Tunez

So far, the Arkells are up there for Nikki's Official Tunes of End-of-Winter/Beginning-0f-Spring 2009. They kind of have an element of bland to them though, so I'm looking for alternatives. Past bands of springtimes past include: Local Rabbits, Peter Elkas, (both remind me of walking down Bathurst and Bloor to go to work) Sloan, (driving in springtime) The Unicorns, (non committal springtime grooves) and the White Stripes (way back in 2000 or so when I bought my first ever digital camera, now that I think of it).

I might just default to Local Rabbits again. They seem to work regardless of the year. Joel Plaskett also rules.

There's nothing good out right now, and there aren't any new bands coming out making real good music either. Even the latest Yeah Yeah Yeah's cd has largely disappointed me on the first couple of listens. I'm willing to give it a couple more tries based on how much I've loved everything they've done up until this point. It does sound like something that might grow on me after time.

These are the reasons that I seemingly have largely defaulted back to early/mid-90's hip hop of late. Well, that and the fact that Wu-Tang Clan, as I understand it, ain't nuthin' ta fuck wit'.

I've heard that about them. I've often wondered if that claim stands to reason.

Sad to hear about the YYYs album. Haven't listened yet.
