WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Pete & The Pirates!

Posted about 1 year ago


Being a total sucker for hand-clapping power-pop, I'm becoming quite smitten with this record. I bought it based on a "consumer" review from emusic, which is usually a disastrous decision, but the more I hear it, the more I love it. Most tracks don't even hit the 3 minute mark, short bursts of sing-along goodness that burrow in your brain, so it's easy to spin through and repeat ad nauseum. I'm waaaaaaay behind in new music this year, but this one's making a late entry as one of the best of the year.

    Yeah, I can totally see you loving this, knowing how much you adore New Pronographers. Good finding Tyler! :)

    Oh it totally falls into the NP realm :) Some handclaps and a few "ahh-ahh-ahh's" is about all it takes for me!

    Hey Tyler, good to see you!

    This album is in my best of list as well. Do we have great taste or what?! :)

    What a welcome avatar! Nifty little tune, too - kind of like the Kooks with added testosterone....

    Aww thanks Bill :)

    And that reminds me, I need to track down some Kooks. I saw them this summer and they rocked my socks.

    This has been spending a lot of time in my various players in the past few weeks. Wonders of aah-aahing, handclapping power pop indeed!
