Apr. 11th, 2007 10:24 pmSUPERNEW; got them yesterday instead of working like I was apposed to. I got a lot from fluxblog. Used to be that I hauled a lot of stuff off iGIF but I'm very much into poppy, groovy things (groppy, poovy?) these days. iGIF is getting very, very, very hit and miss for me. They oversell a lot of the songs!!
Yelle - Je Veux Te Voir
This song is stupidly awesome. Awesome to a stupid degree. It sounds like Prototype's Who's Gonna Sing? pumped up to maximum awesome. I want to play this really loud outside my dorm window and watch everything on ground level bounce to it in unison. It's in French! I don't understand any of it! Four years, what?
Hot Chip - Boys From School
Slow n chillaxed, high quality, introspective electronic. "Helplessly, helplessly."
Dixie Chicks - The Long Way Around
I love harmonies and strong female vocals. "My friends from high school, married their high school boyfriends; moved into houses, in the same zip code as their parents."
Mates of State - Fraud in the 80's
And shimmery shimmyness. "You will surely find this, you will surely find this, pleasing to your ears! Pleasing to your ears!" (At first - when I first heard this, YESTERDAY - I was annoyed with this lyric because it was too twee and contrived and self-referential, but I dunno now! I find its stupidity kinda charming.)
Avril Lavigne - Runaway
I never really had a problem with Avril Lavigne except for the fact that her music sucked. I'm not even at the level to be offended by her punkness or lack thereof. Thusly I have this song on my ipod. She slings out her words so cutely. *pinches cheeks* "Got up on the wrong side of love today, yhyah."
Joe Cocker - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Used with brilliance in Layer Cake. "Oh, but I'm just a soul whose intentions are good - oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood."
The Killers - When You Were Young (live acoustic at Abbey Road)
Don't let the haters get you down, Brandon Flowers, I love you even more now!! You are totally one of my best beloveds. No joke, I really love his voice in the new album and here, it gives a lot of tenderness with its restraint. I love this song. "You're waiting for some beautiful boy to, to save you from your old ways."
Kylie Minogue - Love at First Sight (live at Sidney)
Kylie Minogue sounds like a lovely person. This made me so :DDDD, you have no idea. <3333 The words are not the point here. The point is :DDDDD <333333.
Muse vs. Britney Spears - Supermassive Black Hole/Do Something
You know how some people can't swallow pills so they have to crush them up or smush them into a banana? Apparently my system can only tolerate Britney Spears if it's a) not Britney Spears at all but a cover or b) A MASH-UP. Holy tapdancing beans, do I love mash-ups. "*falsetto* Oooh baby, don't you know I suffahh?"
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Little Dawn
Shake the Sheets is an amazing album. If you can get it, get it, yo. RUN TO IT. I hadn't listened to outside the cursory go-through until a couple of weeks ago. "But on the days and nights, it's hard to breathe, and you can't believe you still walk the streets - stretch out your weary hand, it's alri-i-i-i-ght."
Raise your hands if you want some slower/"weirder" stuff (ie, not as catchy - not that that makes it better or whatever; music is about JOY and CATCHINESS as well as Deep Things and going crazy in a studio), cuz I got that too. Represent.
