What's Big in the Blogospherenetworldthing

Right now two tracks are sort of blowing up in the blogosphereworldnetthing (COINED), so I feel it is my duty to my many and far spread (yes I have had views from Estonia...)  loyal readers (I know you guys follow me rabidly...) to provide you some insight into the tracks (I would be failing my duties as blogmaster if I didn't...).  So, the tracks are

Shout Out Louds :: Walls

These guys are from Sweden, where the indie rock scene sort of revolves around Peter Bjorn and John (saw them a couple weeks back at their birthday show... awesome... they are in some way connected to pretty much everybody - Shout Out Louds, Lykke Li, El Perro Del Mar, and more and have got to be my favorite swedes) in my opinion and The Knife.  These guys are pretty sweet, and this song is really good.  At first I didn't really see why it was such a big deal, but it has been really growing on me.  The sound reminds me a little bit of Arcade Fire, which is something I wouldn't expect out of swedes.

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists (TL/Rx) :: Even Heroes Have to Die

This guy is just an overall sweet punk rock (sort of) guy who's been around for a while.  He is supposed to play an incredible live show.  For fans of the New Pornographers (his new album is being put out by the same label, the classic Matador)...
