BOY CRISIS... AND THE VAMPIRE WEEKEND

, , , ,

There's nothing like getting into bands from your own city through UK radio. It happens all to often these days..


But there's been this song on NME radio I cannot get enough of..

L'homme. 

You know what's even stranger?

I can't buy the 7; for L'homme in my own country.
I guess I'll just run to Rough Trade in Londontown when I arrive. 

I will add that to my list of "indie 45's to buy"

It's moments like this when I feel like a fish in the wrong pond.
New York City with it's rubbish radio and record stores make me angry.

Oh I also went to the last Vampire weekend gig last saturday.
It was okay, I didn't bother seeing the openers.
They played the album that I've been listening + a blondie cover and my favourite song M79 (that damn bus pisses me off)

I was well angry when my mate couldn't get us on the guest list for the first date of Vampire  Weekend  because I WANTED TO SEE THE TEENAGERS TOO. AND I BLOODY MISSED THEM I AM THEREFORE A DAFT IDIOT. The teenagers opened up. 

They also had RA RA riot open up for them this past monday when they played in NJ.
But I am a bit over Vampire weekend. Sure, their performance was MINT.. but I had more fun seeing them at Bowery Ballroom last January - the day after their album came out. 

Terminal 5 is just a big venue, and the sound there isn't as good as Bowery Ballroom.
I guess it was just something to do for an hour, see Vampire weekend. 

Ironically, my friend just got an apartment in washington heights. 
HA.

RICKS MUSIC REVIEWS X1

, , ,

Today I have found some pretty good music to listen too.
I hope you firstly choose to embrase, secondly enjoy.

Tilly and the Wall
I heard there electro music on myspace after reading about them on 'Drowned In Sound.' What a happy group on people. 'Alligator Skin' is a really good song which i think I would definately listen to again. They have also a version to CSS's 'Freest Man' which is worth a listen. I will look out to buy there album and let you know more.


Ra Ra Riot
These guys make some fantastic music. They are from New York. Some excellent easy listening music to get right into. Kind of old school indie vibe in their style. I really liked 'Dying is Fine' and 'Can You Tell' on their MySpace.
