A music-obsessed, retired San Francisco lawyer, and author of the rock & roll memoir Jittery White Guy Music (available on Amazon)... picking a random album or song in his collection every day or so and sharing a few thoughts.
Tegan And Sara's "Hop A Plane," off 2007's The Con, is a perfect little noise-pop track. You've got a three-chord riff-rocker straight out of the Who/Kinks playbook amped up with just a hint of fuzz, updated with some contemporary angst and the twins' interwoven vocals, plus some clever loud-soft-loud dynamics--all in well under two minutes. One of those songs ideally suited for a workout playlist or for cranking up in the car with the windows down on a hot day, the whole neighborhood giving you dirty looks as you shout along.Live 2009:Interview and behind-the-scenes view:Wonderful cover by fellow Canadian twin act Courage My Love:Cover by City And Colour:
