I have been listening to the charts this morning, on the radio, and have decided to share my favourite and least favourite songs from this week's charts.
The Toastings:
"Letters From the Sky" - Civil Twilight. Civil Twilight are a three-piece rock band originating from none other than our very own Mother City, Cape Town. In my opinion, this song is reminiscent of both Muse and The Fray, which turns out to be a very good mix indeed! Watch out for these guys, they are going to be big!
And The Roastings:
"Superfast Jellyfish"- Gorillaz. Okay, I can accept that I am going to get some hating from posting this as the worst song of the week, especially in light of the fact that this band has just replaced U2 at the Glastonbury Festival...
The thing is, I just do not like this song! To me, it does not even sound like a real song, more like something that could be used as a jingle on a commercial fishcakes or something like that. Also, the lyrics make absolutely no sense to me. It seems that they have thrown a bunch of random ideas together to see what happens. Don't get me wrong, sometimes seemingly unconnected ideas make for a great part of a song ("the teenage queen, a loaded gun, the drop dead dream, the chosen one, a southern drawl, a world unseen, a city wall and a trampoline"). I have researched the song, and apparently it may be about ocean pollution. So maybe I'm just not clever enough for this song.
