Keane - The Starting Line (Live at Sea Fog) [Acoustic] uploaded by Jh0n4s courtesy of youtube

Video Caption: A glorious acoustic session by Keane with the release of their newest album, Strangeland. Already on repeat, Strangeland is Keane’s return to the style of old like Everybody’s Changing, The Frog Prince, and Somewhere Only We Know. Keane is one of those rare bands that sound even better live than on a digital recording.  

Take a listen. This song and Sea Fog are the two standout songs on the album.

Mind = … Holy fuck…

[WARNING]

Spoilers! Do not read if you have not finished ME3 or wish to avoid spoilers for the ending.

Alright. I’ve been toying with the idea of the Indoctrination theory for the ending of Mass Effect 3 that has been floating around the internet. And I have discussed many points with my housemate, who has also studied literature extensively. She knows how invested I am in the story, and has given me a seed of hope that has blossomed into a razor-sharp flower of abject disbelief. She has also been researching this purely to ease my troubled mind, because living with me when I am in the throes of anguish or the grips of rage is pure hell.

And I can safely say that this is either the most dick move that Bioware could have pulled, or pure. Fucking. Genius.

So, yes. I have been won over to the indoctrination theory, and I’ll share with you some of the reasons why.

Video Caption: Just watched the Friday Night Light’s episode “The Son” where Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) has to bury his father after he was killed in Iraq. Hands down one of my favorite episodes of Television, Zach Gilford is absolute aces in this. This song in the final scene made me cry.

Coldplay - Paradise  Peponi (African Style) (Piano/Cello) Cover - The Piano Guys ft. Alex Boye

Video Caption: Each time we write/arrange a tune we take a journey. We have to admit—this journey took us a lot further than we expected. Retracing our steps reveals several factors that made this a reality. As we started arranging it we had serious writer’s block. Perhaps some of the worst we’ve ever had. In fact, one day instead of writing we went around the entire studio with a can of WD-40 and coated every piece of metal to ensure that we were a squeak-free studio. Then on a whim we decided to back away and take an entirely new approach to the song—an African approach. It may seem random in retrospect, but at the time it was an exciting way to restart the arrangement. It was working, but our journey still was on foot until we called in Alex Boye, one of the most talented people we’ve ever met. Alex has this contagious energy that gave new life to the song and to us. He sings the tune in 4 different languages: Swahili, English, Yoruba (his mother’s native language), and Alex’s own African “scat” (we’ll call it…Scafrican) =) Most of the words you hear are translated from the lyrics in the original Coldplay Tune. We’re huge fans of Alex — We bet you are now too!
