SONGS I'M DIGGIN'
Marcy Playground-Poppies
Hey everyone, i know it's been a while since i've posted more than just these weekly segments, but with this being the last week before i start classes and all, there has been a number of loose ends to tie up and things that needed to get done. but don't worry, i'll have some more stuff up in due time. so for now, enjoy the song of the week from Marcy Playground.
I recently got my hands on two of this band's cds, titled
Marcy Playground and
Shapeshifter, and this song comes from the former. any of you 90's alt-rock fans may recognize these guys as the same band who spawned the hit "Sex and Candy", and while that in itself is a really good song, i'd like to give this week to a lesser heard tune and one that's personally one of my favorites that i've heard. I will also say that for the record both albums are damn good listens and really worth your time if you're interested.
this song's an upbeat little number with some catchy guitar lines and singing that brings you back to that nice little midway point in 90s music between grunge and bubblegum pop where bands weren't afraid to mix a bit of musicality with a pop sensibility and a positive feel. In the end, this song isn't something that you have to over-think or something that feels brainless, it's something in between that goes down smooth.
