Dispensing Music Now

You ever have one of those posts where you fight to say things in an entertaining manner and it just doesn't come to you?

This will be a utilitarian post. I will disseminate information and you will absorb and accept or reject it based on your musical taste.

I told Liseysmom I would mention some of the music I've been hooked on lately, as I'm want to do.

First up is Hello Operator. I discovered them through the Hoooka of the Day newsletter I get from indie911. Their recently released EP was described thusly: "It merges the band's new wave pop sensibilities with their other influences including brit-pop, punk, and 70's rock n' roll."

I can't find their songs in my regular embedded music player so you get the full multimedia experience. I would also suggest listening to "Just Another Girlfriend" on their Myspace page. They remind me of a slightly harder version of The Cars, all modernized post-punk-sounding like The Killers or The Bravery. I liked them enough I picked up everything I could find by them on iTunes.



Next up is Mew. They're a Danish band that had a single of the week on iTunes a while back, Apocalypso. I only gave them a cursory listen but they were recently brought to my attention again. I'm at a loss when trying to describe them... maybe The Cure meets Smashing Pumpkins?

Lastly, for now anyway, we have VHS or Beta. If you like Daft Punk or Justice there's a very good chance you'll enjoy this band as well. Even if you don't like the above bands I would still suggest giving them a shot. They're a really fun listen.

Believe it or not I have three or four other bands I could list but I'll save them for another post in the near future.

Do I hear the sound of iPods filling to the brim?
