Hi there, I'm A.J. I'm primarily going to share with you songs I listen to late at night (because I am prone to staying up unreasonably late), as well as music-related Youtube videos I find in the wee hours.
I was a big fan of the four-song EP British group The Long Blondes released on What's Your Rupture? a few years ago. I didn't keep tabs on them, but I eventually discovered their lackluster second album on Rough Trade Records. However, that led me backwards to the 2006 debut album Someone to Drive You Home, which has become one of my favorite records to come out in the last few years.
This is my favorite song on the album. Simply put, it's a fantastic pop song: short, upbeat, and insanely hooky. While The Long Blondes typically draw upon 80s post-punk and disco, this song sounds closer to The Pipettes or even (God forbid) No Doubt. It's a nice change of pace that pays off well, and I sure as hell can't stop playing this on my iPod.
