Monthly Cd Exchange!

What is the Monthly Cd Exchange you ask? Ahh it's a wonderful thing where two friends from quite different musical backgrounds :: cough indie kid / mansonite cough :: share and recommend 1 Cd every month for the other to buy. Hopefully this Cd Challenge will open new musical doors and create an interest in bands that would otherwise be missed.

Death Cab for Cutie's singer Ben Gibbard branches out to the electro indie-pop genre with The Postal Service's "Give Up"; the catchy beats and Gibbard's light vocals make this Cd an easy and enjoyable listen. The boppy intro to "A Brand New Colony" will be stuck in your heads for hours, but even after that you wont mind going home and giving it a few plays on repeat. I quite like this album as it has the quirky electronic elements without it being over the top and, dare I say...wanky.

I already had a burnt copy of this Cd, so I am familiar with most of the songs. My favourite songs on this album would have to be: Brand New Colony, The District Sleeps Alone Tonight and Sleeping In. It's nice to finally have a hard copy of this Cd as the booklet and visual elements make the listening experience that much stronger!
