Hooray for Thursday!
Well I did warn you that thursday would be the awkward one, although it’s turned out even worse than I could have anticipated. I managed to come up with one whole song that relates to the day. This is really the bottom of the curve though, and there’s a bunch of awesome songs for the upcoming three days.
The Features - Thursday (expired)
I’m not a big fan of The Features. I have their album, but it doesn’t really grab me at all. It’s too kind of heavy and samey to me, a la We Are Scientists. Fun songs by themselves but an entire album at once is just grating. ‘Thursday’ though sounds nothing like anything on there, being considerably more laid back and intricate, the varying styles of music really adding to the whole thing. The song itself is a simple tale of building up the courage to speak to a girl and then the inevitable rejection that follows. Not that they let it get to them or anything, which also makes the song better than your average depressionfest on such matters.
So I guess that’s all I have to say about thursday I’m afraid. Not a great deal to it. I promise you it improves greatly from here though, and I’ve got four most excellent songs for tomorrow.
Betty By Alone.. again
You may or may not have read my post last week about the great Brazillian band called Betty By Alone. At the time I complained that I couldn’t find out much about them because their site is in Portugese. That’s no longer a problem though! The drummer from the band, Rafael Goraieb left a nice message pointing out their English language website. It’s not the most perfectly written thing in the world, but it’s certainly more helpful than nothing at all.
