Apparently, Casey is my biggest musical influence.

Lately I've been listening to a genre I never really had any interest in before this year: Indie-Electronica.Now, I have to qualify this by stating that most of this genre is completely and hideously awful and I'm amazed that people still buy and listen to half of it. Unfortunately, with the advent of affordable [music recording, mixing, and editing] technology, every half-emo-scene-kid with a huge chunk of time on their hands and no discernable talent can foist his or her horrendous "poetry" on the world, complete with pre-set loops and way too much auto-tune. However, occasionally one does come across something worth mentioning in this catagory (see my entry on "Owl City" and please go look up LA's dynamic duo "The Bird and The Bee"), and that is my pick today:

Swimming With Dolphins

This duo has some seriously catchy, un-self-consciously original electronic happiness going on here. They do what they do really well and make it fun to dance to in the bargain. A listen through "Everything's a Miracle" is certainly well worth your time.
