mac books start your engines

I am totally into this new dj/electronic/'yada-yada call it what you wish' music these days. That being said, I have decided to make a top 7 list of things you should listen to, if you don't already listen to it... why 7?, it sounds better.

7) Health - oh man.  That is all I can say .... I can listen to their self-titled album front to back over and over... it is a little harder hitting than the rest - but give it a go !




6) Hot Chip - dorky UK boys delivering dance jams in a fun way.  Their latest album Made In The Dark, is very pop with edge.... i love it.



5) Holy Fuck - for some reason I had an aversion to this band because I had it in my head that they were heavy metal.... the answer is no.  Holy Fuck is a breath of fresh air.... I can't get enough... they have my toronto electronic heart.  Their 9 song album is fantastic, support homegrown talent!



4) Daft Punk - Too obvious? Paris talent that retook me after last summer's tour.  They blew me away live.  It is by far the best show I have ever been to.  If you know me that is a heavy statement.  I can't really tell you to only listen to one album... but in the spirit of the live show, pick up Alive... share what I experienced!


3) Crystal Castles - very electronic - very dancey- very rad.... Their self titled album is a good buy - i really enjoy them.


2) Justice - Daft Punk '08.... a paris duo that is breathing new life into this music. I had the opportunity to see them recently and they were phenominal .... Their Cross album has a lot of buzz surrounding it right now, and it is all earned.



1) Junior Boys - If you do not own a junior boys album... drop everything --- run to a cd store. Hamilton grown, internationally loved...So This Is Goodbye may be repeated more on my ipod than Feist.... *gasp*  ... plus I think that Matt and I are soul mates.... they are playing Hamilton April 18th! catch them while they are in town....swooooooon!



FIN!!!!
