I don't know if you guys have
noticed, but things seem to be really slow on the music front. I
normally get a ton of emails and see stuff everywhere that I can't wait to
share, but this week it's like everyone is off watching TV or playing in the
park. Somebody find me something awesome! At any rate, after
hours of searching yesterday I did manage to stumble across a track from
Vivian Girls that I thought might be worth your time. I vaguely remember
hearing about them a month or so ago, but I didn't pay much attention then.
Of course, as it turns out, I should have. Their self titled debut
pretty much sold out the instant it was released in May, and they've been blogged about all over. Keep an eye out for another run of the LP on
In The Red later this year. Enjoy.
:Vivian
Girls - Where Do You Run To?:
This gem pretty much falls into that category of music that
in no way can be called original, but that certainly isn't a
bad thing. In fact, you won't mind at all. Nope,
you'll be too busy thinking that if you could manage to put
Times New Viking and Vivian Girls on the same bill together
then you would have the two best noise pop bands to grace
ears in 2008. No wonder their album instantly
disappeared from vendors.
In my browsing
of Youtube I found out two things. One is that there
is another group called the Vivian Girls (who seem
sort of annoying), and the second is that the trio have
nothing good uploaded. It'll be OK if you decide to
skip this semi-poor live recording of My Baby Wants Me
Dead.
