Okay, I just realised something…some of my favorite musical artists I find from “Grey’s Anaotmy.” (Maybe I watch too much tv? Oh, btw - how great was Grey’s last night!?)

Last year I started actually looking up some of these amazing songs that I would hear on GA, and I found that I really liked the artists! My first find was Brandi Carlile, whom I talk about constantly. The other group I’ve discovered I like is Tegan and Sara.

Tegan and Sara are twins from Calgary, Alberta. This song, “The Con” comes off of an album by the same name. This marks their 5th album.

Rolling Stone reviewed their latest album here:

As lesbians who never reference their oppression or even their sexuality, Tegan and Sara don’t have men to lash out at, put up with or gripe about. This may be why their uncommonly detailed love songs are so short on drama - a riddle worth pondering, because their keyboard-heavy, New Wave-ish music is also uncommonly catchy. When Sara changes up a chorus with a melodically climactic “But I promise this/I won’t go my whole life/Telling you I don’t need,” or Tegan caps a verse with a hook that goes, “All I need to hear is that you’re not mine,” your musical impulse is to empathize, if not identify. But the objects of their romantic ambivalence remain distant - the focus is the singer’s feelings, examined rather than indulged. Tune seekers will admire many of these songs - “The Con,” “Nineteen,” “Back in Your Head,” “Like O, Like H.”

Check it out, tell me what you think!
