A Christmassy Bliss!

Hey everyone! We here at Ignorant Bliss would like to extend to you our warmest holiday wishes.

This is what I (Adam) have to say: "It BETTER be a merry Christmas, or else I'll have to start cracking some heads around here..."
Leah says this: "Christmas? I think I read about it during my studies as a fourth year English major. Its alright."
Dave has this wonderful message for all the world's children: "Fuck."

NOTE: All of these were thought up by me. Adam. This of course is my interpretation of their thoughts and feelings on the subject of Christmas. I'm probably right, though.

ANYWAYS. Everyone go to Cullen Live!

Episode 12- Nicole Kidman Works But Once A Year

This is the FINAL EPISODE of SEASON ONE OF Ignorant Bliss with Dave and Adam and Leah! You can listen to it right here!

Episode 12- Nicole Kidman Works But Once A Year (NC) - Dave And Adam And Leah

Season two begins January 8th, 2009!

Episode 12 is chock full of goodies. What do Dave and Adam and Leah talk about? All sorts of things!

They talk about their Most Listened To Song Of The Week, for instance:
Adam's Pick: Tombstone- The Midnight Juggernauts
Leah's Pick: Girl On The Wing- The Shins
Dave's Pick: Life On Mars??- David Bowie

Moving swiftly from the Most Listened To, Dave regales Adam and Leah with a tale of a far away land called "Australia", and of its king and queen. It sounds like a wonderful place.

Now the gang goes into uncharted territory. They talk about TELEVISION! Leah talks about the David Duchovny show "Californication", but mainly they talk about their three favourite shows. Someone cheats. Guess who (David).

Dave's favourite television shows: Six Feet Under, Father Ted, Pushing Daisies, AND The Office. AND Extras!

Leah's favourite television shows: The Office, Lost, and Firefly
Adam's favourite television shows: Dexter, The Office, and multiple children's shows, such as Eureka's Castle, Reading Rainbow, Today's Special, and all those other lovely shows.

The Video Of The Week is semi-Christmas themed. Well, its directed by Tim Burton, and he likes snow. So there it is. Also, its an amazing song.








Here's some BONUS Video Of The Week videos!
Todd Vs. Margo
Sled Vs. Hill
Ah, Christmas classics.

Also, Ignorant Bliss will be presenting Cullen Live 2009 on January Third at Showplace Peterborough! Come one come all!

The Song For The Lovers this week is Be My Baby, by Vanessa Paradis.

Episode 11 of Ignorant Bliss with Dave and Adam and Leah is missing something. Leah. She's in France, setting things in motion. She'll be back next week with tales of wonder.

This week, Dave and Adam went with a cocktail theme, musically. The music they chose really represented an era when theft was an art.

The Most Listened To This Week was:
Dave's Pick: Mushaboom- Feist
Adam's Pick: Barato Total- Gal Costa
Leah's Pick: Aguas De Marco- Antonio Carlos Jobim

Dave and Adam then spent a large portion of time disussing movies. Adam watched (in no particular order) My Name Is Bruce, A Cross The Universe, and Mulholland Drive. Dave watched (in no particular order) Tropic Thunder: The Director's Cut and Wall-E, not to mention the essential Cable Guy, with Jim Carrey. Leah didn't watch anything. She was busy.

And now it comes to the heist. Dave and Adam detail at length their plans for pulling off the biggest heist in history ever. Lets just say it involves the Louvre. And Spanish buyers. This intricate scheme will be pulled off most cunningly, with nary a hint of a problem. In fact, many of the events in the "Ocean's" movies were inspired by David and Adam's actions. That lady behind the counter won't even see it coming....... what?

Neither David NOR Adam mentioned the Video Of The Week because, well, it goes without saying that this is possibly the funniest video ever:



The Song For The Lovers this week finished the theme of cocktail music in the best way possible, thanks to the Charlie Steinmann Orchestra with "It Is Such A Good Night".

Episode 10- The Gang Goes Commercial

Well hello, everyone!

This episode is CHOCK FULL of goodness. Its got everything! Robert Pattinson(Pattison? Patterson?), Twilight, commercials, music, videos, and MAGIC! Well, not REALLY magic, but still. That would be cool.

David pushes the show along at a blistering pace, with the whole Ignorant Bliss crew sliding face first into their Most Listened To for this week. This week has a theme! "Women with pianos". As you'll remember from last week's episode, David and Adam gave Leah a hard time (again) about always picking music that was pretty much just a girl and her piano. So this week, Adam and David decided THEY would pick some "girl and her piano" music. What did they pick? Read on to find out:

Adam's Pick: If You Were My Man (Demo)- Linda Perhacs (One of those two links is real. You figure it out)
Dave's Pick: Crowd Surf Off A Cliff- Emily Haines
Leah's Pick: Speeding Cars- Imogen Heap

There was no book to review this week! That's right. They've reviewed every book in existence.

