Groove Armada - Shameless (feat. Bryan Ferry)



Groove Armada are a cool electronic music duo from London, England. They've been recording since the mid-90's and have numerous electronic/dance/trip hop hits. I've liked this particular track for a little while but honestly hadn't listened to it for some time when it came on my iPod today. I just love the groovy synths, french opening and closing, and the breakdown part at the end where it seems like they're making that final push up the mountain. Also the fact that Bryan Ferry sings on it is fucking awesome. Ferry is best known for his 70's band Roxy Music, a band that never really got its due in North America but was huge across the pond. He's also famous for being the guy that Jerry Hall left for Mick Jagger... 

Some thoughts...
- Watched some of the US Presidential debate tonight... That Romney fellow is sure a great liar and through all his bullshit and fake smiles he actually made Obama look a little more reserved and defensive. The next few are gonna be interesting. I just REALLY hope Obama calls Romney out for all of his lies and bs.
- Twitter was a firestorm during the debate and my personal favourite came from Michael Penn: "Obama's not doing great because it's a much harder job to discuss disparate and complex reality than it is to run a memorized scam."
- Fuck ya Whitecaps! Biggest game of the year so far, basically a must win, and they stepped the fuck up, 4-0!
- Another great finish to the MLB season. 'Grats to the A's for knocking off the stinkin' Rangers. Texas had the division lead all season and were up 4 games with 5 to go. Oakland swept them in a 3 game series to take the division and a guaranteed playoff series. Now Texas has to play Baltimore in a one-off for a chance to play the Yankees. Ouch!
