Lets Go Safari - BYOB

Hi All!

All around the world we have people angry at each other. We have wars in Iraq, Syria and other places. We have people willing to blow the shit out of other people, and people killing other people just because they live on the other side of a hill.

And in the midst of all this turmoil comes a band.

A band with a mission.

A band who are almost saccharine in their happiness.

A band who want you to bring your own beer.

This song is....is...happy. It makes you want to smile and jump around. It's a summer tune, so I'm a bit out of season here, but its very likeable. It's like a run on the sea shore, or in a forest somewhere out the way. Gets the heart rate going but is a pleasant experience.

This track is possibly one of the most original, clean, selfless songs I have heard this year.



Thanks for reading.

Jenni Alpert - Who We Are

Hi All,

Why isn't this playing in every night club and every student bar in England?

"Who We Are" is a great track. I can easily see groups of young women holding bottles of drinks in nightclubs desperately trying to sing this song.

 Jenni Alpert is a great singer. Powerful without being too harsh, and gentle without being too weak. I'm not sure I like the multi tracking. Or the effects. I think one or the other would have been fine. It sounds a little fuzzy to me. In my opinion, vocals for tracks like this need to be a bit cleaner.

Its got a catchy tune. It's got catchy lyrics. Meaningful without being too dull. It's got a good beat too. No it's not my thing, but I think that if you're looking for something light that you can dance and sing to then go for this. Its the chicken salad of music. Everyone likes it, but sometimes you just prefer a steak.

I'm not entirely sure about the video either. It seems a bit half assed. Either show lots of people, or none. It seems a little pointless to do something in between.

Here it is, let me know what you think:
