Favorite Songs of ’07

This is not my list for favorite albums of 2007. I’m still working on that as we speak.

This list is kind of a 2007 listening road map for me.

Black Moth Super Rainbow

Its a little known fact that Air, sometime during the last year or so built a time machine, went back to the late ’60s and experimented on hippies. Don’t get the wrong idea, it was purely about making music. All of this I can’t substantiate, but if we assume it could have happened, it could have created the band we know as Black Moth Super Rainbow.Five piece band from Pittsburgh blending electronica, pop and folk, all covered in 3 hefty doses of psychedelia. From what I’ve heard, its heavy on the vocoder and Rhodes, but its a good fit. Touring like crazy these days, currently opening for The Flaming Lips. Again, a good fit.

Check out Forever Heavy by BMSR, the lead-off track off Dandelion Gum. Possibly the backing soundtrack to your next day dream at the office.
