Song of the Moment: "9 Hours to Go" by Po'Girl
The song in heaviest rotation this week is, as the title says, "9 Hours to Go" by Po'Girl. Po'Girl is a group out of East Vancouver, and their latest disc is Home to You. I'm pretty sure it's going on my "discs to buy" list.
This particular tune works for me in a lot of ways. It's got a great chorus. It's got banjo. It's got lively, tangy (tangy!) vocals. And it even has a rap break that is not cheesy in any way (see R.E.M.'s "The Outsiders" for an example of cheesy.)
It's not surprising that I like this, given I like the Ditty Bops and a lot of that olde-tyme-ish music.
Check out their tunes on their internet website.
