College- The Secret Diary MixDear Diary, Giggidy giggidy! Christmas is right around the corner and I haven't posted a thing in ages. Forgive me for my lack of determination. These past few months have been action packed. Full time employment was thoroughly kicking my ass over the summer and I lost all my free time. Thankfully, I quit the Nazi regime and am now officially unemployed. Just in time for gift giving season? Maybe not so much. Anyways, more free time means more free music for you! Deep within my arsenal of music and videos, I decided that french performer College would do us all some good this holiday season. Born in 1979, David Grellier takes the intensity of 80s film soundtracks mixed with the reality of American TV Shows and transforms the two into a very Night Rider-Esque sound that often makes me space out and forget my surroundings. This effect is meant to be an echo of the cinematic themes of his childhood and it certainly spills over into the lives of his many listeners.
In 2007, David created The Valerie Collective with friends Anoraak, The Outrunners, Minitel Rose, Russ Chimes and Maethelvin. The collective have been captivating the eyes and ears of many in the blog world as they aim to promote their music and musical values through blogs and online resources. Touring many European Capitol's this year has proven to be a step in the right direction for the collective as they continue to produce music for fast-lane lifers and music minds alike. This christmas, pop in College's Secret Diary Mix and do the egg nog boogie with your family and friends. After all, isn't that what Christmas is truly about? Check out College on myspace for more great mix's and upcoming shows!
