fools gold – surprise hotel

todays track is “surprise hotel” by LA band fools gold. well at least im pretty sure theyre from LA. im pretty sure i first heard this track several weeks ago on an aquarium drunkard edition of sirius xmu blog radio (the bestest daily radio show out there) and it immediately made the dailybeatz list of upcoming songs. i couldnt really find out a whole bunch about them other than that the band includes members of foreign born and glasser. and im somewhat familiar with foreign born but i dont really know who glasser is. but in the end, it doesnt really matter because theyve definitely got a little something going on here that i think most people will like quite a bit.

its nearly impossible to listen to this track and not want to dance a little bit. it sounds a little bit african-infused and a little bit not. and the lyrics are, i believe, in hebrew, so i have no idea what they say, but it dont matter to me cuz its all about the beat here. if the beginning melodies arent enough to get you moving, just wait until about halfway into the song when it speeds up even more. it kind of reminds me a tiny bit of something that could have been heard during an amadou and mariam breakdown in the middle of one of their songs to get the whole crowd moving. “nadine”, another track you can find on their myspace page is equally enjoyable, but in a less makes you want to get out of your chair and dance kind of way. i like these guys and am pretty sure they would be a blast to see live too.

worst post ever. i should have just stuck with what i wanted to write, which was, “i really like this song.”

1. forget the flat belly diet and other such nonsense; just try to keep up with this after the 4:00 mark and you’ll be svelte in days! let’s add this to the next dance party playlist. i think it would be awesome to welcome in the dawn with this (if we’re all still awake), or at least to welcome in the pizza house delivery.
