivers say a 26-year-old man had been arrested for allegedly barking at a police dog.


Anija, a police K-9, had been left in a patrol car by its handler. When the office returned to the car he found the suspect barking and yelling at the dog.


According to the Kalamazoo Gazette the shouting caused the canine to become "excited and very aggressive." The man was arrested on suspicion of harassing a police animal and also faces a disorderly conduct charge. He has since been released after posting bond.

Whispering is more wearing on your voice than a normal speaking tone. Whispering and shouting stretch the vocal cords.
