The Clap- The Unicorns
I love the Unicorns, but I think the squeal at the beginning of this one just seals me in!

I didn't believe in ghosts until...
I heard the new Nine Inch Nails stuff, it's 26 tracks that were recorded on pretty much first takes in the studio over a 3 week period, it's a bit on the ambient side of noise rock, and if listened to in it's entirety, sort of feels like a huge trip causing deep reflection and meditation. Simply blissful in every way possible.
By the way, I find it extremely humourous that the last.fm profile cloud bubble for NIN has changed drastically over the past 3 days, from being nearly filled by the tags "industrial" and "industrial rock" to those two, at about half their size, and steadily growing "electronic" and "alternative" tags.

I just need my fix, I swear I'll be fine!
I've come to the conclusion that music is simply an auditory version of herion injected into one's body via soundwaves through your ears. That being said, I've had my share of the good stuff recently. The current musical obsessions I've had over the past few weeks include:
-CocoRosie, to a degree I'd consider it electronic experimental folk, I suppose, I can't think of a more fitting genre, and the voices are what really reel me in.
-Au Revoir Simone, your three-girl indie pop group from Brooklyn, well, I guess it isn't really THAT typical, but either way, it's pretty fantastic
-The Bird and the Bee, I just did a review on them, if that didn't make you want to listen, I'm not quite sure what will
-The Essex Green, one of the Elephant 6 collective groups, having a Lo-Fi indie pop sound, and nearing a sort of twee feel
-Melt-Banana, a product of the experimental Japanese noisecore scene, it's quite spaztic, having short, spectacular songs that you can't help but love, not to mention the arbitrarily picked sound effects inserted at random points throughout the songs
-Black Dice, an experimental group, with many connections and sounding slightly similar to Lightning Bolt, if you enjoy either I also think you should check out Psychedelic Horseshit
-Prefuse 73, a hip-hop/electronic/trip-hop producer from Spain, his songs range in length but if all played together, can prove to be quite ambient, or maybe just because I typically listen to him on rainy days...
-New Order, essentially what defined 80's electronic music, listen to Bizarre Love Triangle, need I say more?
-Times New Viking, Lo-Fi noise rock, their latest album was simply superb, though I will say it's to a degree, an acquired taste for most due to the intense distortion of the sound
-Sally Shapiro- Modern day disco, I named my bike after this artist, and if you wanna check her out, make sure to hear the tracks "I'll Be By Your Side" and it's remix!

The Talk
The Bird and the Bee EPs, "Please Clap Your Hands" and "One Too Many Hearts" - 8.0/10
Though this may not be quite the "talk" your father had with you as you were wrapping up those memorable puberty years, The Bird and the Bee surely bring with them the power of such a talk, the music's ability to hook you in in nearly immeasurable. The closest artist comparison I could make would be if one were to take the soothing side of the background music from Lily Allen and cross it with the beautiful voice of the Norwegian pop star Annie, and spiked this mix once in a while with a dash of Belle and Sebastian. The songs are simply relaxing, and have the jingle feel that gives them a major replay value in my books to say the least. Among my favorite songs would be "Come As You Were" with it's staccato rhythm that begs to be sung along to on the latter half of the song, and "The Polite Dance Song", with it's reminiscent sounds from the pop your parents would listen to from decades previous. All in all, the blend in simply spectacular, and mark my words, this band as one that will surely grow with in the next year.
