I never knew running a blog while trying to have a life was this difficult. Haha. School has started again and Id sprung back to my tedious sked. The several DMCAs takedown notices and the crashing of my links were not helpful either. I dont understand why they remove posts which were sent via mails by the artists themselves. Way to go on dissecting my creative streak google. Really, screw you google. +/- Meanwhile, about the latter, I wont promise anymore to put the links infinitely on Metaphor. If you want to have mp3s of some artist on this blog, just leave a comment or send an email and Ill send it on your way pronto as soon as I have nothing on my hands. I started this blog knowing absolutely nothing about blogging. Fortunately, I picked helpful advices on the way. To whoever you are who had the patience to read this, Metaphor is not dead. I cant promise you anything from this point, all I know is that, Ill visit Metaphor even if this isn't my blog. Thanks and peace. Some curr...

Dedication 3, Your Fu*king Melting Pote 2, Buffet Libre & Audio Racquet

Image
This post is rather heavy so fly away and look sharp. I have been sifting my mails and found out lots of monster mixtapes from DJs and artists. Others have been rotting in my mail all the time and some are newly sent. I have chosen four mixtapes to share to you- Lil Wayne 's Dedication 3, Leam or Rosebud 's Your Fucking Melting Pote, Buffet Libre 's Cover Projects and George O'Connor 's Audio Racquet. It was a blast listening to these tunes, everything's hard-thumping and will slap you in the face. This post is my gratitude for all the support you folks been giving my little blog. Thanks everyone and peace. I hope your eardrums explode after hearing these tunes. Haha. Listening to a mixtape is a process so download the whole thing.

Nellie Mckay

Image
Here's another top-notch artist to make your mind go berserk. Nellie Mckay's flair reminds me of The Dresden Dolls melding to the likes of Regina Spektor and her song, 'David' captivated me upon hearing the first note. +/- Nellie Mckay Nellie McKay (born Nell Marie McKay on 13 April 1982) is an English-born American singer-songwriter, actress, and former stand-up comedian, noted for her critically acclaimed debut album Get Away from Me and for her Broadway debut in The Threepenny Opera (2006), for which she won a Theatre World Award.

Bluebird

Image
Angie May is an independent artist with no EP yet released. Her song 'Bluebird' was recorded at Crouch Hill studios in London in April '08, and will be featured in her upcoming EP. I wrote it walkin the streets of London one summer afternoon (even though there are no Bluebirds in London!) just thinking about how great it must be to escape the city on a hot day.

I LOVE YELLE

Image
I LOVE YELLE. +/- In case you don't know, my first post was "Je Veux Te Voir". I heard it a while ago and all the craziness emerged again. Don't mind this jabbering, just another random post to complete your day. And yes, I get what she's singing about. Wanna jump on the wagon?

The Script

Image
I picked yesterday The Script debut album which was made available this 8th of November. The Script, an Irish trio band describes their sound as a whole new brand of Celtic Soul, blending hip hop lyrical flow with pop melodiousness, state-of-the-art R'n'B production with anthemic rock dynamics, classic song construction with gritty contemporary narratives. +/- The Script It's got all the emotion and passion you would expect from across the Irish sea, but it is glittering in its modernity, universal in its singalong addictiveness and global in its syncopation, music for the feet, heart and head. Think U2 versus Timbaland, Van Morrison remixed by Teddy Riley. Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me, And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be, Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet, And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street. The Man Who Cant Be Moved We Cry Breakeven Before the Wo...

MYMP (Make Your Momma Proud)

Image
Everyone seeks those calm days where they can be lazy all day, do nothing and perhaps listen to nostalgic 90's lounge songs. Folks, I introduce you MYMP. This band has been on my folders for years and I stumbled on them recently. MYMP, short for 'Make Your Momma Proud' is known for their mesmerizing acoustic covers of old songs. If you're in for easy-listening mellow pop, take a listen to MYMP. +/- MYMP MYMP is the author of the sweetest, softest and most soothing music the Philippine Music Industry could have. Pairing up the guitar work of Chin Alcantara and the most angelic voice of Juris Fernandez is truly heaven’s work. This tandem, together with their other band mates, has brought fans and listeners everywhere great music and pleasant times both with their wonderful personalities and their heart-warming songs. If you'd only say you love me, baby Things would really work out fine Say You Love Me Waiting in Vain Constantly True Colors The Closer I ...

Chairlift

Image
I don't know why I jumped over the Chairlift wagon a lil bit late. Maybe its because they kinda reminded me of Stricken City ( to make the story short ). Chairlift is a Brooklyn-based band with polished beats of funky guitars, soft electronic drums, and a broad range of celestial synthesizer sounds that produces a dark mystifying effect to anyone within close proximity. They emerged into the public eye through their single ' Bruises '. ' Bruises ' actually is far more different than their usual pieces. What I'm trying to say is, cynicism could kill you. +/- Chairlift Amidst the revival of psychedelic music in the New York underground, Chairlift has chosen to work closely with musical associations within their own generation, shifting ... (more) between pop-art jingles, synthesizer-heavy film soundtracks, and DIY basement beats to project an organic portrait of the young blood raised on Lite-Brites, riding the transition from analog to digital. I was trained in d...

One Blood

Image
Since Metaphor is all about random and splendid music from different points and dimension, and I just watched the perplexing and astounding ' Green Street Hooligans ', I couldn't help not posting the movie's soundtrack, 'One Blood'. You should watch the movie. I never seen violence portrayed more differently. Then I fell to the ground Tasted ashes on my tongue Thinking that only dead Are forever young One Blood by Terence Jay
