Practically every day that I go to the gym I think, you know, I should blag about some of the songs I like. This is not a music blag, but maybe folks would be interested in listening to some music here every so often. So here it is!<\/p>\n
(n.b. I’m going to link to these songs, so if the links break because the other sites’ owners take them down it’s not my fault!)<\/p>\n
The Postmarks: Goodbye<\/a> — I think I heard about these kids on the indiepop list<\/a>. This is a great sweet catchy pop song. I especially love the horns + strings. But I don’t like any of the other songs they have on their site. Very odd. Also odd: Jonathan heard this song in the Lowe’s when he was buying plumbing stuff a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n Annemarie: Apple (suicide on your stereo set)<\/a> — These kids are from Singapore, I think? And I think a friend pointed me to this song. Very twee + singable (except that I can’t figure out what they are saying!).<\/p>\n The Consultants: Hollow-Bodied Evening<\/a> — An oldie from my friend Ed’s excellent Shelflife<\/a> label. Wistful but catchy pop, with enough BPM for the gym.<\/p>\n Best Fwends: Skate Or Live<\/a> — You may remember that these funny crazy Austin kids were one of my fave (and only!) live shows<\/a> this year. Even after 6 months I still love this song. Good for the morning, will wake you up! For some reason I couldn’t find an mp3 for this so here is a video.<\/p>\n MJ Hibbett and the Validators: Easily Impressed<\/a> — This song is really fantastic, especially if you are tiny bit depressed. Possible downside: you may giggle out loud at the lyrics, provoking stares at the gym. Whatever<\/i>. Linked from my friend Punk Rock Karl<\/a>‘s blag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Practically every day that I go to the gym I think, you know, I should blag about some of the songs I like.
