I like very much

I felt a bit guilty leaving everyone on the weekend with that atrocity from Evermore, really I think that should of been something I dropped on Monday when everyone is pissed off anyways.

So to make amends here is a few tunes I've been diggin'

Emiliana Torrini

First up is Emiliana Torrini. Took me a while to get into this tidy track entitled "Jungle Drum" and I cannot honestly tell you whether or not it was seeing her cute little face in the film clip might have enhanced my opinion of it. But thats the business isn't it, it pays to be hot and for me, it definitely pays to have that hint of slightly broken english to her vocals too. My only criticism, once you've heard Jack Black do his "fliggigeoooreeeooos" everyone else seems below par. But from the minute she pops up and announces "HEY I'm in love" I think she had my jungle drum beating.

Swan Lake

Ok I won't sit here and tell you I am the wikipedia when it comes to Indie. While all you cool kids were playing your little indie songs, I was playing rugby league, getting smashed by tongans pretending I was going to be somebody, much like you, except the tongans merely rolled you at the train station on your way to the UnOfficial Broken Social Scene Book Club meeting. So when I say Swan Lake is a band featuring Spencer Krug (Wolf Parade), Dan Bejar (Destroyer, New Pornographers), and Carey Mercer (Frog Eyes, Blackout Beach) you'd probably jizz in your pants right?

I couldn't give a shit who they are or were, I know about 10 songs collectively from all those other bands and no im not sorry for that. What I do know is that Swan Lake is brilliant and I like it alot.

Will this inspire me to go searching for every member's back catalogue? certainly not. But I think this enhances the street cred of this super group, in that someone who knows nothing of their past is still impressed!
