Band Predicts the Future
During my office hours I did a little cleaning up and browsing through the cd stacks. A cd that caught my eye was Breakfast By the Dunes by Twittering Machine. I had to listen to this cd right away, for any band that was called Twittering Machine was worth at least one listen. Twittering Machine has a jazzy feel with whispery vocals and a sultry tone of tender Latin rhythms. That last sentence was from the sticker on the cover of the cd created by the record company.
Originally I thought that this band borrowed their name from the oh-so-popular micro-blogging service Twitter. I was wrong. This band released this debut album in 2003, while Twitter was publicly released in August of 2006. How interesting. Also, the first song on the cd is Birds. I can’t make this stuff up. It’s pretty crazy that this band had the name of a now insanely influential internet powerhouse three entire years before Twitter was even created.
I have to say, this could be my new relaxation cd. It’s pretty smooth.
