Time

“Time asks no questions, it goes on without you.
Leaving you behind if you can’t stand the pace.
The world keeps on spinning, can’t stop it if you tried to.
The best part is danger staring you in the face”

Finding Nemo & Parts of the Process

Just finished watching “Finding Nemo”, and i must say it’s one of my favourite animated movies to this day, pixar have really outdone themselves with this one, in fact they always do with every new movie.

“Finding Nemo” is a piece of art animation-wise, and the story is great and the humor is amazing, i just love it 🙂
I think i’ll be buying the DVD for sure when it’s released and gets here.

As i write this post, i’m listening to Morcheeba’s album “Parts of the Process”, which has this really cool laid back sound that i love, just the stuff i need right now.

Btw, i just remebered, i also re-watched “The Two Towers”, finally in English, on a DVD i rented and i love it even more now.
The DVD has some cool extras on it, especially the teaser part about “Return of the King” which looks like it’ll top both the first and second movie, i can’t wait.

Calypso

Last night was a great night out, we went to a club called “Calypso” in Hammamet (which is one of the best clubs in Tunisia) with some friends, and we partied like crazy and danced till the break of dawn.

The music was amazing, the beats were hypnotizing and the bass was out of this world, in short it was impossible to even think of sitting down, your body simply wouldn’t let you.

Everyone was jumping around and dancing like there was no tomorrow, kind of reminding me of the rave party scene from “Matrix Reloaded” 😛
Damn, i’ve been watching too many movies lately, lol.

We had dinner there too, which as you can imagine, is served in a big plate with a tiny portion floating in the middle, but with a big number showing up on the bill later on in the night, when you’re too exhausted to ask why, lol. Anyway, at least the food tasted good 🙂

We left at around 4AM, and got home at 4:45AM, with only a couple of hours left for me to try and get some sleep before i get up for work. Of course that would never be enough, and that’s why i’m now at the office, looking like a retard with psycho red eyes who is high on some weird crap, and raving about this in my blog, lol.

Outlandish Aicha

We were having lunch at a fast food joint yesterday, when a familiar tune started playing on one of the music channels, it was “Aicha” by Khaled, but this time around it was sung by 3 guys i never saw before and it was in English.

It turns out these guys are a group from Denmark called Outlandish, with roots from Morocco, Pakistan & Honduras.
I like their cover of the song, and they have quite good voices, but the original remains a favourite that is hard to surpass…
What is great though is that i think this is the first international cover of an arab/rai song, and hopefully there’ll be more in the future.

Khaled is one of the most worldwide famous arab stars, and one of the pioneers of RAI music from Algeria, with hits like : Didi, Nsi Nsi, Aicha, Sahra …etc.

Aicha was written by the great Jean-Jacques Goldman, who has written some of the best music ever for superstars like Celine Dion, Florent Pagny, Patrick Fiori and more…

My advice is get both the original and the cover and enjoy this cool song 😉
