Sneaky Sound System

幾個禮拜前當我索然無味的看著Live Earth的轉撥時,一個團吸引了我的注意---澳洲的Sneaky Sound System.
被歸類為"流行電子"的SSS因為一首"UFO"有趣的歌詞和catchy的旋律,讓我這個被Muse訓練到對"外星搖滾"很敏感的人有一見如故的親切感(!?)
"I saw a UFO but nobody believes me",我想這是因為你們太特別了呢!

又出現一個可以刺激一下銷售量的排行.
紐約時報 選出了他們的"百大翻唱曲",從Jimi Hendrix,Jeff Buckley,The Clash到Bill Murray,這種"榜單"一直都是個大雜燴.有些你會認為真的很不錯,但更多是看了會覺得:"蛤!?"
不過把這種榜單當成認識更多音樂的方式也不賴!

3. "Hazy Shade of Winter," the Bangles (Simon and Garfunkel)
