Morning Music Notes – Snoop of House Lannister

Some stuff from the Maritimes, and it’s a sea shanty for the ages. Okay, that’s geographist (new word – like racist, but against someone’s geographic location). COUSINS are a duo from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and have a new tune from recent release, The Halls of Wickwire.

Like the ocean waves in the retro VHS video, the chorus soars and swells in the track Ocean. Dive in below.

Morning Music Notes

Watch Seth Rogen and Snoop Dogg smoke pot (duh!) and give a Game of Thrones recap (with spoilers – duh!). Why? Because why the hell not? And it’s sorta funny.

So Rap Genius annotates rap music lyrics for people to understand, while News Genius breaks down the news. Rap Genius co-founder Mahbod Modghadam has resigned after annotations made on Santa Barbara shooting suspect’s 141 page manifesto, on site News Genius. Unfortunately, Modghadam’s comments of the manifesto included comments like “beautifully written”, “Elliot barely mentions his sister Georgia throughout the book!” and then guessing that she is “smoking hot”. A touch insensitive. (via Hollywood Reporter)

Interested in turning your keyboard clicks into music? Of course you are. Patatap has mapped the keyboard so that each stroke has a sound and visual image associated with it.
