Woke up today with sunshine, rainbows and some tender Louis Armstrong music playing in the background. Life was awesome momentarily for approximately one hour before officially becoming fucked-like-no-other.
Alas, there was an exam in the only class I've been going to consistently since the beginning of this quarter...great!! I blindly took the exam while the sunshine, rainbows and tender Louis Armstrong music continued to swag out and point fingers as if they were reminding me, "you got another blind exam too. You're screwed, homie." I then spent the rest of the hour listening to the most depressing music in the world and choking on half-sobs and boogers that needed to be wiped very badly.
The two exams were over and now was the time to pick up the pieces and recuperate. That's when I remembered about this group that was stuck on my headphones for.. about a month or two now?
Personal synopsis: Imagine if Daft Punk's "Discovery" album meeting Kings of Convenience (the singer in this band is also the singer in the other band.. cool!). There aren't any electronic sounds, nothing fancy actually, just really catchy. This can be found being played at weird hipster parties, urban outfitters, or anything that is borderline between gay and very manly. The song that got me interested in this band was "1517" although many of the other songs are just as unique and enjoyable. If you are listening to "Rollercoaster Ride," if you happen to have a way to listen to your music slowed down, try listening it to it at -6% speed, it sounds almost haunting..!
