Two Door Cinema Club’s debut album “Tourist History” has already secured a spot in my top 10 favorite albums of 2010 and it’s about to get even better! On September 20, 2010 (my birthday!), TDCC is releasing a deluxe edition of “Tourist History” featuring a bonus disc of remixes (and 1 B-side). The track list is:
01. Kids
02. I Can Talk (French Horn Rebellion Remix)
03. Come Back Home (Is Tropical Remix)
04. Undercover Martyn (Jupiter Remix)
05. I Can Talk (Moulinex Remix)
06. What You Know (Cassian Remix)
07. Come Back Home (Ted & Francis Remix)
08. Something Good Can Work (Ted & Francis Remix)
09. Undercover Martyn (Softwar Remix)
10. Something Good Can Work (The Twelves Remix)
The Ted and Francis remix of “Something Good Can Work” is my favorite remix of the year, and the album sounds like a greatest hits record instead of a debut album. The band rocks live and they are all super nice. If this doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will.
However, if you are not sold by my glorious praise you can sample the merchandise by downloading a free mp3 of their non-album track “Hands of My Cash, Monty.” by signing up on Two Door Cinema Club’s mailing list.

The year is half over or half started, depending on your point of view. Some people would argue that June marks the half-way point of the year, but those who read this blog daily, aka MY HEROES, you know that nothing I do is conventional.
There’s been a lot of great music I’ve heard this year (thank The Creator) and to celebrate that fact, here’s my top ten list of best songs of 2010… so far.
See it after the jump.

I heart the Two Door Cinema Club. The Irish indie-pop/electronic band had just finished it’s first headlining gig in Manhattan (to which the band admitted several times on stage that it was one of the highlights of all of their lives!) on May 12, 2010 and I met lead singer Alex Trimble backstage at the Bowery Ballroom. I don’t think it’s possible that he could have been any nicer than he was. That makes me extra happy because I’ve been really loving Two Door Cinema Club’s debut album “Tourist History” for quite a while now and I love it when my favorites are nice to me. Thanks again Alex and I am confident that you and the rest of TDCC are going to be huge stars!

Two Door Cinema Club
On May 12, 2010, Irish indie-pop/electronic band Two Door Cinema Club played their first ever headlining gig in Manhattan at the Bowery Ballroom. I’ve been really enjoying their debut album “Tourist History” for quite awhile now and the good news for the USA is that it was just released. The album hardly sounds like a first record and instead sounds like a greatest hits set as pretty much every song on “Tourist History” is catchy enough to be a smash single. They sound a bit like the band Phoenix, but with much better lyrics. Sometimes when you like an album so much, it’s scary to hear it performed live, because it always disappoints, but that was not the case with Two Door Cinema Club. Their live act was just as fun as the album and the sold-out crowd was loving every minute of it and sang along to every word of every song, including a couple of tracks that never made it to the album! They played all of my favorites including “Undercover Martyn,” “This Is the Life,” “What You Know,” “Come Back Home,” “I Can Talk” and my latest obsession “Something Good Can Work,” and all of them sounded great. There’ll be a video of “Something Good Can Work,” coming soon, but let me warn you now – the sound quality is crappy, so you should definitely check out the studio version. The band revealed that they would be back in the fall to play the much larger Webster Hall, so it looks like these guys are well on their way to super-stardom. I met the band backstage after the show and they were all extremely nice. More on that to come as well. I highly recommend “Tourist History” and I am sure it will make my best albums of 2010 list.
For now, enjoy some more pictures and the set list after the jump.
