I'm not as into "new" music used to be - unfortunately, there are only so many hours in the day, and I don't have the time to seek out cool music the way I once did. Still, I occasionally manage to stumble upon some good stuff, usually based on reviews in Rolling Stone (which I've been reading since high school).

British group The Go! Team is one of my recent finds. They're really unique - according to the band's Wikipedia page, founder "Ian Parton conceived the project after wanting to create music incorporating his favourite things including Sonic Youth-style guitars, Double Dutch chants, and car chase horn music." If I had to describe their music, I'd say it's like a hip-hop pep rally set to Saturday morning cartoon music. Sounds bizarre, right? I love it.

I enjoyed their 2005 debut Thunder, Lightning, Strike and have been listening to their new album Proof of Youth nonstop. In particular, my favorite song from the album is "Doing It Right", which has compelled to me wander around my place mumbling "Do it, do it, uh-huh". Any song that makes me do that is all aces.
