Mark Twain said, "When I find a well-drawn character in fiction or biography I generally take a warm personal interest in him, for the reason that I have known him before - met him on the river."
Like a great character, I think that a really great song feels more like a memory than anything else.
This is a song that I remember.
Strictly Game by TokyoPoliceClub
Just got my hands on a Tokyo Police Club cover of "Strictly Game" (from Harlem Shakes' album Technicolor Health) courtesy of TPC's manager (and our buddy) Andrew.
The bands went on tour together awhile back (I went with them for awhile), and they're such nice guys - and their new project, which involves them covering ten songs from ten successive years over the course of ten days in the studio, is awesome. The full track list includes everything from the Shakes and LCD Soundsystem to...Miley Cyrus and Kelly Clarkson. The whole thing streams here.
And, if you're interested, here's the video of the Harlem Shakes' original version. Give it thirty seconds or so and watch carefully - it's not what you'll think it is.
