2007 Summer Jam

I think it's time to declare it, something that's never been done in the history of my life- have an official BTP summer jam.

Cut Copy's "Hearts on Fire." Here's the song in a nutshell: take everything musically wrong/corny about the 80s, run it through a sieve, toss what doesn't make it through into a blender with some post-P,C,L New Order singles and you get this banger. Those keyboards, the "oh oh-ah's," the blatant New Order guitar outro rip, it's all magic.

Some other 2007 bangers over at BTP currently:

Van Halen - I'll Wait (80s coke jams need to make a comeback)
King Khan & The BBQ Show - I'll Never Belong (or anything In the Red related)
The Thermals - A Pillar of Salt (where the hell was I last year to miss this punk-pop gem?! Answer: over-saturating myself with CSS)

hype machine it if you don't have it.

If this gets read by someone else, be aware that the 91.1 WMUA Blog will probably be the more interesting read in terms of music input (read: snobbery). However, like this one, both are currently in their pre-natal stages. Conception has occurred, and what you're looking at is probably the equivalent of an ultrasound 12 weeks in. It looks ugly as sin, but you can just make out the gender.
