You would that I must have a great ego to be starting a "music blog" of sorts and to recommend what I think is cool and not. I love music, all sorts of music. From the oldies to the top 40s, and music in various languages. I am THE music slut cause I love 'em all.
Discovering music gems is one of my favourite activities online. In fact, I would think that 99.9% of my time online are dedicated to just searching for new music of all sorts. Inspired by all the blogs and sites that I love, this site is set up so that I can share my love of music and the little gems that I have unearthed over the years.
Call me a late convert, but I have been introducing myself to a lot of spanky "new" sounds and acts lately. Right at this moment, I am really obssessing over Diplo, Editors, The National and this new band from Sydney, Australia called Cassette Kids. Their track, "Acrobat" is being repeated to death on my Ipod.
Female lead, Katherine Noorbergen's vocal reminds me of pre "Post" Bjork, right down to the enunciation and the wailing. Musically, if we ever married The Klaxons and TV on the Radio together, Cassette Kids will the be wildchild from that union. The mad rushing bass and guitar riffs will get you tapping along and of course, wailing together in no time.
I am looking forward to attending alot of gigs and when Cassette Kids ever come to Melbourne, I will be the first to RSVP!
Oh yeh, Australia is really coming out with a lot of good indie acts lately. Must be the water. :)
