Listening to a little music. Blake mentioned the band Tegan and Sara on his blog. (A LiveJournal qualifies as Blog, right?) Listening to their song "Monday, Monday, Monday." It's quality.
Another excellent song (probably, actually a lot better than "Monday") by Tegan and Sara is "I Hear Noises". It starts out sounding quite a bit like "Wow and Flutter" by Stereolab (a good song) with just a little more distortion and a little less substance, then kicks into some of the finest, catchiest, most utterly well-crafted pop vocals I've heard in an extremely long time.
Over all: these are some fantastic pop songs. The music doesn't do much to inspire, but it's solid. The vocals, on the other hand, or pretty memorable. Having heard perhaps 4 songs by them: They get a pre-emptive 7 out of 10.
