The Radio Still Plays Good Music (Sometimes)- Metronomy:: "The Look", "You and I"

Okay, I know many of us have been frustrated with the quality of music on the radio. I would like to state that 93.1, WXRT Chicago is an exception to this rule. I have been listening to the station for the past few months, and love their programming. Great live performances, interesting specialty shows, cool personalities. But I truly realized how fantastic the station was when my lovely wife came running up the stairs a few nights ago to tell me about Metronomy. Apparently, the station literally had her dancing by herself in our kitchen for two hours, and this group was the one to set it off. So, thanks radio, for not always being lame. And thanks Shannon for the great recommendation, and for dancing like no-one is watching.

Originally an artistic outlet for Joseph Mount (composer, singer, keyboards, guitar) the group was formed in England in 1999 as an experiment in instrumental electronica. The group has grown significantly since then, and has crafted three albums, Pip Payne (2005), Nights Out (2008), and The English Riviera (2011), which blend vocal electronic pop music and instrumentals. Great live performances and incredibly catchy tunes have increased Metronomy's popularity, as have Mount's frequent remixes of songs from other artists such as the Gorillaz, Lykke Li, Lady Gaga, and Goldfrapp. Here you will find The Look off of their latest album, a great remix of the song by Fred Falke, and an amazing Metronomy remix of Gaga's You and I.
