Tegan and Sara

http://www.teganandsara.com/

I've pretty much been in love with Tegan and Sara since my freshman year of college. Some think it's because I am an angry feminist and have an odd need to listen to music about men fucking up. While sometimes that kind of song is really needed, that's not why I love them. To answer why would be far to complicated. But really, I just like their music. I can party to it, I can write to it, I can put it on when brushing my teeth. There's a song for everything. But none of that is really the point here. The point is the website.

I hadn't been here in awhile as I don't often just browse websites anymore. Sad, I know. But anyway, it's a neat site. Nothing too complicated and fairly straight forward. But there is certainly a narrative- that of Tegan and Sara, their journey to music and through it. And some things are pretty fun. I especially enjoy the book format of their current album "Con". And for some reason I am ticked by the scrabble tiles under "gallery". I don't know why. The images that come up when you click on a section aren't especially grand, but I like them.

The one thing the site is lacking is music, which seems really important for a musical group. But you can always follow the link to their myspace and hear music there.
