Matt and Kim are a sort of indie dance duo from Brooklyn, New York. I first heard their song ‘Cameras’ and really dug it. Cameras is all about the modern phenomenon of constantly photographing everything (something I have a love/hate relationship with), it says how when you’re having a really awesome time, that the thought of taking photos doesn’t ever really occur to you.

If you’ve been in a cave for the last twenty odd years and didn’t know, Pearl Jam are an amazing rock band who in the year 1990 formed in America, to be more precise in the state of Washington and to be even more accurate in the coastal city of Seattle.
