A week ago I came to the decision that I was going to end my internship this week so I can find a paying job. However, the people at Island know how to rope me in; Eric says I'm awesome, JB says I'm family, and LA Reid says "I'm the cutest thing in the world" SERIOUSLYYY!?!? So, I am currently looking for a p/t that will allow me to stay and receive such wonderful comments. Damn it, I had to brag just this once!Now back to business:
My wonderful friend Ms. DJ Trini Massive sent me awesome bands that I'm going to check out aaaasap! I am so excited to jam out to them, they just sound awesome!
I've been getting some feedback on bands that I've mentioned checking out and people LOVE. So here are links in case you want to jump on the bandwagon:
1. Peter Adams and the Nocturnal Collective: Very indie but so f'n good! I definitely hear some Elliott Smith but I've gotten things like Beatles meets Elliott Smith; I was thinking Coldplay meets Neutral Milk. Adams' falsetto accompanies his violin rhythms in atmospheric matrimony. Go to: www.myspace.com/peteradamsandthenocturnalcollective Listen to: Cementalisque
2. Bear Hands: I am really into this Brooklyn band. Reminiscent of the Detachment Kit they have really good guitar melodies and just enough distortion. I cannot wait to see this band live... I can't wait to just see them period; they have no pics. Go to: www.myspace.com/bearhandsband Listen to: Bad Blood
3. Vampire Weekend: A retro-indie rock band with a bit of calypso-like drumming. They are also a New York band so if you're in the area try to find them! Go to: www.myspace.com/vampireweekend Listen to: Mansard Roof
A band worth mentionting is The Ting Tings: Melodramatic Popular Song never made sense to me until I heard this group. The UK's diamond in the rough is definitely worth listening to now because shit could get big. We sat in the office thinking of all the bands that we can compare Ting Tings to (gosh I love the name) and came up with The Pipettes, Lily Allen, and the Mint Chicks. Eric mentioned Gnarls Barkley and I had to put an end to it. Not only are the songs catchy but the girl is HOTTT! "Little girls will want to be her and guys will want to do her" as so lovingly put by Joanna. Go to: www.myspace.com/thetingtings Listen to: Both songs!
People I need more feedback and bands to listen to!!! AIM me at Chadidipop or leave messages here!
Love ya!
