Theme Thursday - Modernity

Sorry to be posting so late. I've had a rough day. Today's theme is "Modernity." And as always, feel free to leave comments with ideas for next week's theme.

Modern Art [mp3] - Art Brut - "Bang Bang Rock & Roll" (iTunes). Best text message I've ever gotten from my mom (yes my mom text messages... much to my chagrin) was at the 2006 Siren Music Festival: "Sexy Brits at 3pm on the Stillwell Stage. Art Brut. Get your ass there." So I went, and they were great. Thanks mom.

This Modern Love
[mp3] - Bloc Party - "Silent Alarm" (iTunes). More sexy Brits, though I've never seen them in concert.

Evergreen
[mp3] - Celebration - "The Modern Tribe" (iTunes unavailable). I had never listened to this song today. I have no idea where it came from or why it is on my computer, but I like it so I thought I would share it with you.

Modern Moonlight
[mp3] - The Dresden Dolls - "Yes, Virginia..." (iTunes). Just another great song by The Dresden Dolls. I idolize Amanda Palmer and her mad piano skills (screw Ben Folds). The Dresden Dolls' Companion is the best piano book I've ever bought. Nothing is simplified. Not a note left out.

Seventeen Dirty Magazines [mp3] - Modern Skirts - "Catalogue of Generous Men" (iTunes). Another piano-powered song. Not as good as Amanda Palmer though.

Modern Nature
[mp3] - Sondre Lerche - "Faces Down" (iTunes unavailable). A lovely, adorable song from my favorite Norwegian singer. I'm mostly Norwegian so I was really excited when I first heard of Sondre Lerche because not that many singers in Norway make it in the US, but he's doing pretty well.

Modern Timing [mp3] - Roisin Murphy (iTunes unavailable). A sexy dance song to change it up a little.
