Baskervilles

Sweet, sweet upgrade time

In other news, the arrival of new iMacs from our friends at Apple mean that this dude is ready to drop his G5 PowerPC machine for one of those new aluminum Intel-powered joyboxes. I’ve been due for an upgrade for about six to seven months, but I wanted to wait for a new product cycle to start and take advantage of the new upgrade. That time is now upon us and my giddyness can best be described by listening to the Baskervilles excellent Caught In A Crosswalk.

Originally a song created for their one-song-a-month project last year (now re-mastered for their upcoming LP), Crosswalks is a delightful, uptempo, glamorous pop song. Led by winsome guitar chords which chime sprightly across the track, they accompany Stephanie Finucane’s feather light lyrics with lustrous accuracy, giving the song a gleaming, polished feeling of sophistication and wonder. Matter of fact, there’s no denying the band has a thing for 1960s orchestral pop, what with the AM-era brass adding that extra layer of sheen, the occasional timpani rumble, and the string-loving synths which account for that final, glossy clincher making us all feel we should be having a cocktail, were we not bouncing around to the poppy, catching rhythm.
