Santogold

Santogold Wow, it's like eighty degrees in San Francisco right now and it's two in the morning. That happens rarely, even in the summer, and it makes me want to hear summertime music. I read about Brooklyn's Santogold a while back and then after seeing an article in Entertainment Weekly, I decided that I was over it (because I'm a music elitist). However, it got played in my car the other day and I got proven wrong yet again. There are some really good songs on her album. Yes, most of the good songs sound like other bands (M.I.A., The Pixies and Yeah Yeah Yeahs respectively), but her voice is sort of amazing and the songs are produced by Diplo, Switch etc. so you know something good is bound to come out of it. 'Lights Out' is a great track, but it sounded too polished and slightly in the same vain as that Kelly Clarkson song 'Since You've Been Gone'. Luckily there's a remix that takes some of that polished edge off and still keeps that Summertime bike ride feeling. I feel like all these songs might have been made with that music statistics machine I've ranted about before (the ones that music companies use to tell them what combination of notes people like to hear) because I can't get this song out of my head. Or not.. I dunno, I've been drinking and I should probably go to bed. Santogold - Lights Out Santogold - Lights Out (remix) Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes Bonus: Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes (video)

    That was exactly my sentiment. Even the part about drinking and needing to go to bed. Like right now, nap time.
