I discovered them while cruising around <a href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/\">Last.fm<\/a>. Since then they have jumped to the top of every chart in my mind and I couldn&#8217;t possibly be happier. Combining the sounds of English indie-pop, American folk rock, and a bit of the catchiness of European dance music, this Swedish group is truly amazing.<br \/>\nAccording to the band&#8221;s Last.fm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.last.fm\/music\/Billie+the+Vision+%26+The+Dancers\">profile page<\/a>, &#8220;Billie is not a person per se, but rather represents the inherent quality the band wants to encourage their listeners to find within themselves. Billie is about not being afraid of being naive, pretentious or corny, to be proud of what you are.&#8221;<br \/>\nIf you&#8221;re like me and afraid to lay out cash for a new album that may really suck then you&#8221;ll love the best part about Billie and the Dancers, they&#8221;re free. Their record company, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lovewillpaythebills.com\/\">Love Will Pay the Bills,<\/a> offers both of their albums for direct download through Last.fm or at their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billiethevision.com\/music.php\">website<\/a>. There really is no excuse not to try them out, and when you do I can guarantee you&#8221;ll like it.<br \/>\nSee my previous post about Last.fm: <a href=\"http:\/\/duenos.net\/article\/14\/melodic-match-making-on-lastfm\"> Melodic match-making on Last.fm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8221;s time to talk about my new favorite band, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billiethevision.com.\/\">Billie the Vision and the Dancers<\/a>.
