If I had my PhD in music, then I would say that you need a prescription for some Tahiti 80 music. Your ears look a little weak and your heart needs a little more electronic-soul. I am going to start you off on something catchy and beautiful, Tahiti 80’s most popular track ‘Heartbeat’.
Then you should start your intake of music off of Tahiti 80’s albums Wallpaper for the Soul, Fosbury and Puzzle.
Are you obsessed yet with Xavier Boyer’s voice yet? Here is a free download Tahiti 80 has provided for a song called ‘Good Boy’.
You should be ready for their fourth album, Activity Center, which comes out in the US on November 24th.
The ever-so classic sounding Tahiti 80 graced us with their pop and presence at The Troubadour in Los Angeles, CA last night. I was smitten over Xavier’s vocals. The show was tasteful, elegant and captivating. I had the chills and it felt really good. Did I mention already that they are French and this was really rare and awesome to see them live!
Tahiti 80 has been making powerful pop music with disco beats and dancy synths, since 1996. Are you shocked? Are you curious? You should be.
If you can handle taking a break from the also amazing French pop band Phoenix, then I strongly suggest giving your ears a taste of Tahiti 80. They have a similar appeal in sound. My head hurts from wondering so hard why Tahiti 80 never really has been a break out band in the US. Can we please all start the revolution together and devote ourselves to Tahiti 80’s breakout!?!
Oh and that prescription I gave you, does not expire. In fact, there is not really a way to overdose!

Since I Don't Have Lacunar Amnesia ...
As much as I believe in natural heeling and nothing is nothing - I would go to a doctor in 2 seconds at any cost to zap the chemical reaction in my brain from transmitting these memories and feelings I have for you.

Slow Club - ‘Giving Up On Love’
This track is off the band’s album Yeah So. Slow Club is a duo from Sheffield, England. I really hate to bring up The Ting Tings because I dislike them so much, their name makes me cringe, but hopefully (sooner then later) The Ting Tings will loose their ability to try and sing after getting hit by a car while singing about red lights and green lights their vocal boxes will stop working, and Slow Club will get the attention they deserve as a duo. (I realize that is a bit dramatic)
SLOW CLUB _ A talented duo indeed. They have beautiful harmony, they sing about love, the remind of The White Stripes mixed with a little Dirty Projectors.
‘GIVING UP ON LOVE’
We’ve been over and over
This thing we call love
And I’ve been thinking about
What my friends would say
If I were to give it up
Cause I’ve been tired and hopeful (I’ve been hurting inside)
For far too long now (too long now)
So I’m giving it up, giving up, giving up on love
Giving up on love
Hold back, you’ve got me all wrong
And now it’s like it’s over before it’s even begun
You need to sit back and take it as a test
If you’d given me straight answers I would never have had to guess
Cause I’ve been tired and hopeful (I’ve been hurting inside)
For far too long now (too long now)
So I’m giving it up, giving up, giving up on love
Giving up on love
And it was obvious from the start
We were the only ones with hearts
And you pull mine apart
With the things that you do
The house was falling from the cliffs
It is only glass and brick
If you throw enough it sticks
I learnt that before
It’s a battle not a war
Cause we’ve been over and over
This thing we call love
And I’ve been thinking about
What my friends would say
If I were to give it up
Cause I’ve been tired and hopeful (I’ve been hurting inside)
For far too long now (too long now)
So I’ve given it up, given up, given up on love
Given up on love (given up, given up)
Given up on love (given up, given up)
Given up on love (given up, given up)
Given up on love (given up, given up)
Given up on love
Given up on love (given up, given up)
Given up on love (given up, given up)
Given up on love (given up, given up)
Given up on love (given up, given up)
Given up on love (given up, given up)
Given up on love
