So, who likes male/female alternating vocals(I think there's a better term for it, but right now that's what we'll go with)? Everybody loves male/female alternating vocals. It was good in The Talking Heads. B52's? Yep they had it. Awesome with Stars. Architecture in Helsinki? Quite nice.
That brings us to today, with Black Kids. Alternating male/female vocals, you wonder, you betcha they're there. Lots of energy? check. Tongue-in-cheek humor? I would say so, just take the song title "I'm Not Going to Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You". Their songs have a bit of an 80's feel, but its not over the top. It could be due to the facts that some of the vocals have a slight Robert Smith of The Cure feel to them, and the keyboards add to the feel but not of The Cure.
Anyway see for yourselves.
This is their video for "I'm Not Going to Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You"-

On another note, Joss Whedon recently made a short called Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long-Blog. Sound weird? It is a bit, but its also pretty awesome and a warning-slightly tragic. Its got Neal Patrick Harris as Doctor Horrible, Nathan Fillion from Firefly and Serenity as Captain Hammer, and Felicia Day.
