smoke for smoke

Well, I was watching some music television tonight, and I was wondering why I hardly listen to music anymore. Partly, it's because now that I'm living with Kim, I really just don't listen to music. I mean, it's either pause constantly to talk or hear her breathe, or just ignore her. It's difficult to juggle the two, and I just really don't miss music.

But lately, I've been thinking about my old bands, like Coldplay.
Coldplay really, really rocks. I mean, let's face it. The Yellow video? It's a classic. I really wish that I could hear more of their new stuff, but it's just not available to me right now.

Anyway, I was watching TV, and there was this music video for this band called South. The music video started out in a silhuette, and for a minute something about the guy almost made me think of Ben Lee with a furry moustache.
So, I sat there watching it, and I was like 'there's something nice sounding about this music.'
The lights flicked on, illuminating the singers' face. I freaked out. Chris Martin, forming a new band?
Well, it wasn't Chris Martin, but in the shadowed lighting, it looked just like him. Plus they have the English accent thing in common.

Anyway, they're a really fucking awesome band. I suggest going to their site and listening to the (relatively) high quality sound clips. They definitely sound of Coldplay, yet are unique and really swell sounding.<

Also, The Walkmen sound like they might be cool, but I'm not sure yet.
