The Avalanches: Because I’m Me

Chanced across “Because I’m Me,” by The Avalanches last week and have been hooked ever since. I think this was a video that just showed up next, after I was watching the video for still feel.

I’m not much into hip hop, but this song was aboslutely infectious. From the moment the horns kick in, the whole wave of the song just pulls me through. It’s energetic and awesome, and it’s been the thing I’ve been listening to as I walk to work each day.

Nothing yet on the rest of the album quite stacks up to this song for me (yet). Their song, “Frankie Sinatra” has an earworm of a hook, but it’s not something I seek out (though I will say the video is as weird as the song).
