What's in My Ears
No MP3s from me today, but I got links to two tracks i'm really in love with right now...
First up is the new single by The Feeling, which if you live in this country you'll be well familiar with by now - it's apparently second only to Gnarls Barkley in radio play.
I really really want to hate The Feeling. They look so smug for a start, and I think the singer is mates with those annoying publicity whores Kate Moss, Jude Law & Sadie Frost. (I still have no idea what Sadie Frost is supposed to have done to justify the extraordinary coverage of her tedious exploits). I also think the guitarist is married to Sophie Ellis-Bextor. They've obviously been created to cash in on the whole 'Guilty Pleasures' phenomenon, and have clearly had MUCH record company dollar behind their imminently world conquering sound. Plus the singer sounds like the singer from The Kooks - and both bands strangely emerged from the same 'school of performing arts' in Croydon. (Which has also been responsible for Katie Melua & Athlete. Gah!!!)
But... I just can't stop listening to 'Fill My Little World'. Is that wrong? I feel a little ashamed. It's a Guilty Pleasure itself I suppose.
It makes me feel like i'm driving round Monaco in one of these
Rather than cruising round the industrial wasteland of the Thames Valley in a battered Ford Mondeo.
You can download it, plus previous top-10 single 'Sewn' from here.
The second track (in an attempt to restore my cool credentials) is the Simian Mobile Disco track from the new Kitsune compilation. It's one of those anthemic electro numbers that's gonna be played (alongside 'Rocker', 'Washing Up', 'NY Excuse' and 'Geht's Noch') by every DJ under the sun. And you will love it every time. Electro glitches, a massive bass-fuelled breakdown and a voice imploring you to 'push it, push it, push it'. It all adds up to a classic. I fuckin' love it. Jack yr body!
They are your friends.
