Music fix #5: Tegan and Sara, Mayday Parade, Justice and MGMT 16.08.2009

Hey guys, hope you had a great weekend. I’m just doing a little music fix before I become exceptionally busy over the next week. I promise to post at least one more time before school starts next week. In the meantime, I have four songs to share with you.

First, I’ve decided that Mayday Parade is an all around amazing band, which actually writes some awesome lyrics if you listen to them. This song is called “I’d Hate To Be You When People Find Out What This Song Is About” and it’s from the album A Lesson For Romantics.

Moving on, it’s been awhile since I posted a Tegan and Sara song, so here is the acoustic version of their song “Back In Your Head,” from a podcast called “Spinner: The Interface.” I remember when this was my favorite song; it was right after Hurricane Ike hit and I’m became obsessed with this one song. And then, the obsession spiraled and now I love them with a depth of none I have. Except for maybe Metric. Maybe.

MGMT is, perhaps, the wildcard favorite on my list. I don’t love them all the time, but when I do love them, I can’t stop listening to them. If you haven’t heard them before, this song is not indicative what they always sound like, but right now, it’s my favorite. It’s called “We (Don’t) Care,” and it’s on the Climbing To New Lows EP.

And finally, I’m including a song that will start your week off in a jumpy mood. It’s called “Never Be Alone” and it’s a mashup, I guess, of Justice and Simian (on my iTunes it’s listed as Justice vs. Simian.) At any rate, it’s the most fun song to listen to while cleaning. Have a great week, and I’ll see you guys soon.
