I got Tegan and Sara's new CD this week, and I'm really liking it! My introduction to the duo was through their last offering, So Jealous. This one, The Con, has a bit of a different sound. Still catchy, still pop-tinged, but a little more electronic and experimental. Favorite tracks are: "The Con," "Hop a Plane," and "Burn Your Life Down."
I have also rediscovered the soundtrack to Velvet Goldmine, a wacky but cool movie about a fictional glam rocker (based on David Bowie). I think my favorite song on the whole thing is "Diamond Meadows" by T-Rex (aka Marc Bolan), and a close second is "Personality Crisis" by the Donna Matthews Band. I love female leads that aren't afraid to yelp and howl, like the always cherished Karen O. of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
My phone is shut off. I'm feeling the Abenaki vibe today. That's life.
