Music You'd Better Listen To - The World/Inferno Friendship Society

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.

The World/Inferno Friendship Society - Brother of the Mayor of Bridgewater

Website / Myspace / iTunes

—-

I know, I’m such a tease. I mentioned Craig Finn yesterday, and I’m putting up a track by his keyboardist buddy/bandmate (Franz)’s (apparently former) side project. Or other band. Or whatever you wanna call these guys.

Hell, I really just want to post the Punks Jump Up remix of Miike Snow’s Animal, but I’ve done that already. And the rule of any good mixtape is not to repeat the same song. And I see this blog as one giant mixtape.

So instead, you get one of my favourite bouncy choruses ever.

It’s weird, man. I totally thought I wouldn’t truly enjoy ska again, aside from the nostalgia I feel when I still listen to my favourites (Reel Big Fish and Catch-22, for the record). And then I heard these guys.

Granted, it’s not traditional ska, or really pure ska… but the ska influence is undeniable, with the off-beat emphases and the horns. It’s like… Skamericana.

You’re welcome.

(Also, I learned on my roadtrip that Bridgewater is a real place… in Massachusetts. Like where the rest of The Hold Steady are from. You’re welcome again.)
