At other music blogs, you could (if you're quick enough, yo) download gorgeous out of print Miles Davis Quintet music, or not even in print yet material from the Strokes, or "The First Day of My Life", (swoon, thud) if you wanna. However, here, um, you can hear about something that i heard about, and maybe live vicariously through my blog to experience the thrills and spills of all shows i go to! Wee! Lucky you.
(Evannah, was that you who left me demented multiple messages a few posts ago??!! Dude! Hollaz at my twin.)
Stellastarr* HAD A NEW ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 13th, 2005. Almost 2 years later to the day that "Jenny" was released we are getting new music from Shaun "wierd voice that doesnt match his pretty face" Christenson and his boys and girl. You can sample some new songs at their site. Go!
The Cribs say, "Take drugs, don't eat, have contempt for those you meet." Normally, I would not take such advice. However, these boys play the violin, they embellish their loud, in your face, punky tracks with the recorder and in their liner notes, thank Edwyn Collins for the "help" with their debut album. Swoon, thud. I am in deep smit with this record and find it hard to remove from the stereo. I am sure having a song on the O.C has not done them any harm, I just hope people look past that "hit" and don't think of them as a one hit wonder, they have alot more to offer. The New Fellas takes no prisoners, yells in your ear, "YOU'RE NOT ALL THAT, YOU ARENT ALLOWED TO SAY YOURE BETTER" and in the same song the humble recorder is allowed to handle the breakdown, before a slamming drum shake-up. WOAH! They might like us to think that they are well 'ard, but then we are not fooled, there are hand claps and "la la la la's" a plenty on this record.
They wear their influences on their ripped stripey sleeves, and have definitely upped the ante with lyrical content that taps straight into what we're all thinking.
