Rough jangling fun, I like them, nice find. (big blank bit at the end was a cool authentic indie touch)Quote:

I'm one of those who likes it a lot, and I wish more pop music like that was on the radio around here. The olden days had good pop, of course, and I'm not saying this is as good as in the olden days (the 80's), but it succeeds at a lot of the things I've always expected pop to do. The video is fun (the guitarist has the right attitude) as well, and the Jimmy Fallon version is definitely worth a watch.Quote:

Anyhow, back to the 80's sound, here's an actual tune from the 80's, non-pop division--or maybe they gave it a shot for a few days, I can't remember, it was a period of transition for radio formats at the time. Anyhow, while this one doesn't come as fully-loaded as that Carly Rae one does, you just gotta love killer writers with cool music and hooks.

Music @2:20. but watch all of it!
Well, I did just now watch all of it, and that was just what I needed. That sort of assignment was right in her wheelhouse at that point in her career. I wasn't going to movies, or listening to pop, and so on at that time, so I know nothing about the film and never heard the song before, so it was a real treat to watch.Quote:

But the news of Lou's relatively recent passing (and the less-recent passing of Classy Freddy) made my smile a little more sincere and appreciative, despite the built-in irony they all worked so hard on.
Wasn't a big wrestling fan, actually--those guys just made an impact real quick when I did watch, I guess.
Anyhow, great ensemble work there (especially once the speaking parts were done with). And the tune was just absolutely fine.
9/10
I'm not sure I can take any more of Carly Rae, it felt like that song was on the radio forever in Canada prior to her big breakthrough into the US, and now that has given her a second life on Canadian airwaves and the song has returned from the dead, or wherever it is radio pop songs go after they've finished their run.

That was great. And their other stuff is great too. I'm enthused. 9/10Quote:

Odd and amusing, but not sure I'd listen to it more than once 5/10.

New single from Metric's latest album.
I’ve gotta tell ya, OP, I liked it. I liked it a lot. I’ve never heard it before, but I dug it on the first go-around. The rhythm section rocked. 9/10.
How about some Nuevo-Hippie stuff:
Cotton Jones, Blood Red Sentimental Blues
