MIA

Petrov made the drive to upstate ny to avoid the horror that is the airport over a holiday. Along the way petrov had time to really get to know MIA's new cd "Kala". Prior to the trip petrov found the cd to be intriguing but lacking something that makes you want to get up and really dance. However, after a few listens and turning up the car bass, the cd is actually quite good and petrov started singing along. this is certainly a concert where you will want to be in the front section of the main floor of 9:30 Club. God willing, the DC audience will actually start dancing. However, should the audience perhaps be like Petrov was before this weekend and simply liked MIA, but lacked the connection to the groovibility of the music (yeah, that isn't really a word), where you stand wont' matter much. so for those of you lucky enough to get tickets to the sold out show, you can either start dancing in the opening song or you can learn that "goovibility" as the night progresses.

MIA - Paper Planes

beastie boys

coming from the last entry.... you may be asking yourself beastie boys? petrov had all but forgotten about these guys until a couple months ago when he heard their new album. let petrov be the first to tell you (if you haven't heard the new beastie boys yet), if your an old school beastie boys fan... you might be disappointed. petrov actually enjoys the new sounds quite a bit and its just all around more his style. its all been taken down a notch and lacks the signature vocals. it will be interesting to hear some of these songs once remixed. Check out "Off the Grid" below.

well this is a musical blog

Petrov realized there hasn't be an entry dedicated purely to a song in awhile. Be at peace now because Petrov is now correcting such. as you may have caught on petrov is a busy little bunny hopping all around the country. This weekend he is headed to west virginia for a camping trip. woohoo!

today's entry is an ode to petrov's last camping adventure in Chincoteague. Today's song is "The Bad Penny" by RJD2. "all hail penny the prancing pony!".... yeah you don't get it... its ok, its just one of things that becomes way to humorous for only those involved in the original situation. anyway...despite petrov's silly camping shenanigans... the song is good and if someone out there would teach petrov to dj (PLEASE???) then he promises to make some funky beats like RJD2, assuming necessary talent follows.
