Oh boy.  Every once in a while, I hear a record for the first time and just know….

Pearl Jam.

Wu Tang Clan.

Counting Crows.

TV On The Radio.

Kanye West.

Bon Iver.

And since I heard The XX for the first time, it’s all I can listen to.  You have to check them out now.  VCR blew my mind, and the Crystalized solidified it.  It’s brilliant.  I love it.  Somebody asked me to describe them and I couldn’t at first - I think I said Zero 7 meets Velvet Underground and TV on the Radio.  It’s possible they weren’t influenced at all by TVOTR, but I think everyone should be so I always throw that one in.

Seriously.  If you have a website to design, or a creative project you’ve been putting off - go buy this CD or download it from Emusic, turn it up until it fills the room with the hum of the speakers, and then go.  I’m telling you - PLAY IT LOUD.  When that bass line comes in on VCR, you’ll goose bump.

You’ll be back and you’ll be thanking me.
