“Magnet” is the next single off BBC’s debut I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose. the chorus is incredible, it just takes off with “oooooooo” and hooks baby hooks. so with guns blazin, who wins in a draw: “magnet” or the interpol catalogue?? our $$$ is on zombie ian curtis after an entrance from another dimension. either way, “magnet” is a glance at the future of a young and rather promising group..

Fanfarlo - “Ghosts”

the deeper we dig into Fanfarlo’s debut album Reservoir, the better it gets. this UK based band simply make indie pop that does what it wants, and as contradicting of a statement as that should be, we all know what it means. they’ll be at the Troubadour in LA on September 15 and so will we.

Citizen Cope - “Let the Drummer Kick”

Citizen Cope - “Let the Drummer Kick”

Citizen Cope is the pseudonym of Clarence Greenwood. off his self-titled debut LP in 2002, “Let the Drummer Kick” is a good example of how solid music will remain relevant. synched on So You Think You Can Dance, an Acura commercial and many others 6+ years after it was released, Greenwood is clearly an early proponent of the licensing that so many today seek. is that a bad thing? as Iggy Pop puts it, “If people want to use my songs to sell sausages, that’s fine because they weren’t made for sausages.” will this song be used for sausages? only time will tell.. but the good news is “you don’t even have to wait”
