Stuff on my Ipod

The other day a new workmate was kind enough to share his music with me. I felt bad only taking a couple of Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd albums........everything else was just....well.....just not up my alley.

Here are a few things I'm listening to these days:
(Just remember I. Am. Not. A. Music. Critic.)


1. The xx

Yet another great recommendation from Rawbean. They have an interesting sound, kind of like The Submarines but a little darker.

2. Midnight Juggernauts
I'm so pleased and proud to say that I stumbled across these guys all by myself. (ie: with no recommendations from Rawbean!) They remind me of an electronic, slightly happier version of She Wants Revenge with Empire of the Sun mixed in. I don't know where I get that, I'm sure you will listen and think 'What is she TALKING about?"



3. Holy Fuck
I've been wanting to check these guys out forever. I haven't really had a chance to sit down and listen yet, but there seem to be a few really good songs on here. One of them for sure reminded me of Shout Out Out Out Out.



4. Faunts
A recommendation from IG, these guys deliver the best in the first song Feel. Love. Thinking. Of. After that, the best song is Alarmed/Lights, the only fault is that the song is too long!

Yup, that's all I've got.

Oh - one more story:
I'm again freaked out by the size of this city. While making plans with Dana she mentioned that they are good friends with one of my new work mates. Not just any work mate either, they are friends with the guy I'm working with the most.

What the hell?!

One of these days, I will have an ipod. Until then, my hot yellow Sony walkman (for cassettes!) will have to do. I wish I was joking.

I totally had yellow Sony walkman! My first tape was Road Apples, Tragically Hip. Heelarious.

Cool - I've been looking for The XX forever! I heard them wayy last year and loved their stuff. :)
