Music recs: The Birthday Massacre, The Corrs, Jedward
In the home stretch! Only got about five more of these in the bank.
The Birthday Massacre - New-wave goth rock. Lighter and airier than Evanescence, darker and eerier than Blackmore's Night, best when they're doing creepy-cute lovely melodies. (Birthday Massacre playlist.)
The Corrs - Pop rock with Celtic-fusion elements. Covers the whole emotional spectrum, but in particular, they have a talent for making love songs that go "you are so great and I love you and I'm happy and there's no catch" in a way that feels earnest and joyful, not thin or superficial. (The Corrs playlist.)
Jedward: Teen pop that's wildly mainstream-popular in Ireland and the UK -- they've been Eurovision finalists, twice -- but somehow hasn't jumped the Atlantic. Came out of The X Factor, same as One Direction, although they're identical twins instead of a 5-part boy-band. (Jedward playlist didn't exist so I made one.)