When it came time to talk about a movie, the whole gang had something to say. Listen to every word, the subtle nuances and flow of the conversation and see if they liked the movie they saw. What movie did they see? TWILIGHT, of course! Here's the trailer (no bias, of course).

After the heated discussion over the Stephanie Meyers novel, the gang moves right along into territory previously uncovered by them. Music they like. "Well, they've done that!" you cry. But have they talked about music they like from commercials? No. They haven't. Sit back down. That's right. In this episode, David and Adam and Leah talk about their favourite commercials, and their favourite music from commercials.

Easily enough, this week's Video Of The Week came from this frank discussion. Here it is. Mr. Bucket:

Uhh... put your what? Jeez, Dave.

Here are the commercials Adam and Leah talked about:
Leah: Discover New Music
Adam: Urge Music (He said Sirius Satellite Radio. He was wrong.)

Here's the link to those hilarious Halifaxians "Picnicface".
Here's the link to that "Jerk It Out" song. Turns out, it was for the iPod Shuffle. The song's by "The Caesars".
Here's ANOTHER link. Its for the iPod Touch commercial.
Here's a link to something crazy AND Japanese!

The Song For The Lovers THIS week was by Mr. Sebastien Tellier once more. He's the king of love, apparently. The song was called "Pomme".
Here's how he describes it: "This is the song which is most representative of the whole album. I see it as the most erotic as well as the sweetest. The apple is the forbidden fruit. The sun waits until the lovers have finished making love before rising. He doesn't want to disturb them."
... what. a. visionary.

As well as the originally broadcast version being available for download, you can download the "unabridged" version at NO EXTRA COST!!!

Also, there's a special "bonus" episode hosted by Heather 22, which features all of the music that wasn't included in this week's episode!
You can download the Original Episode here!
You can download the Unabridged Episode here!
And you can download the Bonus Heather 22 Special here! Its twenty five extra minutes of Bliss! That's a WHOLE EPISODE of Drew Carey!

Episode 9- Goodbye Solace!

Hello again, true believers!

This week, Dave talks about a movie, Leah talks about a movie, and Adam talks about a movie!
No BOOKS! WHAT A FRIGHTENING DEPARTURE FROM THE NORM!

Here's our suggestion for some good readin', though:
This!

Annnnnnnnnyways, here's what the gang listened to the most this week!

Dave's Pick: Love Is New- Brendan Canning
Leah's Pick: Silent Sigh- Badly Drawn Boy
Adam's Pick: Two Minutes To Midnight- Justice

At this point, you're probably saying to yourself "what did Dave talk about?". Well, never fear. He talks about a movie about a little girl who messes things up. Don't know what it is? Its THIS!

... Kidding! Its really Atonement. Some would say the first was better than the other...

Leah talked about a German movie. GERMAN (Unwissende Glücksrichtlinien!((that means "Ignorant Bliss Rules!" in German!!!)! Filmed in Germany! Well, probably.

Nex thing in the show is the in depth discussion of the new James Bond film, "The Quantum Of Solace". It definitely was a hot discussion. Lots of ideas and thoughts passed back and forth like so much words. Absolutely worthy of a listen. By the way. Who would win in a fight? Nicholas Cage? Or John Cusack? James Bond? Or Spider-Man? Batman? Or Spider-Man? These questions and more are answered on this week's show. And it all makes sense!

Also, Dave graces the airwaves with his own version of the theme song for Quantum Of Solace, but it sadly wasn't accepted. Some other two people got to the producers first. Oh well. Next time, Dave. Next time.

Also, the Ignorant Blissers let you, the audience decide if you like the theme for Quantum or not. A lot of people didn't, but a lot of other people did. Its now your turn to take a side.

They watched a WHOLE BUNCH OF VIDEOS, THIS WEEK. WOW. LIKE, A LOT.
Here's the one they eventually decided on. Its amazing:



Here's some other ones that they watched, too. 'Cause they watched a lot, they decided that you should, too.
This is a good one.
This one, too.
Annnnnnnd this one.

Alright. Song For The Lovers? You got it!
Take Yo' Praise- Camille Yarborough
NO. IT ISN'T FATBOY SLIM.
THIS IS FATBOY SLIM.

HERE'S THE EPISODE: Episode 9- Goodbye Solace
SORRY ABOUT THE YELLING. ITS JUST INFURIATING WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT.
