....and we're back! I've been accused of severely lacking posts this summer, and, well, the accusations are true. I've been busy working, watching the World Cup, and attending many concerts(anybody see the Strokes at Lollapalooza? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. JULIAN!). Anyways, as the summer days get shorter, and the sun disappears only to be replaced by the miserable, dark Chicago winter, I promise to be a better blogger and provide you with some quality hits. Cause we're all about the hits over here....
So, what's the feel good hit of the summer? Everybody has been creaming in their pants since Cee-Lo dropped "Fuck You" last week, and, sure it's a catchy little number, but I'm sure after you hear it a gazillion times like you heard "Crazy" you won't feel the same way in a couple months. Enter "Holidays" by Miami Horror.
For the past few years, Australia has been kind enough to dance floors around the world by giving us Cut Copy, Empire of the Sun, Midnight Juggernauts, etc... With its first full length, Illumination, Benjamin Plant, the main man behind Miami Horror, promises to join his fellow countrymen in musical goodness, and with Illumination, he has perhaps surpassed his compadres. "Holidays" is an instant dance floor classic. It's a disco-house-funk nugget whose bass line screams of urgency. Like, you urgently need to get on the dance floor and forget about whatever is going on in your life, and cut some serious rug. Lyrically, Plant does an amazing job of matching the music's immediacy. While listening to this track, you can close your eyes and envision an entire dance floor getting down and shouting, "I DON"T KNOW JUST WHERE YOU CAME FROM, BUT I NEED YOU NOW!!!"
Fuck you, Cee-Lo. This is my song of the summer.
