Great set, wish I could listen on XM.
Summer Camp’s “I want you” is going to be a great summer anthem. The band’s name is a great nostalgic reminder of the innocence and frivolity of youth. It beckons thoughts of Kevin Bacon in white high- tops and cut off jean shorts in the first installment of the Friday the 13th franchise. The rhythmic buzz during the intro sounds like any ordinary coke machine or industrial refrigeration device sitting on a cracked sidewalk outside a drugstore on a muggy July morning. The simple cadence and lyrics are catchy without being monotonous.
will you post an mp3 of beach house untitled?
What can be done to get Gorilla v. Bear to post ALL of their Sirius XMU weekly blog radio offerings on the website? I have tried self-flagellation to no avail. I have written to my congressperson, circulated a petition, blogged about it on an obscure website… Alas, it has come to legal action… Marlowe v. Gorilla v. Bear.
