Don't watch the people you love grow old
Just watch the people you hate grow cold
Don't watch the people you love grow old
Just watch the people you hate grow cold
I couldn't find much on Franky Flowers, but I can tell you a few things; they're young, from LA and remind me a whole lot of Built to Spill in their early years. In other words, they're fun, kinda quirky, with a guitar-driven sound that caught my attention right away. Looking forward to hearing more from them.
If I go along with you
If you go along with me
We could take the final fall
I know a good place to eat
Tell me all the things you know
List of every book you read
Maybe we could meet again
I'm free every night next week
Wow, thanks Discover Weekly! Not sure if this little group out of Sydney would have hit my consciousness otherwise. "The Noise" is considered to be the first single from their (forthcoming) EP, which will be their third. They are self-described creators of "a loud wall of sound," and it's a sound I heart a lot, so I really hope I get to see them live sometime.
Does it feel better
To be in an Ivy League sweater?
Put your work shoes on
And talk about her at your shitty job
Does it feel better
In that cold Boston weather?
Diet Cig was one of the more entertaining acts we saw at SXSW this year. It's fun, clever pop with a bit of a hilarious edge. And live? Well I don't think I've seen two people have as much fun on stage since the last time I saw Matt & Kim. Here's a taste:
Take it back baby
Yeah you want to survive
Your messin' up baby
Now it's makin' you mad
Stayin' out late
Do whatever you like
I really didn't bet you don't go out tonight
Oh, you couldn't take the pressure
To get out of your head
Beat it back baby
Put the kids to bed
In trying to think of what we should play on the Fourth of July, Kerri and I talked through a number of scenarios that involved either the massively popular (Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, etc.) or recognizably American (Bruce Springsteen, etc.) Well, I've got the keyboard and I'm going in a different, yet no less American, direction with a killer, all-female garage band out of ATL: The Coathangers. Ready to get dirty and "Make It Right" this fourth? Listen on.
(Haha, while searching for the lyrics to "Make It Right" the first thing that showed up on the search-ahead was "make America great again". I think my search is much better, and more accurate for how I'm feeling about this holiday.)
His presents don't really come for free
Your paychecks don't mean that much to me
Just take my hand and hold me tight
You'll never buy my love!
You buy me this and you buy me that
To win over! Win me over!
You got me wrong and thats a fact
Somethin' that you've got to love, this...
Closing out collab week with this groovy song created by a young French electronic producer working with an R&B/Jazz band out of Melbourne. Perfect for the Sunday night of a summer on a 3-day weekend: whether you want to wind it down on a positive note or start your Independence Day party early, This Girl works.
