写着报告,开着Last.fm听歌。还是偶尔听到喜欢的便去look下。遇到了支乐队叫“Clap Your Hands Say Yeah”,以前闲“stars”的名字起得俗,这下无语了。关注了下评论,看到一则:Saw someone on Last.Fm playing this band. I thought what a weird name for a band, and decided to check them out. The first song I put on was “The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth”, I liked the rhythm but then the singer began to sing. I thought what is wrong with the dude. But I decided to listen on. Now it’s one of my favourite bands, and I love the singing. Check them out people. 和我一样,先听到的也是那首”The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth“, 我真是服了他们起的名字。网上搜了下,才知道是个indie。现在独立的东西是越来越多了,真的有些让人应接不暇。在主页上下了2支歌,感觉没有自己听到的那支好,本来想上传,可不知为什么opera的网站打不开了。
和"The Postal Service"一样同属电音的Indie Pop组合,歌声也有些相似。没听过新专辑,据说销量不错,竟然还得了MTV 2005 Best Video Woodie的奖项。这支歌的MTV是主唱躺在手术台上做一个更换心脏的手术,虽然里面的器官全是假的,丝毫不血腥,但看了仍恐怖。

找不到较好的中文介绍,却竟然从网上找到了这么多的下载,挺高兴。
Tegan Rain and Sara Kiersten Quin are Virgos, born September 19th, 1980. Born in Calgary, they now live in Vancouver due to their business agenda.This Business Of Art is actually their second CD, their first was relatively self-released and called Under Feet Like Ours. Don’t ask; it’s rare and not printed any more. Their newest CD is If It Was You, and it gets back to their rocking roots. The twins are signed on Vapor records currently, "discovered" by Neil Young. They’ve toured with such famous people as Neil Young, Kinnie Starr, and Melissa Ferrick, to name just a few. They started out…
