I Paid Rent This Week

9 08 2008

Which leaves me seventeen dollars in my wallet until my next payday. I’m GANGSTA AS SHIT.

This is the yummiest song I’ve heard in a long time. Kristoffer Ragnstam hails from Gothenburg, Sweden, and his single “Swing That Tambourine” is the most ass-kickingest, rock-n-rolling little tune to come out of Sweden since, I dunno, insert your own ABBA joke here. Yuck.

But I totally have a boy-crush on “Tambourine.” The pulsating rhythm of the verse, the epic lead guitar licks, the breakdown drums of the pre-chorus, god that chorus that CHORUS, and the guitar solo hitting every single note just where and when it should be hit. I even love the little touches, like how the background vocals during the chorus clip EVER so slightly. This is going near the top of my end-year list for coolest song.

Sorry about the short post today, but I shall return with longer rants and raves just for your listening pleasure!
