Soko, a 2 piece french band. I'll Kill Her is the prime of this little EP. The main vocalist sings about a 'bitch blonde girl' that stole her ex-boyfriend away for good. Very mellow with the trendy flair of perfunctory female vocals laid over a simple melody.

Heres a link to it for anyone who wants it.

Can we get in trouble for posting these links or uploading whole albums and posting them? I'd sure like to do that and always upload albums for people privately. Will the RIAA come knocking on my door if I upload something?

wow. i'm pretty sure RK and a few others were all over their last lp, which i gave a listen or two and couldn't get into. but this one has been instantaneous.

I just saw them in Albuquerque on Thursday night. AWFUL, AWFUL SHOW.

I then found out it was the first show of the tour, so they were probably a little rusty.

In this boring holiday that is today I decided to listen to some more mellow music and thus downloaded the new Sea and Cake album 'Everybody'... and... it's so fucking good. This is my new favorite album by them, with more complex song arrangements and blissful synthesizer jabs. This sound is comparable to French band Phoenix (more chill out though, think North), and anything that sounds like Phoenix is definitely worth checking out. The track Lightning reminded me of another band 'Hail Social' (but to be honest, aside from a couple of tracks, Hail Social is nothing special, yet). Anyway, this goes up *way up* on my 2007 list, for whatever that's worth.

People are going crazy over her in Denmark. It was actually a Danish radio-show that started hyping her....two of the songs on her MySpace profile is recordings from that show.... I don't really see what all the fuzz is about...

What do you mean? Are you trying to say I don't like anything? I just don't buy hype.

My favorite album of the year so far is The Fiery Furnaces - Widow City. Check my top 10 so far of the year.

Bill Bruford is a god. Starless is one of the only songs that has ever given me a musical orgasm. Listen to the whole thing with headphones on.

I downloaded it a couple months ago and wore it out then when it was officially released, went and bought it on vinyl (highly suggested since it comes with a link to download the MP3s legally for free) and now I can't stop listening to it again.

Still my favorite band to see live here in Austin (Stefen, either they had the worst show ever or you have awful taste).

A few months before the album leaked, they did a show at the Hogg Auditorium at UT with an orchestra and it was AMAZING. I can't get over how great the strings version of For Real was.

Mod, have you gone back to listen to Black Sheep Boy yet? I love Stage Names, but BSB is definitely the better of the two.
