MUSIC: My Finger Is On The Button

If you’re a fan of good music (I mean objectively, not subjectively) I plan to recommend a few songs here and there in this blog. Never mind the fact that if you end up purchasing the songs via my site, I get paid. I give you my word, a vow, that I will never lead you musically astray. I may lead you astray in other ways, but not in music.

Having said that, let me introduce you to this new single by The Chemical Brothers.

I’m a big fan of Metropolis on KCRW. If you live in the Los Angeles area and are a fan of good music then you’re probably familiar with this radio show hosted by Jason Bentley. It’s a great place for discovering new music as Jason really does have his finger on the pulse of electronica and world music.

It’s on this show that I first heard the song Galvanize, which contains the catchy hook that is the subject of this post, "My finger is on the button". I purchased it on Galvanize today and am totally digging the violin action mixed in with the funky beats. The image on the left is a deep link into the iTunes music store. If you’re not an iTunes user, you can click on the Amazon.com link.

KCRW has been playing this catchy tune at least once per hour for the past 2 months :). The east indian string section is great. Anyway glad you like it, Garth Trinidad has a great show too...

Ha ha... Most of my KCRW listening is NPR in the morning. It's only when I have to drive somewhere in the evening that I get to enjoy Metropolis. So I haven't heard it as much as everyone else has I suppose.

I've heard this song every day for the past month. And I agree. It totally sucks. Especially the "Jaws" string line which IMHO runs on for far too long turning a classic tool for musical suspense into something just fucked up and boring. Secondly, it couldn't be more predictable from a musical perspective.
