Devendra Banhart
That is all that Devendra is asking you to do, with his song off Cripple Crow (2005), Heard Somebody Say. Opening up with some soft piano, adding some soothing guitar, and minor percussion. Devendra sends a simple message with this song, but it hits close to home. The song keeps an upbeat tempo, with Devendra's soft, sweet singing that is also backed up by others, really sending out a peaceful message. With lyrics singing "I heard somebody say, that the war ended today, but everybody knows it's going still." Devendra puts out the opinion of the American populace, in a short way, and makes it more direct with lines "Oh it's simple, we don't wanna kill." With the song, Heard Somebody Say, Devendra writes a tranquil feeling song, with a good easy to understand meaning, this song delivers. Give this folk hit a listen, click it down below. The dude needs some support after him and Natalie Portman broke up, heartbreaker. Enjoy!

From The LA Times:
Here's a potentially cool score for Oscar voters to likely bypass in the future. It became widespread news today that French electronic duo Daft Punk will be scoring Disney's "Tron" sequel, dubbed "Tron 2.0," or more annoyingly, "TR2N."
It's a rather perfect choice, in both aesthetic and sound, as Daft Punk specializes in retro-styled futurism. Even those not too familiar with Daft Punk's work may recognize the "Tron"-influenced look in some of the act's work -- check the pairing with Kanye West at last year's Grammy Awards for evidence.
It's certainly a bit more exciting to Pop & Hiss than the previous "Tron 2.0" news posted on Latimes.com. Over at the Hero Complex blog, Geoff Boucher wrote about some "Tron 2.0" casting, picking up on trade reports that "Turistas" vets Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett have been recruited for the film, which Hero Complex noted was eyeing a spring shoot.
Daft Punk aren't strangers to the film world, having directed their own "Electroma," but it featured none of their music. The Playlist, however, touts the score to "Irréversible," which features one half of Daft Punk in Thomas Bangalter, and we trust them.

...By the way, that song is pretty depressing.
Haha interesting I guess, I will have to check out that movie. I personally love Daft Punk, wasn't sure if you were a fan or not. Oh and yeah it's kind of a bummer, hes a good folk singer though, so do you like the song?
