You'll Need To Play This More Than Twice

I'm well aware my blog titles are horrendously cheesy. I hope you don't mind, though, because that's not going to change.

I was on Myspace the other day, and I was added by a wonderful band, Twice. Now, I’m guilty of scouring Myspace for amazing bands. This time, the band came to me.



Twice is made up of two students, 22-year-old Andréas Eriksen and 20-year-old Margot Poirier; Andréas is from Denmark, and Margot is from France. Since they don’t share a native tongue, they sing in English. It’s a beautiful compromise that yields an impressive result.

Their charming lyrics and catchy music will definitely make an impression. Listen to their song, “Are You?”, and then go check out their newest self-titled album, which is available for free download on their site:

A Regular Joe and an Eskimo Walk Into A Bar...

Well, a cold front has moved into D.C., and I thought it would be appropriate to blog about the band I can't stop listening to lately, Eskimo Joe.

Eskimo Joe hails from Australia, not a colder climate, and their album, Black Fingernails, Red Wine has been on the top of the charts in their home country, and has recently made it across the pond to much acclaim.

Speaking as a New Yorker, when I stumbled across their song "New York", I was of course highly interested. At the time I was making a playlist for my state out of homesickness.

The song is evocative, and the lead singer Temperly's husky voice immediately pulls you in when he sings,

Hey, hey, I know it wasn't New York
Where I lost my mind.
Hey, hey, I know I must have left it
It was back home all the time.

I highly recommend their newest album, and as a snapshot of their musical prowess, listen to "New York":
