OK, look, so at this point im sure we all know Passion Pit are MGMT v.2.0x1 million (Carissa is credited for that comparison). We also know that as a social networking site, myspace is pretty well finished. BUT, personally, I still tend to get lost in myspace, particularly when I'm missing my iPod or when I'm away from my stereo, but with a computer (both of which occur with exhausting frequency). I look through band page after band page, perusing their top friends, and the top friends of their top friends, etc., you know how it goes.
The point is, I was engaged in this enlightening activity the other day and came across Marina and the Diamonds as a 'top friend' of passion pit. Now, I dont know pretty much anything about this girl. I assume that since she is on Passion Pit's label, Neon Gold (named after the two trendiest themes of its birth year, 2008) we will be hearing quite a bit about her very soon, or maybe you already have and i will catch up with you soon. In a way i don't want to know anything more about her than i already do. I practically worship her. She's like a one woman Ace of Base for 2009. She is more than that, of course. Although she is 'of the moment,' her sincerity (or what i perceive as sincerity) make her more than an 80s/90s throwback gimmick. She's got drama, she's got heart, and i love every piece of it.
Passion Pit- I've Got Your Number
Marina and the Diamonds- I am not a Robot
and for good measure...
