what is flagrance?
 |
Fla´gran`cy . The condition or quality of being flagrant; atrocity; heinousness; enormity; excess. Flagrance is good! Once upon a time Barra and David decided that if we were to create our own fragrance, we would call it 'Flagrance'. The idea being that it would be flagrantly expensive and flagrantly nice smelling. Well, we don't know how to develop, manufacture, and market a fragrance, so we have made a blog instead. Deal with it! |

Good song or my dong?
After shamelessly watching the Eurovision at the weekend, this was the song I would've voted for. It sounds pretty good to me, especially for a Eurovision song, but I can't help but fear my judgement is being clouded by my attraction to the singer. What do you think?

Google Your Music More Easily
A few weeks ago I posted about googling music using this code to search:
The reason you may consider using it is that if you are the type of person who gets paranoid about being sued for copyright infringement, this is by far the safest way to download music. Check it out.
-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(wma|mp3) "Nirvana"Well, I just found a site which uses the same method but simplifies it for you. The site is at www.findthatmp3.com, you can also search for videos, ebooks and files.

Do Your Dance
This blog has been running for just over a month and by now some of you are probably thinking "How do David and Barra manage to stay so flagralicious all the time? Well the answer is simple, we were born in the 1980's.
For me it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what I feel about the 80's. It's quite the paradox, on the one hand there was Don Johnson, Pac Man, The Karate Kid, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Rubik's Cubes, but on the other hand there was (that fucking cock) Boy George, and Bono's hair. I think possibly the paradox can be explained by saying that the 1980's in the U.S was good, but in the UK and Ireland it was bad, very bad.
The only thing I can say for sure though is that the 80's was a period of over-the-top, never-say-die flagrancy. Although sometimes the power of flagrancy was used by dark forces (Pet Shop Boys), it was certainly not all bad. And playing on radio stations when Barra and myself came into this world was one of the finest examples you'll ever find of positive flagrancy: "Word Up!" by Cameo.
Cameo are my idols and Word Up! is their synthesized masterpiece. I mean come on, the guy wears a red codpiece for fuck sake! It's ridiculous!
I realised this blog would not be fulfilling its duty without a tribute to Cameo. So put on your codpiece, sit back, and enjoy...
Now that my tribute is over, I also want to show you a rather good site I found. If, like me, you like to hear different covers of songs, then check out The Covers Project. It contains covers of a pretty wide range of songs. The covers seem to be done by proper musicians/bands so its not karaoke stuff. There's not a whole lot of songs on it just now, but the site still describes itself as a beta version so it will probably grow in future. Keep an eye on it.
To get you started, you can check out the rather good cover of Word Up by Willis by clicking this link. Hope you enjoy it.

Google your music
If you don't have any peer-to-peer programs/can't find what you're looking for, then you might aswell try this shizzlenitch:
Taken from here
Perhaps not the most flagrantly stylish means of getting your music, but it definitely works. Remember, once you find your song, right click on it and click 'Save Target As', not that you needed to be told.
-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(wma|mp3) "Nirvana"
Paste that code into google. Just substitute the term "Nirvana" for any band or singer you might be looking for, and your search will lead you to open indexes that contain downloadable music files.

Barra's the name and Upper class Flagrancy is the game. I'm an incurable romantic who is seeking any filthy whore. call me.
My name is David but most call me Armours. I'm an economics student in UCD so that may explain some of my more boring ramblings. I like football, computer games, and being a waste. oh, and my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
