Click to listen to Casiokids' 'Golden Years'

Norwegian electro-pop group Casiokids are releasing their next full-length album, Aabenbaringen over aaskammen, on October 11th. Appropriately, given the group's name, Casiokids' first song off the album, the upbeat and twinkling electro-dance track "Golden Years," is filled with the familiar sounds of a Casio. Frontman Ketil Kinden Endresen reveals, "We use the Casio CZ-101 for the main Casio parts on this song, the same Casio used by Salt-N-Pepa on their hit 'Push It'.' Aabenbaringen over aaskammen will be released on October 11th, but you can download "Golden Years" for free here.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
