just discovered these people exist and i die...

***DAMN NBC BLOCKED MY VIDEO!!! STUPID COPYRIGHT....

WELL I CHANGED THE VIDEO TO JUST THE AUDIO VERSION, ENJOY***

friendly fires is a dance punk band from england - harry potter country - that i just discovered last night and fell in lust. they met when they were all woobies (don't worry, i'll add this to the nugget dictionary manana), 14 in fact, and started up their first band: first day back. friendly fires came into fruition when they all left school and the rest is history i guess...

trivia?

their song "on board" was featured in a wii fit commercial as well as the trailer for gran turismo 5
"white diamonds" was featured on an episode of gossip girl
they've covered "strangelove" by depeche mode, who i also love

here's their performance of "live those days tonight" (from their new album 'pala') on jimmy kimmel last night:

WHAT I THINK...
boy does this guy deliver. before i get into channel orange, i have to admit i didn't listen to ALL of nostalgia, ultra until i had channel orange in my hands.
i was obsessed with "we all try", i loved "love crimes", and "swim good" and "novacane" had radio play so of course i heard them. after hearing the whole mixtape tho, i was more excited to switch CDs and play channel orange...
1st run thru, "lost" was my absolute favorite. it took 3, 4, or 7 plays all the way thru for me to find something i wasn't exactly fond of... and that would be "pink matter". it upsets me, cuz boy do i love me some 3 stacks, but i just can't with that song.
back to the songs i DO like tho, the more i listened to the album leading up to his show at terminal 5, the more favorites i found. even the interludes are dope as sheeeeeet.
"sweet life", "crack rock", and "bad religion" tend to be on repeat when my computer is on, and "pyramids" became a favorite after i saw him perform it live.
the lyrical content and production is phenomenal. frank ocean just knows how to tell a story... this is an artist.
PLEASE buy a physical copy of this and listen. grab a glass of your favorite poison, throw some headphones on, and relaxxxxx. i don't see how you could be dissapointed.
