So this has been a slow day and we’ve decided to share a bit more about our musical tastes and preferences going at the moment. And we promise we haven’t been listening to any special Xmas albums…
We’ve been listening to (+44) Plus Forty Four quite a bit, since they launced their album late 2006 and we must say, although it compares to Blink 182, it’s actually a bit of a breath of fresh air. Seems that the nice emo rhymes are actually well-thought of and the song structures are pretty good. I especially like the the tempo and style changes within individual songs. Mark and Travis (ex-Blink) has definitely progressed since Blink broke up and in my opinion (+44) trumps other ex-Blink member, Tom deLonge, new project, Angels and Airwaves. Although it’s different bands and different styles, (+44) goes with hand-in-hand with blogging everytime.
For our more chilled out vibes, we’ve been listening to The Postal Service’s 2003 offering “Give Up”. The electronic indie pop sounds generated by this pair is just so soothing to the ears. The album might be old, but it’s probably one of the best albums within its genre. Vocalist Ben Gibbard, from Death Cab for Cutie fame, just continues to remind that he is a brilliant musician and we sure hope that The Postal Service will produce another album quite soon, since 2003 is a very long time ago…
