I Can See The Venom In Their Eyes
Right well as it has been a while (tm. Staind) I figure i'm allowed to post lots. My trip to New York only yielded one new musical discovery, which to most other people won't be a discovery at all. Anyway so I saw Snakes on a Plane, which is utterly dreadful in a sublimely hilarious way and has this wonderful song as its theme:
Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) - Cobra Starship
In typical fashion on the friday we left NYC one of the few remaining artists I -have-to-see-before-I-die (Pearl Jam are on this list, t-minus 24 hours) the wonderful Ted Leo was playing. Arse. Instead I comforted myself by imagining he is probably a lot better on record than live (/lie). Anyway this was the first song of his I heard, perfect pop creation that it is:
Me & Mia - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
Time for my once weekly (ignoring the fact that most of my songs could at a stretch be played there) 'NG1-song!' slot. Today we have Cassius who if I could be bothered to google i'm sure I would find had a song about five years ago, something about sun or water? Anyway he is a french dance bloke and has made this insanely catchy slice i've brought you:
Toot Toot - Cassius
Ending on a high we have a remix/mashup by a guy called DJ Earworm. Now I know what you are thinking, she only downloaded it because he has a silly name, and in many respects you are correct, however on the first listening I was grabbed by the sample about two fifths of the way through which I later discovered is by a band called Under the Influence of Giants. Name sounds a bit Oasis. Hmm. But yeah the original song is nowhere near as good as this so enjoy:
Over the Confluence of Giants - DJ Earworm
Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) - Cobra Starship
