Animal bands.
May 13, 2008
I’ve been on a big music kick lately. So, I’ve been listening to bands outside of my standard go-tos (Stars, TMSR, LC!, to name a few). It was only recently, though, that I noticed that the bands I’ve been drawn to lately all have one thing in common: they have animals in their titles. Examples!
- Andrew Bird
- Elefant
- Foals
- Frightened Rabbit
- Grizzly Bear
- New Buffalo
- The Redlands Palomino Co.
- Swan Lake
- The Unicorns
- Wolf Parade
And those are just the bands I have on my iPod. I wholeheartedly recommend all of them, especially Frightened Rabbit, who I got into only recently. Their most recent album, The Midnight Organ Fight, is my favorite album of the year so far, which says something. I have one of their songs on my muxtape, so give it a listen. You’ll be glad you did.

And I’m going to add one more! I bought the Little Mermaid (at least part animal) original broadway soundtrack (which is excellent) on iTunes and I need to give it to you somehow.
The only retarded part is they made Ursula and Triton brother and sister. Um, she’s an octopus. I don’t get it.
Best lyric in the show (sung by Flounder about Ariel):
“She acts like she don’t see me
She doesn’t even speak
She treats me like sashimi
Left over from last week”

Those are the most amazing lyrics ever. EVER.
