MS Picks - Best of 2006 volume 4
Day four of MP3 bombing ends today. Have a happy Friday.
Belle and Sebastian - "Sukie in the Graveyard"
"This song has a distinct Bowie vibe. With a character driven story named in the title and everything."
//Original Post
"Tapes ‘n Tapes have been described as Pixies-esque, but I would add that their sound is more like what Nirvana would have actually sounded like had Kurt fully embraced Frank Black and co."
//Original Post
"I could listen to these two digress into the night indefinitely...wait a second! Did Sonic Youth turn me into a jam band fan? If so, can I sue?"
//Original Post
A Sunny Day in Glasgow - "A Mundane Phone Call to Jack Parsons"
"Guitar, both in soft ringing and ominous white noise form whooshes around the vocal refrain as complementary elements bleed in and out of the mix as they please."
//Original Post
Holy Shit - "Written all over your Face"
"This song is excellent. Highly Recommended."
//Original Post
1900s - "Patron Saint of the Mediocre"
"Rhythmic vocals and jazzy music take a walk through the psyche-rock park to say “hello, howdy, hi” to The Zombies"
//Original Post
Peter Bjorn & John - "Young Folks"
"When I first heard it I thought (with Camera Obscura in mind), "Man, alot of girls are sounding like the chick from the Concretes these days." Then I look it up and of course it is the girl from the Concretes."
//Original Post
"Can Brian Wilson harmonies share space with familiar bombastic crispness of the Flaming Lips, stay on pace with twee pop acoustic guitars, and elevate into high-register vocals? Sure they can."
//Original Post
"[S]trange but cool, a dance party for sleepwalkers."
//Original Post
"Shoegaze touchmarks sure, but this one moves around too much to bore with an endless drone as genre purists might demand."
