'Silly Crimes,' The Tough Alliance
From 2006's 'New Waves'

I can't get enough of 'Silly Crimes' by the Tough Alliance, who my friend turned me onto. Being that it's summer, this tune is apropos in its feel-good synthesized way. The Swedish electro-pop duo sing out with invigorating fervor: "This new wave's coming in/Don't know where to begin/Brand new trophies to win/Brand new ways to fit in."

It's a hopeful tune, tried and true to get everyone dancing as my recent party attendees can attest. The Tough Alliance are releasing a new album soon, which means a tour is likely to follow. I've heard their stage antics are strange -- they swing baseball bats.
