As it turns out, it was Be Your
Own Pet's Jemina Pearl that I saw at a Salvation Army on South Lamar.
I should of introduced myself, told her about Noah's fascination with her
and reminded the little firecracker that it's hard to hear her unless she
actually uses the microphone...but whatever. Next time I'll
know better. Alright, let's talk about the Virgins, who were actually
one of the opening acts last night at Stubb's. I've known them by name
(and yes, it is a rather terrible name) for awhile now, but I had never
actually taken any time to listen to their music. This was a mistake,
as those guys know how make some quality pop songs. Do yourself a
favor and keep and eye out for their soon-to-be-released self titled debut.
Enjoy.
:The
Virgins - Rich Girls:
When you download this I want you to know that there is
absolutely no reason to expect anything that might change
your life, as this is nothing but pure, catchy goodness
that'll probably do well in getting those hips moving.
With that being said, what more could you want on a Friday!?
After a long week this gem is the perfect tune to stroll
away from the office with. The only problem is that
it's good enough that you'll more than likely still be
humming it when you re-enter the office on Monday,
but I'm sure you have had worse things happen.
I'm always
interested in artists doing various versions of their own
songs, so it was pretty nice to come across this stripped
own version of Rich Girls that the guys did for Indie
103.1. Check it out.
