Hello adventurous readers! I'm Victoria Detmering, a junior at St. Bonaventure University studying journalism/mass communication and minoring in English. I live and breathe music. Among other things, I am the music director at WSBU The BUZZ. Thank you to everyone that's reading my posts, let me know what you have to say!
kickin' new flavor in ya ear
The Kills are known for their sound and
they do not disappoint. Their massive
drum machines are featured in almost
every song, and in “Nail In My Coffin,” they
use a ping pong ball for a different effect
that really shows how innovative they are
as musicians.
In “Wild Charms,” Jamie Hince takes
over with a calmer, gentler feel, almost as a
break in the album before Mosshart takes
a deep breath and yelps and snarls through
the rest of the album.
On one of the most soulful tracks, “The 
Last Goodbye,” Mosshart says, “I cannot
rely on a half-hearted love that will never
be whole.” It’s soft and quiet while she
realizes she needs to get over a relationship
that has been one-sided all along.
Blood Pressures is a great album, but
nothing really jumped out at me. I wanted
to learn something new through their
music that I didn’t know before.
