Hey, look what I stumbled into!

Posted over 5 years ago
This past Monday, I'd decided to give up my stubbornness and finally get the new Silversun Pickups album I've heard so much crowing about in these pages.Before I did that, though, I thought I'd do a final bit of reading up in allmusic.com, just as that final confirmation, so I'd feel comfortable about it. I type in 'silversun' as my search criteria, thinking there's no way another band uses a name like that, and because I'm lazy like that. Instead of being transported to the overview page for Silversun Pickups, I was sent instead to the overview page for a band from England called Silver Sun. I read up a bit, and after feeling sufficiently intrigued, continue on to Silversun Pickups, vowing to myself to download a bit of their music.Well, the download just completed, and I must admit, I'm delighted. Silver Sun have a wonderfully sunny power-pop sound reminiscent of Sloan. I could bounce around the house all day to the sound of songs like "Golden Skin", "Julia", and "Last Day".FYI, I also got Carnavas by Silversun Pickups, but I haven't gotten far into it, because I'm enjoying "Checkered Floor" way too much. I'm sorry I waited so long to get it.

    d0gstar says heh - I had similar, kinda, thing happen last night. I have the visualizer for lala, which works through Itunes. I was listening to the alt-country-rawk band Lucero, but what was showing was some hispanic chica named Lucero. Puters ain't that smart sometimes, I say

    Dale says Daniel, did someone tear your chest hair off "40-year-old Virgin"-style? J/K, I'm listening to that song now, liking very much.

    dylanharlem101 says Hey thanks for the advice. I'm absolutely hooked on this site. I'm afraid it will soon be a distraction from all my schoolwork. btw those kinds of discoveries are the best, that's exactly what happened to me when I came across Spoon.

    democlez says I love stumbling on musicians like that. I've come across three artists in a similar fashion. It's like finding a $10-$50 bill (depending on how good the band is).
