I go through stages where I either love, love, LOVE listening to music and have something constantly going, OR I am so tired of all of this bullshit-crappy-too-snappy-hip-da-dip-moveitlikeamidget bad, bad music and want nothing to do with it at all. Currently, I am loving contemporary musique. There are, specifically, three to four new bands that I have discovered for the pleasure of my ears, head, brain, soul, body, feet, hands, mouth... well, you get the point. So, here are the names of some bands that make me leak so much that if it was water that was leaking there would be enough to bottle up and save the world from drought (naturally, they would be bottled in nalgenes, so as to cut down on plastic and everyone can re-use their ab-fab bottles to fill with more of my leaky water.)
So, here they are:

1.Florence + The Machine
2. Passion Pit
3. The Heavy
4. Frightened Rabbit
5. Friendly Fires
6. Ida Maria
7. Girl Talk

Alright, so it was a few more than three and I could probably keep on going. Shoot me, if you so please, but KNOW that I have introduced you to pure brilliance. I mean PURE brilliance! Frightened Rabbit is probably one of my new all-time faves and I truly, truly need to own the album "The Midnight Organ Flight." I don't know if I should cry, scream, dance or laugh or do all at once because, YES, they really are THAT GOOD! As far as Florence + The Machine is concerned they, too, have that effect on me. Although, I have to admit that "Raise It Up" really isn't my favorite song. If it weren't for that song, I would be able to listen to that album (it's called "Lungs," by the way) the entire way through. This kid (she's 23, I believe) has a voice that could kill (I shall forgive the fact that she's a ginger due to this detail) and her lyrics are brilliant. For example:

"But he sang louder and louder inside the house,
and then I couldn't get him out.
So I trapped him under a cardboard box
and stood on it to make him stop.
I picked up the bird and above the din I said,
'That's the last song you'll ever sing.'
Held him down,
broke his neck.
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget!"

I mean, come ON! How morbidly wonderful is that?! Makes my skin crawl and my mouth curl upwards. Love it, love her.

As far as Girl Talk is concerned, this one-dude-music-making-madman will make you want to shake so badly the area around you will end up looking like Haiti (too soon?). I've only listened to two of his albums, which are actually just compilations of stuff he's deejay'd (is that right?) at shows/clubs/wherever else it is deejays play. Of the two, "Feed the Animals" is my favorite. Apparently he has many, so go yonder and download and to each her (heh) own. You can find him on illegal-art.net, a site where you can either download for free or pay a little something-something to help the cause.

So, off you go, my little darlings. Fly away to Frostwire, itunes, amazon, bestbuy, target or wherever else it is one can purchase music. Fly away and give yourself something to appreciate for LIFE!
