Friday Tunage: We Were Promised Jetpacks
It's been awhile, and this is something that got recommended to me about an hour ago and I have already listened to it too much. It's from a band called "We Were Promised Jetpacks" -- which is now one of my favorite band names, and not just because it recalls one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite shows, The West Wing:
Leo McGarry: My generation never got the future it was promised... Thirty-five years later, cars, air travel is exactly the same. We don't even have the Concorde anymore. Technology stopped.
Josh Lyman: The personal computer...
Leo McGarry: A more efficient delivery system for gossip and pornography? Where's my jet pack, my colonies on the Moon?
No idea if these Scottish blokes in the band are referencing that - somehow I'm skeptical - but regardless, they play some damn fine music. Here's a video of Quiet Little Voices, the first single from These Four Walls, their first release:

Have yourself a lovely weekend.
