TDT 11/15/2011

HEY! Time for a new TDT!

1. This song is almost a year old, I'm glad I discovered it now, because if I waited less than another month and a half it would be more than a year old, and not qualify for TDT. The Wombats have this awesome song called Jump Into the Fog.  This song is catchy, featuring synth lines and a good drum beat, as well as a quality voice.  It was uploaded to the band's YouTube account on 12/26/2010.

2. The song Trojans by Atlas Genius is song number two on this week's post.  This song features the singer's voice, without much complexity in the background in the beginning of the song.  It picks up in the chorus, but I like the simplistic style of music that builds into a orchestrated piece as the song goes on. This song was uploaded to the band's YouTube account on 9/5/2011.

3. I officially love the Black Keys.  If I didn't love them before I certainly do now.  This song is awesome.  I love the song and I also LOVE the video.  Keep in mind that this is the video uploaded to the band's YouTube account, on 10/25/2011.  It is the first single from El Camino, the band's next album.  Lonely Boy, with its classic rock oriented song and hilarious video is one of my favorites this week.

4. Song number 4. Bombay Bicycle Club's tune Shuffle.  This song is catchy, and the band is pretty cool.  The singer does indeed look a little bit like Ferris Bueler, which I think is just downright awesome.  This band can be described simply, as one YouTube comment put it, "Nerdy with a[n] edge of cool".  This song was uploaded to the band's VEVO account on 7/22/2011.

5. Last, but not least is Young the Giant.  Their song Cough Syrup is a great tune.  I love this song and I have for months.  The video is very odd, but that makes sense for a song with the title of "Cough Syrup".  The song was uploaded to the band's YouTube account 6/22/2011.

This week's TDT Crown goes to the Wombats.  I really enjoyed their song, it conveyed a message, to me, about the unknowable future, and how we have to deal with it, hopefully landing feet first.

Peace.
