I swear, this happens every year. The top ten lists for 2006 are good and done, and all of a sudden, I realize that I missed out on some pretty decent music that would've made one list or another if I had only been paying attention the first time around.
Well, no use whining over missed opportunities. Instead, I'm just gonna share some really bitchin' tunes. And, just so credit's given where it's due...
1. When two coworkers, on completely separate occasions, tell me about the same band, it's probably something worth checking out. The biggest obstacle was getting over the fact that these guys are all technically fetuses.
Kooks - See the World (from Inside In/Inside Out)
2. Fellow fat kid Joyce asked me to send her some Regina Spektor after seeing her open for Keane. After I saw her open for the Strokes four or five years ago, I thought she sounded like a cat being tortured. However, I'll admit the new album is pretty incredible, and this particular song became a favorite for both us.
Regina Spektor - Fidelity (from Begin to Hope)
3. Apple iPod commercial. Thank you, Steve Jobs.
The Fratellis - Flathead (from Costello Music)
Like what you hear? Then check 'em out live. All three artists will be playing at Coachella this year! To quote the great Morpheus: "Something something three bands. I do not see coincidence. I see providence. I see purpose. I believe it is our fate to be here. It is our destiny." By the way, destiny's gonna run you $287.50 after taxes and Ticketmaster's cut. But hey, at least you get your own totally useless Coachella page.
