I wanna take a moment to introduce everybody to Audionugs' newest author, Ca$h (edit: no relation to Kei$ha or Curren$y), whose gonna be bringing us some faithful hipster-wannabe tunes off the beaten path. I can guarantee you that the tracks will all be a bit too good to get that cherished top-40 play on the radio, so make sure to check out Ca$h's uber-hipster picks every week.
It’s 4:46PM, and you sit irked at your bleak cubicle, staring blankly at your computer in order to foster the appearance of hard work. Your earbuds stream the sweet soundtrack of Pandora, and you try to limit your breathing to once every 2 measures, as not to inhale another unnecessary whiff of the Chinese food that your co-worker eats at his neighboring desk.
Suddenly, Pandora cuts to commercial, followed by a dreadful string of songs that were "mysteriously" added to your station during that Vampire Weekend phase you don't tell anyone about. You feverishly attempt to skip to the next track, but, to your dismay, are denied by the Pandora gods because you’ve skipped too many songs in the last hour. Your head throbs, and ears ring, as the excruciating falsetto/voice cracks of “Oxford Coma” continue to play on. At last, you can’t take it anymore! You rip off your headphones, and the piffle playlist seeps out into the office, just faintly enough to arouse your co-workers from the soothing lull of slurped lo-mein. Within seconds, your boss is onto your act. Swiftly seizing the opportunity, he rises and approaches with another menial task for you to complete.
You’ve just been “A-Punk’d," bitch… Sound familiar? I certainly hope not. Over the next few weeks, I'll be posting songs in hopes that the above scenario never happens to you, or anyone else you know, ever again...
The first track that I’ll introduce to you comes from Oslo, Norway, where indie-rockers Charlotte and the Co-Stars were joined by Soundtrack of Our Lives’ frontman, Ebbot Lundberg. Their single, “Players in Drag,” released September 6, 2010, is a rocking homage to the American surfer jams of the 1960s. The reverb-guitars might as well have been lifted straight off a Ventures or Dick Dale album. The vocals boast a fresh duet from the two collaborating artists, and just get better as the song goes on. Lundberg’s voice is unique, and actually pretty authentic to the surf rock genre - albeit, that authenticity might resonate as too flat or gruff for some tastes. Hear it all the way through before you decide.
