9/26/11 - High Five!

I really need to be writing again. I am so busy and don't have any time for myself. I am just going to take my iPod and write about the first 5 songs to play. I'll try to do this as often as possible but, no promises here:)


YUCK - Suicide Policeman: Yuck is one of the better new bands on the scene. Check out the following link for a performance of this song via pitchfork. Love it!http://http://pitchfork.com/tv/tunnelvision/1640-yuck/2607-suicide-policeman/#ooid=phOXJkMjp7MUxh7ASdscZD9b25YaqX9C

THE WEEPIES - Hideaway: Deb Talan has a great voice. I love the poppy-yet-folky sounds that The Weepies produce. They have the best sing along songs even if I don't quite understand the lyrics. One thing is for sure, in every song you'll hear about the stars, sky or universe.

YEAH YEAH YEAHS - Tick: Karen O is so bad ass. Her voice is so strange on this song; she is screaming... and its awesome. I love this album (Fever To Tell) and Karen O can do no wrong in my eyes. With the song only being 1:48 it leaves you wanting more!

SNOW PATROL - It's Beginning To Get To Me: A relationship gone bad... The great thing about the lyrics is he realizes what has gone bad. The music is good but the lyrics are fit for Grey's Anatomy.

CULTS - You Know What I Mean: I LOVE Madeline's voice. She has this sweet almost sad sounding voice. It is especially evident in this song. The hand claps and snaps give the song an old time vibe. All around great song but especially good on those somber rainy days.
