SIDE NOTE: I’ll be DJing at 3am on WRFL. If you’re awake, feel free to listen.
Lisa O’Neill and Emma Anderson, better known as Sing Sing, have put together one of the best songs I’ve heard in a while. ‘Come, Sing Me a Song’ will be appearing on Sing Sing and I, out on February 14th.
MP3: Sing Sing - Come, Sing Me a Song
This song is like a blueprint for everything a girl pop band should aspire to be. There are a myriad of instruments that jump in and out of the mix, each contributing something to the sound. Particularly great are the laid back acoustic guitar and the wonderfully planned horn bursts. But let’s not forget the vocals. Unfortunately I’m not familiar enough with the band to pick out who is singing what part. But either way, both main and backing vocals are glorious and deserving of applause. Don’t be surprised if this winds up in a movie as ‘care-free summer vacation in the tropics’ music.
So the University of Kentucky has decided to block all file sharing programs. That means I can’t download any tv shows (that aren’t available on DVD) and I can’t randomly download songs that get stuck in my head. So if anyone wants to post a link to ELO’s ‘Mr. Blue Sky,’ I’d be your best friend.(UPDATE: A kind soul left an mp3 for me. Thanks!)
Looks like The Elected will be playing a free show with Jenny Lewis tonight in Hollywood. If you show up at The Hotel Cafe (1623 1/2 Cahuenga Blvd.) between 3-5pm, you’ll get a bracelet to be one of 150 people at the show.
