I thought music was dead...... funny how this changed my mind. It's been years since I've heard...... well, actually this is the first good music I've ever heard that's from my time.
I'm so glad my best friend told me about them almost 3 years ago! Since then I've seen them in concert and the Gorillaz album brought a lot of new followers :-) I wish them the best success.
In another time there was a thing called Radio and it used to be kinda cool because, while it always found time to play hits, it could also be counted on to push new, exciting music forward. But that was a time before a few major corporations bought up the stations and homogenized the playlists to the point where ya hear the same fucking 5 songs over and over again.
The Internet is the radio now. You got to wade thru a lot of shit. But when you find a band like Little Dragon it is so worth it.
Thumbs up if you thumbed up his comment, that is deep. The Truth is Good talented musicians are being buried from the mainstream because MTV etc want Lady Gaga to keep drawing money.
Fuck the mainstream stop watching MTV it's lame and give this dude props for the comment cause its true.
My lightness at the moment through the dark of January! I LOVE Little Dragon! Was surprised today to know they sang Empire Ants in the last Gorillaz album! Who would've thought I wouldn't notice! I was bloody delighted!
This is one of those songs you run to the stereo to blast the speakers every time in comes on... Got my vote for top 10 in Triple J Hottest 100... Unique beat !! Love it !! Turn it Up !!
@ ARakaLord... Not on MTV or VH1 because American mainstream is for the moron class. We are fortunate to never be content with that trash. Viva Innovation!
If all bands had the humility and the 'groundedness' as Little Dragon," we would all be alot better off! Such a candid and privileged invitation to see a band organically, realize their craft in studio. ...relevatory and nothing fucking short of amazing!
"Something missing in your smile... something missing in your soul" I'm still coming round from seeing them live last weekend.... mindblowing! Tickets booked for Feb :D
Man she is so fucking ill! Her music is beyond amazing I have been banging her album hard in my whip. She has something unique it's music like her or bats for lashes another group that makes me say why the fuck is this not on MTV or VH1. Her music every song is good and original. She is a really dope lyricist and the beats fit perfect. I am a new fan.
@ExclaimTV Because you believe they will be mainstream and change their sound as far as selling out like many artist do when they are underground indie music?
@dermotoblong For the 4 slang words you might not be familiar with plus you are not American so I get it. I will give you the definition I will explain slang American slang for that matter."ill" like a person is sick, sick mean really good. The word "whip" means car in street slang."Banging" means playing it loud. "Dope" is similar to the word ill meaning really good. There you have it some american street slang 101 for you mate. The group is extremely talented. If you visit the U.S. try it out.
@ARakaLordBrilliant ah well that makes it perfectly clear then!, i reckon you could probably detect an element of sarcasm there (its just something english do) but thanks for explaining that in a very polite way. and they are a great band. looking forward to seeing them haha!
@dermotoblong You don't have to apologize for the sarcasm I was laughing because it was funny in the end. I am sarcastic. British people are like New Yorkas so it's cool. haha
@ARakaLordBrilliant Thanks for this comment I had never really heard Bat For Lashes' music properly and just discovered I also really like them. Know of anymore good artists like these?
@sammerro Please read all the comments bro not just top comm. I mean "read" them I responded to people already and have "their" album. I know little dragon is a group name. It was clear if you read the other comments bro. She is the lead singer thus she gives the sound with the voice and that is what I was responding on. I am actually trying to collaborate with the band on some hiphop mash up alternative neo soul/ roots vibe. I am a writer and not dumb man. 35 people understood my meaning.
@sammerro You must be bored. You simply want to troll for the fuck of it. Listen to the song. Her lyrical composition is by her. So you are wrong the musical arrangement is a combined effort which she has say so as well. She is the lead singer therefore the head of the group. How about you find constructive use with your time and stop trolling for attention. You are making something more than it is. That is called trolling or being ignorant for the sake of it. Listen to the song and fuck off.
I'm not ignorant, just don't speak american english every day, so i thpought that maybe i didn't understand you, (i still barely understand your posts, man not everyone speaks slang)
IMO placing vocalist on the pedestal is just not fair to other band members. That's what im trying to say. And I think you kinda did that when you appriciate "her music".
And don't say to me like that. youre not a master of this clip, you can't forbidd makeing an opinion.
@sammerro I will break this down for you because you are not a musician if I write a song but the band creates the beat arrangement which I choose if that fits my style. The lyrical composition is my piece copyrighted by me but the musical arrangement or composition is a joint effort in copyrights. Unless I say okay I take executive production it is all me. Which the roots do. The roots are a band famous btw world renown. Please man calm down okay it isn't so serious enjoy the music.
@biggnoize Great point! But maybe that's the best option they had. My guess is that good rejection was a concern, considering this is a live recording. Anyway, seeing Little Dragon tonight in NYC and very excited.
@thejohnsondesign they're on tour now, in New York, Boston, Miami, Charleston, etc. you might wanna check their web page to see the dates. hope you get to see them, i will, in new York!!
whenever i want an out of body experience and i run out of drugs, i listen to little dragon. i'm so glad the new cd is as great as the others, they're probably one of the best acts of the decade and they don't get the attention they deserve.
Ooooh this is a trippy number ... this is the perfect music to play in the background when you have fly buzzing round in a room and you are running around trying to catch the little bugger ...
Suddenly I find myself playing Pokemon Red on my old and dusty GameBoy Colour at the rythm of this song :D
