new cut copy cd

the last couple of weeks have been kind of stressful at work, but i found the perfect pick-me-up in the form of the new cut copy cd, in ghost colours. it's a trip straight back to the carefree pop of the 80's, just not as cheesy. well there are hand claps galore and songs that sound like they were ripped out of an o.m.d. album. but is that such a bad thing? maybe - once the hooks get stuck in your head they don't leave for a while. and there's a definite bryan ferry feel to the second song below. it's almost reason enough to see friday night at coachella (wow they added prince - how did i miss that?!).

perfect music for the summer of 1983... er, 2008.
