The band, The xx, has been showing up a lot on my Pandora mix lately. I'm not sure which of my original band selections they are tied to exactly, but it shouldn't surprise anyone that I like them quite a bit if you read about their influences on Wiki:
I highly doubt that I'm the only one who expected the song "Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads to follow the opening bass line to today's selection, but it does throw me off a bit when the piano keys kick in, as opposed to the drums. I really thought it was just a live version of "Psycho Killer" the first time I ever heard the opening.
Both tunes make me wish for a lazy, rainy day of lounging in bed... I can't wait for the dreary autumn days that are right around the corner. I can sense a change in the air... it feels nice!
Until next time...

I can give it all on the first date
I don't have to exist outside this place
And dear, know that I can change
But if stars shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then dear it's fine, so fine by me
'Cause we can give it time
So much time with me
And I can draw the line on the first date
I'll let you cross it
Let you take every line I've got
When the time gets late
But if stars shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then dear it's fine, so fine by me
'Cause we can give it time
So much time with me
If you want me, let me know
Where do you wanna go?
No need for talking, I already know
If you want me, why go?

"The band has cited several artists in their influences: singer Romy Madley Croft has mentioned her liking for Jimi Hendrix, The Slits, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Yazoo, Eurythmics, New Order and The Cure."

The second tune I selected for you today is a bit reminiscent of The Radio Dept. You might recall me mentioning them when I posted about the Marie Antoinette Soundtrack.
