I recently installed Songbird in my newly revamped home PC and inadvertently used up my free trial subscription to Last.fm Radio. I loved it so much I thought to subscribe for a month and see how much use I get out of it and so far, it’s nothing short of awesome. Like Pandora, you pick your musician, style or even just a keyword, hit play and the site creates a radio station specific to whatever your criteria was. Pretty awesome.
But the story doesn’t end there, it only starts there. I was listening to Xandria and clicking through from one thing to another, Twittering the entire time of course, when a friend (thanks TheWeeJenny!) recommended I check out this band called Korpiklaani. Let me tell you, I was in shock when I noticed that they’re listed as “Viking Folk Metal”. I know what you’re thinking: what on earth does Viking Folk Metal sound like? Well, it sounds like these guys. I think of it as Celtic music on heavy drugs and I can’t stop listening. And seriously, with songs titled “Beer Beer”, “Happy Little Boozer” and “Let’s Drink” how could you NOT love it? Seriously, I listen to this and I want to run down to the local pub, buy a pint, pop these guys in and jump around.
I dare you to put either of these tunes on at the next party. It’s bound to bring down the house. These are what I call drinking songs done right!
