Lucky.

This video couldn’t have come at a better time.  Over the past couple of weeks, Cara and I have been talking about the concept of luck.  When you think about it, it’s really fascinating.  Here’s a Fora.tv video about the science of luck.  Personally, I consider myself the former not the latter (Sloan fans read : foamer not the lather.  Too easy, had to do it).

Bangarang.

New one.  Have to.  Pogo’s new tribute to childhood favourite Hook.

It’s excellent as always, but isn’t it interesting that after only 4 exposures, the style is getting a bit something something ?  I should be more excited about this after I listen to it, I almost feel guilty for not.  But it’s still worth posting, because the idea is just as cool.

The Black Hour.

One of the nicest first verses I’ve heard in a longk time.  Rock-based songs are always best and most successful when the verses are catchier than the choruses.  Always.  I have a soft spot for songs that inherently demand a large venue with bigness and a proportionate amount of verb, especially in downtempo parts.  Beautiful video, Jamie.
