Entertained by Phoenix

They have done it again!  Remember that band from a years back with the title of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix(also known as Phoenix)?  They had two smash hits, Liztomania and 1901?  Well guess what!  they just came back and they are awesome as ever!  I was reading the lastest edition of Nylon and saw that they made a comeback.  So it was only natural that I would go and check it out.  

What did I find?

My new favorite for the month.   Recently, a song from their new album Bankrupt! leaked on the Internet. Entertainment is only a taste of what is to come from them. Once again, Phoenix has brought their A-game with edgy guitars and retro sounding synthesizers.  They have brought the best of cotton-candy pop (that is a complement).  It’s a kick-back-have-no-worries kind of song.  It is the perfect summer song to listen while traveling, lounging, or just looking to have plain fun.  Seeing as this is only a taste of what is to come, I am extremely excited to see what the band further produces on their new album, said to be released April 23rd!

Entertainment- Phoenix

1901- Phoenix

Teens will just be teens

So I’m writing this post for any teenager out there. See a a junior in high school I’ve sacrificed a lot of time spending time on studying. As the end of the term came to pass I realized that I just wanted to be a kid again. In doing so I found some great music to help me release my inner partier. Because I have been so bad about blogging lately(probably tired of hearing my excuses), I’m going to make it up. So for the entire week I am a song a day/Barron’s info you want to know, that make you wanna rock out and just have some careless fun. This playlist is dedicated to those who spend some time of their lives acting, dancing, or whatever being a child.

The first song is is a French synths pop band. They were originally founded as a joke. But after their first song homecoming they reached a different kind of popularity. A lot of their songs have some good guitar set against some awesome synths. I specifically chose this song for a reason. I have to say whenever I listen to it I want to find an old abandoned house somewhere and throw a really big party. Not only is the music great but the weird lyrics and the odd vocals make any lonesome/outsider teen feel as thou they are going to have s rocking, cause who there for you were your cold and alone. The Teenagers!!! So download this song call up some friends and forget your problems.
