Count Your Lucky Stars is putting out two albums next month that I'm stoked for, "Audible" by Football, Etc. and "I Don't Even Care Anymore" by Dowsing. Here are the two debut tracks from that, which I've been digging:
Hmm, you may be familiar, but if you like this kind of sound, you should check out Los Campesinos. They sound similar to me for whatever reason. I think there most heard song is You! Me! Dancing!
Oh yeah, I already listen to Los Compesinos. They're another good band!
The new Dowsing song is kick ass. I really liked their first album, though it took awhile for it to grow on me. I'm considering buying this new one on vinyl.
I'm so torn between buying that, Football etc, or Modern Baseball on vinyl.
I am a huge fan of pop culture ephemera, and I have a particular interest in movie tie-ins that time has forgotten. I have discovered a 1998 single called Take Me There, a tie-in to The Rugrats Movie that managed to make it to #14 in the summer of 1998 with the hook from then C-lister Mýa, one of the worst verses I've ever heard from a then-not-retired-and-then-unretired Ma$e, some input from Blackstreet, and someone named Blinky Blink I've never heard of. It's not a good song by any means, but it's still a curious, interesting piece of pop culture history. Also, there's the tie-in to Dr. Doolittle, the Timbaland-produced Are You That Somebody? by the late, great Aaliyah. It's a meandering, eerie, thoroughly fantastic Timbaland beat before he really got into his groove and started putting up megahits with The Neptunes.
I always see these and never post. Have to this time. Music that's been on repeat for the last week or so; Doses and Mimosas - Cherub is the anthem of my summer the wheel - S O H N a haunting beaut' Heatbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley I've been riding this wave of appreciation for the King. My favorite pandora station is Elvis Presley, he can be fun as hell
I've been listening to The Computers' Love Triangles, Hate Squares quite a bit. Love Triangles, Hate Squares.
A friend of mine just showed me Annalee and the Midnight Sons today. I haven't decided yet if I like her voice or not, but the band is very smooth.
