PARENTHETICAL GIRLS, VICE DEVICE, EXTRA LIFE, SAM MICKENS ( Holocene , 1001 SE Morrison) Like most of the better local bands, Parenthetical Girls don't whore themselves around town until we take them for granted. These masters of literary, orchestral pop music know when to save it and when to give it up, but tonight we're going to get lucky. MARJORIE SKINNER GENERATIONALS, GARDENS AND VILLA ( Mississippi Studios , 3939 N Mississippi) New Orleans duo Generationals make speedy, shuffling pop [...]

Filed under: News , Pop Culture Larry Marano, Getty Images While it might take more than mere chocolates and roses on Valentine's Day to make Taylor Swift swoon, Owl City 's Adam Young is hoping to do it through the magic of music. On Monday, Young released a love song on Owl City's blog that was dedicated to Swift and, admittedly, intentionally timed for Valentine's Day. The ball [...]
ZACH THAT: I'm not claiming that Sufjan ripped off Owl City...but the background melody and vocal cadence of his new track Too Much sounds hilariously similar to Owl City "Fireflies". Listen and tell me if I'm crazy. Too Much by Sufjan Stevens
..Leaving you plenty of time to figure out something to do while you are not there then. Owl City plays an over 14s show in The Academy on 24th of November priced at €22.50. On sale this Friday.

Fireflies - Owl City Sommige nummers zijn niet écht super of fantastisch, maar slagen er toch in om je aandacht telkens opnieuw vast te houden en je geleidelijk te overtuigen hoe onweerstaanbaar ze eigenlijk toch wel zijn. Dat is precies wat Owl City (het project van Adam Toung) doet met Fireflies, waar ook nog eens een opmerkelijke videoclip bijhoort. Wie doorklikt naar zijn site, [...]
Musical plagiarism or just influence? This is a subject i've wanted to write about for a long time now but i've only just found the time to get down to it tonight. The song that made me decide to finally commit to this post was Owl City's "Fireflies". I heard it on the radio at work and although i find myself humming along to its undoubted catchiness i still can't get the fact that he's ripped off The Postal Service out my head. First time i heard it i actually thought it was a new Postal [...]
0:21 - Il Grillo Parlante, cazzo!!

Can't believe it's already been a decade. I'm trying to think about the person I used 2 be back in 1999. I wonder how familiar I am with that bro, or how much I respect him. Theoretically, I have grown up and become a more 'cultured' person with a developed+refined taste in all aspects of life, including my favourite music.
