Reboot with Phoenix

I took a holiday break this summer and I wasn't sure whether to start again or not, but T+S is releasing their new album along with some books very soon and I have to blog for my studies as well, so it's good to have a little practice here. It was an awesome summer with lots of concerts and festivals but unfortunately now I'm back to living the dull life of a university student. Anyways, for starters, let here be posted the international anthem of the summer of 2009, that is, Lisztomania by Phoenix.



This is a nice mash-up of some John Hughes movies and a bit of Kevin Bacon magic by avoidantcustomer. It's better than the original music video.

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is what I've been listening to most of the summer. It feels exactly like listening to the first Arctic record a couple of years back. I love it how Thomas loses his accent while singing. It might not be their most complex album but it's definitely their catchiest. Lasso is the best song from the album, but since it's not a single (yet!), let's watch 1901 from their interface sessions. You can watch acoustic versions of Lisztomania and One Time Too Many as well as an interview with the band if you follow the link. God I love acoustic sessions.



Listen and rave to this awesome record while it's still warm outside kids.
