But last night, the song "Bad Karma" was on "Gossip Girl." And just to further prove my questionable TV taste (hey, only sometimes!), it was also on MTV's summer hit show "Teen Wolf." I guarantee you've heard her song "Oh My God." It was featured in the trailer for It's Kind of a Funny Story, which just so happened to be grossly overplayed. Now, on to the music because you don't care to know about the awful shows I'm watching. I'm hanging on for the moment when Dan and Blair get together, though. It's a load of crap, the plots are outlandishly bad and almost none of the characters are redeeming. But what I do know, is that I'm watching a ridiculous amount of television and with that comes a ridiculous amount of new and really cool music.īelieve it or not, I'm still watching "Gossip Girl". Should we call it a leave of absence? Maybe a sabbatical? I don't really know. "Flickers" is especially wonderful (I've been playing it the entire time I've been writing this post, so I think that says something.I think.) I definitely recommend checking out his stuff. This is the best debut album I’ve heard in years."Uh.how good does that sound? Really good, I'd say. If Beck recorded in a monastery, this is what he might sound like. The result is an electronica collage that is a bundle of contradictions noisy and meditative, hypnotizing and endlessly, continually evolving. The 11 songs here consist of lyrical fragments – short phrases repeated, like a mantra, like rosary beads – that serve as the musical anchor, much like the rhythm section traditionally serves as the musical anchor. "Ryan Lott, who records under the name Son Lux, is a classically trained pianist and hip-hop and Radiohead fan who makes upside-down music. I don't think that I can say it better than Paste's Andy Whitman said it, so I'll let him do the talking: The reviews for his albums have been really positive. He writes and performs all of his songs with the occasional helping-hand on other instruments. Son Lux is actually Ryan Lott, based out of New York. & amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp lt a href=""& amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp gt RIOT!! by The Coasts& amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp lt /a& amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp gt & amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp lt a href=""& amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp gt Hard-Working Man by The Coasts& amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp lt /a& amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp amp gt & amp amp amp lt a href=""& amp amp amp gt Handshakers by The Coasts& amp amp amp lt /a& amp amp amp gt "Handshakers" The Coasts (my personal favorite from the album)

Their entire album is available to stream for free on their bandcamp site or you can buy it (buy it! Some of the proceeds go to Hope For Haiti's Children and it's only five bucks!) to show your support.Īnd maybe some proactive music-lover could contact their management and get them to Athens, eh? The Coasts are definitely a little gem you'll want to check out.
I can just see these guys jamming out in The Union and people absolutely loving it. It's that music you just know would be so fun to see live. The entire thing is so listenable and catchy. I can't help listening to their album and thinking a lot of it would have appeared on The O.C. It's like Roy Orbison and The Black Keys had a love child and that child is The Coasts. The Coasts definitely have some old-school inspiration (their track "Stranger/Danger" for instance) with a twist of current stuff. They're a nice little duo from.well,one half of the band is from Little Rock, AK and the other half is from Lebanon, OH (hey ACRNers! They're almost locals! Let's get 'em here.) Their first album is a little bit pop and a little bit rock 'n roll. It's at this point that I must apologize for that horrendous pun in the title of this post.Īnyway, Ike Peters and Eric Mount make up The Coasts. The light at the end of the tunnel ended up being "RIOT!!" by The Coasts. After a few days of searching the small snippet of lyrics - "Let's start a riot" - which lead to awful results that were not the right songs - I finally found it.
Go ahead, judge me) and I had to know what it was. It took me a while to find it, but I heard a song at the end of last week's "90210" (yeah, I watch that, too.
