Alex at And So It Begins... recently posted his updated top 10 M83 songs list, which offers him a lot of inspiration. I have the same connection with College, David Grellier's electronic act whose track "A Real Hero" (ft. Electric Youth) was famously used in Drive. If I want to be inspired, I listen to College. I go back and forth on the rankings, but I love every track on here. Enjoy!

Cool to learn about which music inspires you! A Real Hero is a fantastic track, I fell in love with it during Drive like everyone did. Of the other tracks here, I also dig your number 1 choice Teenage Color.
ReplyDeleteI recently listened to the 2013 album by College, my favorite on that was “Revelation”.
Thanks, Chris! It was fun going back through their tracks and trying to narrow down my favorites.
DeleteGlad you dig Teenage Color! It's been my ringtone for almost 2 years.
"Revelation" is a good track. My only problem with that album is that many of the tracks sound like reworkings of their earlier songs. Maybe that's because I listen to their earlier work more.
Really dug these tracks man. Thanks so much for opening my eyes to their talent. Rock n roll!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Glad you dug 'em man.
