Here are three songs you should own.First, we have The Cloud Room. This act first got my attention with this song, actually. Hey Now Now has been out since I was dancing to it in dive bars in Orlando circa early 2005, and I still love it more than my luggage. It's the epitome of the rock side of modern Brit-pop.
Secondly, we have a
track from The Spinto Band called Oh Mandy, a song to which I was also dancing in 2005 (that I like even more than the aforementioned). This song will haunt you, if you aren't careful, as it was one that captured me immediately. I remember running to the DJ booth (at a bar called Backbooth in downtown Orlando) and demanding to know the title of the track. I was surprised to find out it was a little indie rock band from Wilmington, Delaware, of all places. Nonetheless, this track is easily within my top 10 favorite songs of all time (don't judge me!).
Lastly, we have a track from glorious one-hit-wonders, Scanners. This track, Lowlife, has been a favorite of mine since I discovered it in 2008. It has a fantastic remix by LA Riots, as well. Lowlife is one of those tracks that reminds you that you can swim in multiple emotions: sadness, relief, and liberation... all at once, and still be okay. I'm feeling kind, so I'll throw in the LA Riots remix, too.
