Civil Twilight with Letters from the Sky

Normally, a band with the word "Twilight" in its name is a gamebreaker for me. But I've had to revise my expectations a little after Muse sold out and put their songs on Twilight. I know its hip to hate Twilight and all, but I actually watched it and I still don't get why girls like it so much.

Then I came upon this band Civil Twilight, which has an interesting sound. Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, they are a three-piece outfit with sound similarities to other keyboard driven bands like Radiohead and Muse, which is a moot comparison because people always lump these two bands together and claim they sound the same, so much that Muse basically sold out and became pop cheese in an attempt to de-Radiohead themselves.

But strangely their music makes me think of small-town America. Don't ask me why, music just does that to me.


This is my other earworm of the week, an old one, The man who can't be moved by The Script. When I first saw the title I loled and thought of a really fat man. I'm glad some people share the same sense of humour, albeit in a warped way, judging from the top comment on Youtube, which goes "Adel - the woman who can't be moved".

It's actually spelt Adele, but that sure was a low blow.
