What I've Been Listening To


Here are some pretty decent tunes that have been getting much love in a house on a street in a town i'm from. Something for everyone. Maybe.

I bought a pair of jeans the other day. Came with some free tracks for download. Does that give jeans cred? Would you buy jeans that had music in them/on them/under them? What if music came with free jeans for download? Something to think about.

Anyway, didn't expect much at all. Pleasantly surprised. From a band called Pets. They're from Storsveden, Sweden - if you didn't know. Kind of upbeat indie-pop that reminds me of the best bits of Sesame Street. Check out their myspace if you're a fan.


Thanks also to two friends. One's tall and trying to get big. The other is already big and trying to get tall (check out frindsofben). The tall one showed me this track. We put it one repeat and drove up and down George Street on Saturday night. It was fun.


The big one showed me this pretty sweet guy way before it was cool to like Jewish hip-hop/reggae. His new song is a cracker. Let's have a J.


Finally, one for the weekend. Actually, i'm a student, so basically this means any day of the week. Sucked in 9-5. Will probably drive up and down King Street with this one on Saturday night. A bit more edgy than Biggie. Maybe it's the Brooklyn based, Warp Records influence you can hear in the background if you listen close enough. Sorry i'm a bit late with this one. I'm selfish.


Enjoy. Love.
