"Roller" by French Kicks



Just when I thought I had gotten over the French Kicks they go and record a song like "Roller" to get me all excited about their music again. It must be a sign. When I was walking to work yesterday in the light rain I slipped on the earphones and randomly chose "Following Waves" and only stopped after "You could not Decide" because I had reached my door.

So today I went on myspace and found them to add as a friend. As the page loaded "Roller" started streaming. The first few seconds sound like the start of one of my favorite Strokes songs (with a little too much bass in the bass drum), only to drop into a euro-pop euphoria. I don't agree with some of his vocal decisions but the song is so good from beginning to end, I can't help but loop it.

Listen to "Roller" by going to their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/frenchkicks

BAND UPDATES: I'm getting back into Flash programming. I'm working on something like James Patterson's Presstube drawings for some of our shows. I got the Wiimote bluetooth hack to work! Now I'm just deciding how to use it...
