It'...This isn't Halou's best song, even. It's just the one that happened to come up in rotation. They were <i>good</i>. Stripmall Architecture, the latest incarnation of the lead singer and lead guitarist of this band, is good too, but a different sound. <br /><br />I must admit that I have eclectic tastes. Townes van Zandt singing a mournful mountain tune, followed by a dream pop group? So I can see why you might be reluctant to listen to just any song I post here. But everything I put up here is something that I like. It might be from some band that only five people have heard of. It might be some girl in France whose video has 8 hits on Youtube, for that matter. But one thing I will guarantee you is that you will <i>not</i> find music that sucks here. Music that maybe doesn't quite hit the mark, but if you want to hear music that sucks, turn on your radio :).<br /><br />- Badtux the Music PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-63289349896982796112010-11-22T22:12:15.856-08:002010-11-22T22:12:15.856-08:00Wow. Just, plain... Wow!
But I have to confess, I...Wow. Just, plain... Wow!<br /><br />But I have to confess, I've got this real bad habit when it comes to your blog. I skip over an awful lot of your music selections when I don't recognize the band or artist. Being a musician myself, this is probably a sin of the first order. When you post something by someone I know and like, usually, I'm right there, loving every second of it. But I really need to break this bad habit of mine and check out stuff that is all new to me. I went out of character and did so for Halou, and I'm glad I did. This particular song reminds me of Portishead, Sneaker Pimps, Norah Jones, and Gong -- that's a lovely blend in my book.<br /><br />Thank you...Jim Yeagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614500796136679068noreply@blogger.com
