As I was lazily watching tv, which seems to have become one of my pastimes as well as most of america’s, a car commercial came on. So you must be saying “of course a car commercial came on! theres one every other commercial”

Well this commercial is different, because it has spawned my next music review!

This car commercial was playing catchy music, as most commercials do, and I actually knew the song! It was 1901 by Phoenix. Phoenix, is a french pop band that recently came out with a new album. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix!

Perhaps their two most popular songs are 1901 and Lisztomania (a play off of the famous composer’s name).

Note: These songs, as well as their song “Girlfriend,” can be most commonly heard on alternative and indie satelite stations.

Now to the review part. Phoenix is really good driving music. Their songs range from catchy and easy to blast on a nice day with all the windows down, to slow and mellow for those days you are just cruising along. (Perhaps this is why they were featured in a car commercial?)

My personal favorite, is Lisztomania. Both fun to dance to and fun to sing it is the perfect song to lift up your spirits if you’ve had a rough day

Also here’s a link to their website:
