Endless war over who kills the last koala bear...and who in death will love him more.

I’m kind of weird. As someone who works in music and is immersed in it to the extent that I am, you would think I would know good new music all the time, right away when I first hear it or hear about it. Well okay, I always get really into music, but I’ve “discovered” all of my biggest influences and obsessions retroactively. It never fails. It happened with Butch and it was the same with Aerosmith.
Still confused? Here’s an example. Tegan and Sara are suddenly my latest musical phase. Now I’ve known who these girls are since 2000/2000 when they were interviewed on a “You Hear It First” segment on MTV News. They then broke big in America when “Walking With A Ghost” was huge two years ago. But I’ve only just now realized that they’re f***ing brilliant! Especially live. They really sound like that when they sing too!
Now I know what B-Dids felt like when he said he was “goin’ gay for James Morrison’s record” because he liked THAT much. I wish I had written Tegan’s songs. Particularly “My Number.” Her songwriting has a certain relatability factor to it that Sara’s just doesn’t. I also wish I could change my hair as often as they do too and not care…I did get bangs yesterday though...and I. Love. Them.
