Metronomy, I'm giving you the look - look.

2 bears remix of Metronomy, The bay

"This photo is going to be with you for the next 10 yeaaaarssss" the photo guy said eerily as he held the most complicated looking camera I have ever seen to his eye. No pressure then I thought? And as he pressed the button I knew pushing my "unacceptable to passport offices" blunt fringe to the side was a terrible idea. And so grimacing a little I collected my new photo ten long minutes later and held it side by side with my old one. WOW. 15 years of age I must have been on my last passport. Long blonde hair, an addiction to eyeliner and the colour black I realised today not only has my musical taste come along way from "Babycakes, you just don't know know. How I -I, wanna take it down low - low" to whatever indie/electronic beat I have grown to admire today at the grand old age of twenty-one.

So who must I talk about today?  

Metronomy

Well Nick Grimshaw my little heart throb, you have done well. Not only are you FIT, but you have an absolutely wicked taste in music. (Marry Me? Cool, yeh, June wedding is fine with me) As I sit here in bed clock watching and deep in thought about a few changes I need to make to my life ASAP, Nick tells me of one of his most favourite tunes of the summer. Metronomy - The bay, remixed by two of his favourite DJ's The 2 Bears. I listen, then have to listen again... and AGAIN. The beat is addictive, and as I have just found as I eagerly clicked the replay button on youtube... EVEN BETTER, LOUDDERRR!

LONDON, PARIS, TOKYO.

Now, as per I've started liking the remix better than the original. Always the case when a DJ plays about with the acoustic, i like a bit of repetition, a heavier bass and quite melodic sounds when they have been sped up. "Sped up"??? I possibly need to learn the music lingo and technicalities if I want to be any good at this! 

But yeh, Metronomy are wiccckeeddd mattteee yehhhh. (Sorry, excuse me jokey dialect in recent posts, being back up north with old friends means i've got back into talking in any accent other than my own. Like for instance, everyone around me seems to be saying things like "He's gone West"..."Oh yeh he is so East its unreal" At first I thought they were informing me of his/her location. But someone mentioned it has something to do with drugs? Please explain before I start telling people I'm West or East!)

...Metronomy - really quite odd, different, unique some might say... tragically hip i say. One of my favorite songs of theirs? The Look. They're trying something new with organ solos, his voice we might have heard before but I like it because its a pitch I can reach! But overall this post is to draw your attention too the band, to this song and to the remix. They're a wicked listen whether you're listening on your own or you want to impress your friends with something a bit retro and hipster. Yeh that's right, I said hipster.
