Dispatches by Adrian Conoza

Another house music single I saw and heard on Australian Network's music program  rage.  Obviously, Lana del Rey's vocals express a low mood, yet they contrast with the energy brought by Cedric Gervais's remix, which is what I really like in this . And so, another nice blend of electronic dance music is made. Again, it's the technique of house that I appreciate here.

Here is another fresh treatment to house music, from a French duo named Justice. I've discovered this while playing SongPop on Facebook, and I observe that this is something different, especially that it incorporates an orchestral intro. That's a figment of the concept of the album (entiled Cross , stylized as  †)   where "Genesis" is track #1; the concept is an "opera-disco album". I find this as house music that is really different from the usual beats and drops.

I heard this another Disclosure mix at the first week of classes, including this song's remix by Australian electronic musician Flume . Aside from the duo's fresh treatment to house music, what's cool about them is their set-up during live performances. Let this link show you once you click this . It is also out from their debut album Settle , and they are joined by female vocals that fit well with the duo's beats and synths (there's even a bass alongside it).

Third year, for me, came with new experiences, new subjects, new friends, new burdens, new pains, new lessons, and—thankfully—new music to hear. At first year I listened mostly to motown, disco, and rock music, a bit of 70s and 80s, and a bit of current. Then at second year, I discovered the sounds that emerged in the 80s, from New Wave to synthpop to the simple pop. And last school year, I was glad to stumble upon 90s to today's music—alternative rock, indie, OPM, and pop as well—and found myself concluding that today's music isn't all trash and swears. I like some songs because of their well-written lyrics, which made me feel the way I felt at certain circumstances. Some of them I found interesting and pleasing to my ears because of the prettily-weaved composition. But I like most of them because of both. With no further ado, here are the 101 Songs of My Third Year. We'll have these "chart" in weekly intervals until we reach number 1. Here are the first 11 s...
