The Letter T

I'm a sucker for pretty voices and really good harmonies among other things. I think that is why I am so into all those oldies R&B groups like the Ronnettes. With their oohs and ahhs and wooos. Making the human voice into an instrument rather than just for singing lyrics. The Beach Boys did this a lot, check out their albums "Friends" and "Smiley Smile" and you'll see what I mean. Tennis makes me instantly think of those pretty voiced girl groups of the 60's only with a twist of today.
Tennis - Marathon

Every time I listen to this song I almost delete it, but I can never bring myself to do so. This is one of those songs you tell people you are annoyed by, but deep down inside you LOVE it. The song doesn't really have anything new or exciting to it, it's pretty standard sugar pop, but when that chorus kicks in I instantly want to shimmy and shake.
Ten Bears - Braces

The Tall Dwarfs are a New Zeeland breed band who formed back in 1979 and helped initiate the lofi music style. They put out music through out the 80's and into the 90's yet reaming primarily underground. The band is a duo and do not have a drummer. Instead they use everyday objects to create their percussion or in one instance asked fans to create percussion backdrops for them that were later used on a record. I always liked the aesthetic of the DIY style of music, however sometimes it can turn out very bad. Thankfully we don't have to worry about that with these guys.
Tall Dwarfs - All My Hollowness To You

This song reminds me of being on an old roller coaster. It's always fun, but throws you around all over the place with it's jerky rickety structure. Just the way a punk rock song should be.
The Tranzmitors - Bigger Houses, Broken Homes

How would I describe this song? Creepy good fun. I always picture a kids style horror movie when I listen to this. It's got everything from the quick paced chase, to the sad and haunting ghost sounds, to the scary monster meeting. Very neat!
Two Star Symphony - Goblin Attack! (No Longer Available, but this is)
