Utter indie obsession as of late, and I can't get tired of off-beat percussion, nonsensical lyrics and muted wailing vocals. ...Maybe that's not the greatest description. Banda numero uno del dia (that was to satisfy all my latin american followers): The Ting Tings. British duo with a bold sound made with simple effects and mastered with intricate timing and multiple,
multiple over-dubs. Warning! Traces of lead singer Katie White's accent is noted to be found in their tracks (which should be reason enough to give them a listen). While clean-cut harmonies, and rounds are added byother band
member and songwriter Jules De Martino. Together these guys have everything to make a good indie/alt-pop sound, as may be noted from all of the TV series that their songs have appeared on. That's Not My Name being the most popular, although I personally really enjoy Great DJ.
Here's another quicky just because I've been so lazy. Although this one is much more well know, and should be if you know your Mac iPod commercials (oh Mac, you know how to do
everything right<3).>The Asteroids Galaxy Tour. Danish-band-with-horns-says-what?! Yes, who'd think horns could be so catchy (Sorry folks I'm defs not a windwoods person), but this band is a huge exception to my usual horn-criticism! Around The Bend was used for one of the international iPod commercials last year which helped to send this upcoming band into the spotlight. They describe their style as psychedelic pop, but whatever it is, this is the perfect beat to walk down the street and pretend you own the city with. I recommend it (not just the song, but the walking/pretend-your-important thing too). Aha.
Okies so if anyone is still with me on this, I hope this is satisfactory!
As for me, I am going to procrastinate study for Spanish test more.
Nighty!
Yours, S.

Great review! I have a small issue though. I went to visit your playlist to get a feel for the Ting Tings, and..... no Ting Tings on your list?!!!! I guess I'll have to do a google search,.....OR, you can upload a song? I'll check back later! Great write-up Sam!
Ciao for now...
PS Long live everything Mac!
I always love the musics you find, plus they always remind me of Nick and Norah's, which just reminds me that there better be snow for Christmas, so we can have magical adventures, <3
Sorry A.A.! I haven't had time to up date the playlist in ... well a good while, but perhaps I shall since there's a request!
Lmao Shadowcat (Dude, totally was going over past names earlier today :P) I love how Nick and Norah's makes you think about snow :) And yes, there will be snow so we can Starbucks and tabooze. We just need it to snow. Tell the weather man.
