So, how was your weekend, people? Did you make a little trip with your friends? Or just stayed at home, hangover, because of crazy party at Friday/Saturday night? Mine, as usual, spent at hospital where I worked at, went home at late night, turned the TV on and then I watched Dexter. Sigh, it's like I don't even know whether weekend is exist. Hahaha... But, because I don't work at regular time Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, there's no way I can say "I hate Monday!", I just hate double-shift work :D

"I want her to really know who I am
And then, and only then will she love me
Well at least that was the plan
If ever a boy needed a holiday
If ever a girl needed someone to hold
I just hope I don't act the same way
By the time that I get that old"

 (The White Stripes - I Want To Be The Boy That Warms Your Mother's Heart)

I'm just browsing around Youtube to find abs workout video. I clicked suggestion by suggestion and whoola I'm captivated to the following video. This isn't some workout vid, but a music vid from Scottish singer, Nina Nesbitt. I don't have any idea why Youtube suggest this vid, but, thank you Youtube!! : )

Nina Nesbitt - Make Me Fall

Born and brought up in Edinburgh by pop-loving parents--her Swedish mother loves Abba and Christina Aguilera and introduced her only child to Eva Cassidy; her dad is obsessed with Roxy Music--Nesbitt initially wanted to be an author. But this talented teenager who was born on july 11, 1994 reached success after covering some songs and uploaded on Youtube. Nina's voice is pure, beautiful and original, unlike another female artist on the music chart who still needs autotune.
She has released 2 EPs and a single. Her first EP, "Live Takes", was released at December 2011 and has 4 tracks in it. Her second EP, titled "The Apple Tree" was released in April 2012 and reached #6 on the iTunes download charts after receiving airplay on  BBC Radio 1 and also reached #1 on iTunes singer/songwriter chart. And under her new record label, Universal Music Group, on October, Nina released a new single titled "Boy".
Nina Nesbitt - Boy

Well, howd'ya think about this young girl?

Buckethead: Awesomely Weird and Weirdly Awesome!

"It's too early for Halloween party, dude!"
When you see this guy, some of you may think that he is just a superfreak tall dude in a bad Halloween costume; "Michael Myer white plain mask and KFC bucket in your head? Are you kidding? You better shave your hair, wearing a good suit and being Slendie, man!" Well, he doesn't dress up for Halloween party and such, it is his costume to perform his magical music and rock the world! Ladies and gentlemen, I present you the weirdest guitarist in the world, BUCKETHEAD!
Buckethead (real name: Brian Caroll) is an American musician, song writer and guitarvirtuoso, got well-known for his distinctive outfit and elaborate stage shows. He has released 40 solo studio albums, 4 special released, 1 EP and has performed in more than 50 albums by other artists. He plays a wide range genres of music; avant-garde, heavy metal, funk, electronic, ambient, experimental rock, etc. If you've listened his whole albums, you'll agree with me that he creates different music, different mood, in every album he released. He has been voted number 8 in a list in GuitarOne magazine "Top 10 Greatest Guitar Shredders of All Time".
If you haven't listened to all his albums, at least you must be ever listened to his song "Jordan", I suppose. "Jordan" is originally featured on the 2006 music video game Guitar Hero II and available as a downloadable single on iTunes on 2009. Another Buckethead's popular song is "Soothsayer" in Crime Slunk Scene album which was released on 2006. This song is very frequently played in his life performance.
One of my favorite Buckethead's song is "Padmasana", released in his ninth studio album, Electric Tears. This song has soft mellow tune, ambient and somewhat that make you feel like very calm, sad, empty and relax at the same time. Anyway, result may vary. Nine year after Electric Tears, on December 2011, Buckethead released its album sequel, Electric Sea. This album has 11 songs and two of them, "La Gavotte" and "Bachethead" are originally composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. As a matter of fact, those are the same song but played in different way, and still, both of them are pretty cool. This song is like raise positive energy and bring in the joy instantly.
Buckethead and his weapon.
His album, Colma, is the most-played album on my music player. It was released on March 24, 1998. Colma is an acoustic album, most of the track are composed on acoustic guitar, simple bass guitar and drum playing parts. This album was recorded for his mother, he wanted to make an album she could enjoywhile she's recovering from colon cancer she had.   
Anyway, it's possible for me to write about every single Buckethead's songs but I believe that noone will read it anyway. So, what are you waiting for? Try his awesome work by yourself! 
PS. 
If you want to buy the album, preview the songs, read the review and pick according your music taste. As I write above, The genre is different from one to another album.
