Kyle’s Six Pix Vol. 56
Aug 28, 2008 Guillemots, Sigor Ros, The Spinto Band, The Zutons, Throw Me The Statue, White Denim
Hit And Run Edition
6. The Zutons – “What’s Your Problem”, Shout outs on the Pix are nothing new and we do like to keep the faithful happy, so Jacob (my man in Thailand) this one’s for you! This single hasn’t even been released yet. You can’t go wrong with slow motion slap and water balloon fights.
5. Throw Me The Statue – “Yucatan Gold”, This single’s name sounds a strain of the leafy green stuff. The band started out as a one man project. Which is why they still rely on drum machines, but they’ve evolved with a little help from their musician friends. They tour with Pedro The Lion, who I also like.
4. White Denim – “Shake Shake Shake”, This band reminds me of J.S.B.X., but the video reminds me a little too much of the movie Gummo. The lead singer’s dad is Geno Petralli; he was drafted by the Blue Jays in 1978 and played for twelve years in the MLB. His other sons play baseball and aren’t in bands.
3. Guillemots – “Kriss Kross”, This track sounds completely different from everything else I’ve heard by these guys. They went from sounding like Aqualung to sounding like Slade, I also kind of expected some sort of joke about early 90’s kid friendly hip hop.
2. The Spinto Band – “Brown Boxes”, I warned everyone a couple of weeks ago that these guys would be back. When cute girls recommend bands to me and I actually like them, I tend to inflict said bands on everyone. I chose this live version because the video was quite long and really reminded me of BBC’s The Young Ones, which was an amazing show, but shouldn’t be copied.
1.Sigur Ros – “Inni Mer Syngur Vitleysingur”, I’m not even going to pretend I know what this song is about or what the title means. Their new stuff sounds a lot happier than their older material. We at the Pix have never solicited before, but if anyone has a line on two tix to see these guys at Massey Hall, it would be greatly appreciated…

Zutons - I see the slap, but where’s the tickle
