Waking Ear
We have a pact, you and I. I write down what song I had in my head when I woke up in the morning. And, maybe, why. You click on "What's in your waking ear?" and tell me what's in your head right now. We discover new music and maybe learn something about how our minds work. Yeah?Thursday, March 18, 2004
After The Unicorns canceled their show last night (apparently one of the band members was having Visa troubles and couldn't leave Canada), Phantroll and I decided to see this Canadian band instead. (and a big thank you to him as he has seen them before)
What a great show! Seeing this band last night was a perfect fit for the mood I was in. Extremely tired. Pissed about work BS. Yet still wanting to feel inspired...ta-da! Broken Social Scene.
Not knowing much about the band or their current album, You Forgot It In People, I went to the show with an open mind. This song was one of the first they played and I really enjoyed it. A transfer from a standard 4/4 beat to a 3/3 beat - forgive if I'm using the incorrect terminology; apparently my knowledge of 5 years in band are withering away -
I love when bands switch up the beat. It makes me think, wow - this band has their shit together. B/c it's not the easiest thing to do that.
Well, point being, this song is a great example of flipping the beat back and forth. And overall, a thumbs up to the show. I popped the CD in this morning and am thoroughly enjoying it.
On an additional note, listen to BSS's "Anthems for a 17-Year Old Girl" and you'll hear a song that scares Phantroll. Creepy-time.
