TV Girl, I love you.

TV Girl is the greatest band ever.

       Well, maybe not, but they're pretty high up there in my books. TV Girl is Trung Ngo and Brad Petering, they're based out of California and.... thats pretty much all i know about them because their Bandcamp and last.fm page don't really have too much information. The first song I heard was If you want it, I didn’t know it at the time but all the samples in the song are from a Tod Rundgren song called Hello its me. (Warner didn't like them sampling it so they made them take it down for a while.) The best part about this band is they give most of their music away for free, if you head over to their band camp page you can grab their new mixtape for free! How cool is that?

      

     Its hard for me to put what I like about a band or a song into words sometimes. Liking the lyrics because you can relate to them is simple enough to explain, but sometimes music just has some ineffable quality that I like about it. I think one of the things I like about TVG is how the music sounds retro and new at the same time but saying that doesn't feel quite right because not all of their songs have that low-fi sample feel to them. I like how the tone of the songs are completely mismatched with the lyrics, its an interesting contrast to have a very up-beat and jolly tone for songs that are normally pretty sad in nature, its almost comical in a certain way. Either way, I high sugest you take a look into TV Girl, its hard to find great music these days and its even harder to find great music that's free.
