"...was it faith that paid the rent?" This lyric from this song stands out to me the most since this song came out when I first got out of college and I was struggling to keep my collegiate lifestyle of binging on liquor and carefree attitude and also paying rent for the first time in my life. That year after college is a very introspective one for most and definitely was a great struggle for me in trying to find myself as well as keeping eviction notices off my door.
The Carps was one of the few bands in the last 7 years that really impressed me (other than Bloc Party and Phantogram). Then, when I heard they had a song named after one of my favorite athletes of all-time, it made me like their music even more. This band was first introduced to me in '08, and definitely does NOT get any of the publicity that they truly deserve. I'd LOVE to sign them still after four years!
I remember first being introduced to the sounds of Australian band, Tame Impala last year. This is one of the key songs from their album that really stuck to me. To listen to this song back to back with 60s bands such as King Crimson would have you believe Tame Impala's music came out in 1969 as well. The music is atmospheric; it's a sunset on a Monaco beach with the sexiest girl in the world drinking the finest bottle of merlot being in a state of nirvana. I love this song.
The sexiest girl in the world. The curly headed one from Compton. The hippie girl with an effortless fashion sense. That gorgeously bright smile that can take my darkest of days and glimmer hues of light. That incredible spiral of her curls. My inspiration. Thanks for being here.
The flyest nigga in hip-hop. Intellectual street niggas. Effortless fashion sense and infectious aura. The charisma of a politician in saggin' Dior jeans and heavy jewelry on. The pharaoh presence. Gods amongst men. I can relate...
