Mark's tracks to listen to
Ha! It worked. I used the same program as Gary and i have to say it's pretty cool. I'm not sure when or if i'll ever use it again, but like i said it's pretty neat. I tried to pick as many bands that i think most of you have never heard of, lots of European stuff basically. On with the songs.
Of Moons, Birds, and Monsters--MGMT: I've been listening to this album a lot since i've been over here and i really like it. This is my favorite song from the album, not sure why, just love it.
We Own the Sky--M83: I found this French band last year and really enjoy them. They've got a really 80s sound and remind me a little of Air.
Test Transmission--Kasabian: English band who Matt and i found through FIFA. My favorite song from a good band overall but shit live.
Only this Moment--Royksopp: Another Euro band from Norway who have a great electro sound. Their new album is dropping soon and sounds good. They also do that song on the Geico commericals, Remind me. This is from their live album.
The Laws have Changed--The New Pornographers: A band i'm just getting into that i really like so far. Pretty poppy but my early impressions of the band are good.
Why Are You Looking Grave?--Mew: One of my top 5 bands. From Denmark, awesome live, and getting a new album soon. If you like this song look them up cause they're the best.
Ophelia--Kashmir: A great song from a great band. I've listened to this album so many times and it's totally solid, this is my favorite song from said album.
Newjack--Justice: If you like Daft Punk, look this band up cause it has break neck beats that you can't help but nod to.
And I Was A Boy From School--Hot Chip: You've proly heard this one cause it's pretty popular but i really love this song and the band as well. I still haven't listened to thier new album(like a year old) much, but i will.
My Kingdom--Future Sound of London: I think Gareth would really love this band. I belive this band is done but it's great electro music.

Overall I enjoyed your selection - I definitely had not heard 90% of this! I always like electronic music and a good beat is certainly welcome in my house. Some of the tracks with more singing were a little too euro/indy for my tastes, but I still enjoyed it all!
ReplyDeleteDamn, that is some weird ass music. I hadn't heard of any of these songs or bands. That was funny that you mentioned FIFA in one of the descriptions, because this sounds exactly like that kind of music. The only two songs I liked were by Mew (will have to check them out) and Kashmir. Now I understand why you Everhart's don't like my music... we have wayyyy different tastes (minus mainsteam bands like Tool, Muse, STP, etc).
ReplyDeleteMark. You have almost exactly the same music taste as one of my buddies here in oklahoma. I'm gonna see if he's heard these before. Pretty good stuff
ReplyDeleteI liked most of this stuff, a very nice electronic theme. I checked out a few other MGMT tracks on youtube and I think I like them a little better than the one you choose (their videos have a shitload of views, btw). M83 was nice but could do with fewer lyrics. Test Transmition really caught my ear. Further investigation is warranted. I've listened to Röyksopp before and dig their music. I should get an album or two. Never heard that Hot Chip song before but I liked it. I swear Future Sound of London sampled that chanting choir at the end of that track from the Blade Runner soundtrack. I quite like that sound already but referencing possibly my favorite album ever gives them hella bonus points.
