weekenditty: "The President (Keljet remix)" - Snow Patrol

Once again, Keljet is workin' my shit. They are just a talented outfit who repeatedly makes me dance, and then continues to throw chill-pop that is second to none. WTF?! Why aren't they HUGE?! They mix electro and nü disco in a style all their own. Repeatedly they've made acts such as Adele, Scissor Sisters, Wynter Gordon, Mike Posner, The XX, LCD Soundsystem, The Temper Trap, Passion Pit and Coldplay (check the Keljet tab if you don't believe me) even better than their original tracks... and now they do so with a track from the new Snow Patrol Record, The President, which dropped this past Tuesday.

The President (Keljet remix) - Snow Patrol

3 tracks - snow patrol

So, it's snowin'... how about that? Despite how much I detest any kind of precipitation, it did get me in the mood to listen to some beautiful music. Snow Patrol popped directly in my head, so for this week's 3-track-Thursday, we dive into my favorite Snow Patrol songs.

These tracks come from one of the best indie/alt-rock albums ever, Snow Patrol's first major label release, Final Straw. This album was the band's third, but first to be picked up by the big boys. Granted (probably due to a shuffling of members) the band's output has decreased in quality, but I'll forgive them that. Final Straw was simply magic. It slowly leads you in with How To Be Dead, remains solid, and then hits you with the 1-2-3 punch of Spitting Games, Chocolate, and Run. Here are three tracks from Final Straw and additionally, I wanted to put down the one track that I love the most of their remaining work (they've had two somewhat unbecoming albums since), a tune called You Could Be Happy... which had to be the Irish cutter's anthem of 2006. Hooray!

Anyway, the Final Straw album is definitely worth owning. So, go do that.
