Listen Up: Starlight Mints

A couple of my friends introduced me to Starlight Mints, and I was immediately hooked. I think I'll call this Psychedelic Bubblegum Pop. It's fun and catchy, but still earns the right to be called indie. Rock on Mints, rock on.

Listen Up: The Heavy Blinkers

How can you not love a dancing cupcake and singing candy! I'll admit the video is a bit trippy, but it's pure fun. It took me forever to track this group down after hearing a bit of this song, but I finally did and I want you guys to check them out. The band is called The Heavy Blinkers and they're a Canadian Orchestral Pop band. Cool, huh? I don't even know what Orchestral Pop is, but it can't be that bad, can it? Seriously though, give them a listen. You'll be pleasantly surprised, I bet.

Try Telling That To My Baby

In the dark night, I could be a shining light baby
I could be a leading light out to love if she'd just let me
I know that love can grow, but try telling that to my baby
I don't know why she's tearing apart my world
I need to see her now, before I take this final vow
before I take this final bow out of love, she could save me
I know that love can grow, but try telling that to my baby
I don't know why she's tearing apart my world
In the dark night, I could be a shining light baby
I could be a leading light out to love if she'd just let me
I know that love can grow, but try telling that to my baby
I don't know why she's tearing apart my world
