    Totally Michael

    Do you like Captain Planet? Do you remember when “gak” was popular? Then you my friend would love Totally Michael. It’s not necessarily that they sing about any of that at all, but to me, their music oozes an odd sense of the 90s. Remembering when I was an 8-year old, watching the X-men cartoons and Pokemon, playing the original Super Smash Brother’s on my N64 and knowing that Otter Pops were the shit. It are these types of memories that Totally Michael conjures up in someone, and its for reasons completely unknown to me.

    When you listen to their music, it’s like everything is alright. It’s just really fun. I don’t know if it’s the beat or the words, but there’s just something inherently happy about it. From songs like “Summertime” and "Winona" that have and upbeat feel and lyrics that go along with it, to other tunes like “Casual Satisfaction” that are just 100% ridiculous. Even just listening to the music at home, you can tell that they play their music with just lots and lots of energy. And they really enjoy it as well. There’s none of that “this is a business and that’s the only reason why I am doing it” vibe at all. Just a completely awesome, fun, energy filled album. A couple of posts ago, I threw up a promotional video for their album. It uses pieces of the song “Slow Jam”, and tell me if doesn’t look like that video was a blast to shoot.

    On another note, I’d like to talk about their record label, IHeartComix. I first heard about IHC through Most People Are DJs quite awhile ago, when they actually played a remix of Winona on the show. Since then I’ve acquired quite a bit of what IHC has put out, and really, it’s all quality. From Santogold to Switchblade, lots and lots of good Pop and Dance music available. Worth your time if you are a connoisseur of quality jams. Check ‘em out.
