As mentioned on Twitter last night, I'm going to bring back daily more frequent Tuneskies of the Day.
I'm not trying to make this personal blog related only to music (I'll leave the legend that is Nialler9 to that), but I do like to share and ramble on about some audio delights that I encounter or listen to. On the microblog I will attempt to keep it regular, with a Tuneskie at least daily, but the website will not be as frequent.
Got it? Okay. Let's go.
Billy Talent - "Saint Veronika"
Taken off Billy Talent III, the latest offering from the Canadian punk outfit, Saint Veronika is the new single- the video of which made its début on the bands Myspace page on February 1st. Hearing Benjamin's voice (the lead vocalist) brings me straight back to the days when I was listening to their first album. Although the tracks are darker on the newer material, it still gives a delivers a loud, angst-ridden sound. The intro to the video itself could be something from Slipknot, but it is nonetheless worth watching and hearing.

MGMT - "Time to Pretend"
Congratulations will be hitting our world on April 13th, and I'm pretty excited about it. New material will be a nice change from the constant radio airplay of Kids and Electric Feel: not that I don't love these songs, and the old album for that matter, but I know that this band can (hopefully) offer another selection of cracking tunes, and if we're lucky, another memorable performance at Oxegen.
Yes. I still cannot get over the tent at Oxegen 2008, the band leaving the stage due to that drunk chick' (and everyone else) climbing the support beams, and returning to deliver a highly charged emotional rendition of some of their biggest songs. That really was an incredible show.
Take it away, Time to Pretend and take us back to where it all began...

The Bloody Beetroots feat. Steve Aoki - Warp (Chewy Chocolate Cookies Remix)
There's no video for this (and I'm glad there isn't- it would be bizarre), but it's the Chewy Chocolate Cookies remix of Warp from the 2009 release Romborama. It's funky, it's fun, and it's most definitely a song to listen to as we approach the weekend.
I've got to thank the Albert at SpaceToasters for this one. [Danke]
More Tuneskies of the Day, soon.
(If you're on Facebook or in a RSS Reader, you probably can't see the glorious videos. In that case, hit here and enjoy.)
