As far as mainstream radio-friendly Gossip Girl-approved music goes, I don't mind this White Rabbits Track. I kept expecting the song to "kick in" with full drums and irritating wailing from the singer about "missing you, girl," but thankfully it never came. The usage of such simplified, almost tribal double drumming reminded me of a band I have had the privilege of seeing a few times around town.
If that Girl Talk guy was well-versed enough in the underground music scene, he'd be kicking himself right now for not thinking of this mashup. For the rest of you, I will fill you in just in case: Romo Roto features a member of Toronto's dd/mm/yyyy and a member of the city's box-rocking girrrrrrrls Machetes. Together they play a purely drum and vocals brand of music that is as refreshing as it is unique--sort of like Fresca. Find their homemade CDR EP linked (and feel privileged, as it is uber-limited y'alls).
