tiesto featuring tegan and sara? hows that for an awesomely weird combination to kick start this long holiday weekend? well, as it turns out, the upcoming tiesto album, “kaleidoscope”, features tons of combinations such as this with great indie artists including jonsi from sigur ros, kele okereke of bloc party, nelly furtado (not so much indie but just someone we really like) and emily haines of metric/broken social scene fame. it promises to be a pretty cool album and if all goes as planned, ill be going to see tiesto in either toronto or chicago, both on saturdays so it could actually work. of course there are no shows in detroit because no tours ever stop in detroit any more.

ive obviously been on a huge electronic kick lately and ive always liked tegan and sara so this is a pretty great combo for me. there are tons of haters who disregard tegan and sara, but honestly theres no denying that they are just a bunch of great little songwriters. people discredit them for writing pop music, but i dont think those people realize how their songs differ from most of the prefabricated pop that dominates the airwaves these days. the other cool thing about this track is that i think it was written postal service style. that is, tiesto did the music, sent it to tegan and sara, and they wrote/recorded the lyrics and sent them back. thats probably pretty interesting for an dj because im sure when the dj lays down the track they have some idea in their heads about what lyrics could go over it, and im sure what they get back is always completely different than what they were thinking. in this case, it definitely works.
