Ok some of these are new and some have a light dusting of delicious mold on them. But all are on my MP3 player right now.
I like this because its 80s perfection. The navel gazing lyrics are suitably teenangsty and she's super cute in a lovely pasty English way. She wrote me back when i wrote her a fan email and asked her to come play NYC and was really sweet. Also she looks like this girl Michelle i was friends with when i was 18 or 19. Michelle spoke french (in rooms where noone else was), ended up being a fruit fly geneticist or some such swot, made being an entitled bitch an art form, and was a superior lay. So, i like this chick and this song.
Saw these geezers open for Delphic. Very very goofy and fun. Their dj was also one of the most beautiful boys i've seen in yonks.
The Little Ones are so fucking good. I think i came across them originally because of the Crystal Castles remix. Loverly stuff. Farm Song is my favorite track off Morning Tide [2008]. Its like a 50/60s prom song that you slow danced too. But kinda psychedelic-like. I often hear it playing in the background of my head when i roll over in my sleep at 3 in the morning.
Raised by Swans of course made it in to my world via that [*eyeroll*] film, Chloe. At least something positive came out of that experience. Love em as i usually do bands of the Canadian experience. At their best, they have the urgency of Silversun Pickups but without the sinister lady-man vocals. New album for 2010 but i'm still enjoying the last one:
And on while we're on about Canada, Wintersleep is back on the player since i'm seeing them on Monday:
I love this song. It's a good driving at night song. "A warm hand...a short skirt...a soft blanket
And there was this song by some Scottish cats that gets me pumped for some reason. It's rather an epic sound.
Hot chip was a killer show this year and i still crack the f up when they play the video on Logo. It's perfection.
Hot Chip - I Feel Better
Hot Chip | MySpace Music Videos
Some gentle francophone pop i'm diggin (newish album from Dumas)
And nope, still not sick of this Anathallo song: Beautiful and melancholy but never snoresville.
I also like Parallels from again, CANADA. Back again to the 80s they've perfected a certain subgenre. Like, hot blond chick + Kate Bush + Berlin + Missing Persons + uh, Quarterflash - sax = Parallels
. I like this song better:
Archie Bronson Outfit are pretty sweet. Wanna see them play bad:
Phantogram give me a big old girl boner. Excellent live. Hot hot. "I saw your face in a film tonight/ I wanted to touch the screen / I'll never be free again..."
And before there was Ellie Goulding's cover, there was just Midlake
Mmmmmmm.
When they're not busy being Vampire Weekendish twee, Eire's Two Door Cinema Club taps my toes.
Cool video. He pulled his head off. Fun.
Because it's on a Target commercial:
Along the lines of Anathallo's strings angst epicness, i will forever keep this on the virtual turntable
[Wait for the 'WOO!']
And back on rotation, Jeremy Silver's, Lay Low...even tho it reminds me of the time i wasted watching Otalia on Guiding Light 2 years ago. Grrrr
Uhn, and anything by Say Hi to Your Mom. For hand-holding
Tweet tweet it's summer:
When i need house-ing, Cassius ftw Also, that was a kick ass video in the day.
