Music You'd Better Listen To - Street Sweeper Social Club

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

MYBLT is one of Aidan's many blogs.

If your song is on here and you want it taken down, email me and I'll take it off straight away.

In the meantime, I'll be respectful and link to a couple of your sites.

Street Sweeper Social Club - Promenade

Website / Myspace / iTunes

The more things change, the more they stay the same. At least it’s a new track this time, right?

The first time I heard these guys, a couple of weeks ago, one thing immediately struck me: it sounded as if Rage Against the Machine tried to be a bit more funky, a lot less screamy, and occasionally picked up Gorillaz’ pop sensibilities.

I wasn’t crazy-impressed at first, but I held onto the self-titled album, if only because I hadn’t cared to listen to Rage in a *long* time, and this was something new, but in the vein.

Obviously, as I’m looking into them tonight, I learn that Tom Morello, he of Rage Against the Machine fame, heads this project.

“Small world” indeed.
