Song of the Day: 'Don't Save Me' by HAIM


Although they are current, I'm guessing my love of HAIM isn't scoring me too many points in the hip department. Still, I figured out in the shower yesterday what seems to appeal to me so much about the California trio, and any hint of relevance I may have tapped into will surely be erased with this revelation: Danielle, who is the niddle sister and lead singer, sounds shockingly similar to Michal Steele, who rarely sang lead but still managed to contribute several of the Bangles finest songs when she did, notably "Following," "Complicated Girl" and "Glitter Years." Do you hear it, too?

TOTALLY heard Michael Steele's voice - and even style. I always thought, and even wrote a few times, that Steele was a totally underused member of the Bangles who never go her due.

But I've never really listened to Haim. I keep hearing comparisons to Fleetwood Mac, which I have yet to truly pick-up on.

Aaaah I've said the same thing! Maybe that's why I love Haim so much also! LOL! Can't wait to hear what these ladies have in store for the future.
