It's a bird!
It's a dinosaur! No... IT'S THE REBIRTH OF EVERYONE'S FAVORITE THREAD! (Pause for applause) That's right. I'm tired of the hiatus. I am back and ready to blow your minds once again. You. Are. Welcome. Unfortunately, I am still the procrastinating/lazy person I was before, so I do not currently have the desire to write out a long, in-depth album review like so many others that you can find around this site. Instead, I'm going to do this: Five Songs That Have Recently Infested Themselves In My Earholes ...Damn, I am edgy. 1. Here's To Life - Streetlight Manifesto First of all, holy shit isn't that intro awesome? Secondly, holy shit, aren't those horns awesome? Thirdly, ok, I love the vocals but I know they aren't for everyone. But they fit the music and you don't need the best of voices to sing at these speeds, right? A few months ago while discussing the vocals of Against Me!'s Tom Gabel, Pete (shout out!) sent me A Call to Arms by Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution which is where I first heard this song (both Streetlight Manifesto and BOTAR are fronted by Tomas Kalnoky, who is also a former member of Catch 22). I've been listening to a lot of ska-punk/horn heavy music lately, and this song is one of my current favorites. 2. Nantes - Beirut Beirut is my newest obsession. I am a member of the group Zach Condon, I Might Just Rape You on Facebook, I have a picture of Zach Condon as the background of my computer, and Zach Condon's discography replaced Radiohead on my 4GB iPod........... I know, right? You know when you find a band that just blows you away and you fall in love at first listen? You have that moment of pure joy and think to yourself "where has this band been all my life?" My discovery of Beirut was one of those moments. Nantes is quickly becoming one of my most played tracks, and I am so certain that you'll love it, that upon your request I will send you the whole album The Flying Club Cup for free! 3. The Vowels Pt. 2 - WHY? After I downloaded Alopecia I listened to this about eight times before I even made it to the second song of the album. This is an example of me stumbling upon a band I later realize is exactly the kind of band I was looking for. I love the internet. The entire album is really amazing, and even worth paying money for. I don't really have any other words to describe it. I need better words. Probably my favorite opening track since Interpol's Untitled. Speaking of Interpol... 4. There's No I in Threesome - Interpol My favorite thing about Interpol is that they don't sound like anyone else. My other favorite thing about Interpol is the tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Babe, it's time we give something new a try Alone we may fight So just let us be free tonight Through the storms and the light Baby you stood by my side And life is wine You feel the sweet breath of time It's whispering it's truth not mine There's no I in threesome 5. Fight The Power - Public Enemy I don't think I even need to say anything about this one. Yeah, boy! As always, links are available upon request. |

First of all, I HAVE to hear more of Beirut. I may have just fallen in love with that song.
Second of all, I love you a lot. And your taste in music. <3 |

I <3 Beirut, and Nantes is a pretty great song for sure. Really though, that entire album is just gorgeous isn't it? My personal fave is A Sunday Smile though.

Sunday Smile is lovely. I had a hard time deciding whether to post it or Nantes, actually. But you're right, the entire album is phenominal. I'd say it's one of the best of the decade. |
