Favourite Things
Just added the seductively sweet "Favourite Things" by the Golden Filter to my MP3 player. Clocking in at 4 minutes and 33 seconds it seems a lot shorter and may tempt you to hit 'repeat' quite a few times.

Not the kind of favorite things you'd find in The Sound of Music. This stuff is funkier and definitely not the kind Julie Andrews had in mind.


Take a look at the words:

New York, Sydney, Paris, London, New York, Sydney
These are a few of my favourite things
Ice cream, chocolate, coffee, sugar, ice cream, chocolate
These are a few of my favourite things
Candy, lollies, kitties, bunnies, knee highs, stockings
These are a few of my favourite things
Vintage, dresses, vodka, whiskey, kitty, bunny,
Paris, London, sweet girls, cute boys, vodka, whiskey, cameras, pictures
These are a few of my favourite things
These are a few of my favourite things
These are a few of my favourite things
Vintage, dresses, vodka, whiskey, cameras, London
These are a few of my favourite things  


I love how 'ice cream' and 'chocolate' are mentioned more than once...definitely my kind of song!!:) My favorite music website (/http://www.allmusicguide.com/) has this info on them:

The Golden Filter are an enigmatic New York electro duo that started gaining a buzz from their remixes of Cut Copy and Peter Bjorn and John. Even with their identities hidden from the Web, word of their music spread after they sent their first song, a breathy, arpeggiated disco jam titled "Solid Gold," to a few music blogs in the summer of 2008. Dummy magazine signed Stephen (production/synths) and Penelope (vocals) to their fledgling label soon after and the two made plans to play SXSW before going on tour with the Presets. In 2009, the Dummy label released "Solid Gold" as a limited 7" with "Favourite Things" as the B-side.
