Think Quick and Chip Pop

Think Quick-"Certain Somethings"

From Wikipedia:

Think Quick is an indie rock/New Wave/Synth-Pop band founded by Izzy D in Fairfield, CT while studying at Fairfield University. They are single-handedly responsible for creating the genre of Chip Pop. Abandoning his previous project, Silentype, Izzy opted to go for a Postal Service rip-off sound. The acoustic ballad, "Final Moment", was the first song to be made electronic. It was a fun experiment and it that was just the start. Initially using Madtracker, and then dabbling with Renoise, Izzy finally rested upon FL Studio as his music program of choice and still uses it today.

In an attempt to garner some attention in Summer 2007, "Hollaback Girl (Think Quick's 8-bit remix) was created and posted on Youtube. "Think Quick - Hollaback Girl 8bit remix". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLgT6JAh29M. Retrieved 2009-10-09. The video was footage of gameplay from a disco hacked Super Mario Bros 2 rom, and its flashing lights caused seizures in some viewers. In mid-2007, the music of Jennifer Sanchez "Jennifer Lonestar". http://www.myspace.com/jenniferlonestar. Retrieved 2009-10-09. caught Izzy's ear. He contacted her and she agreed to join the band as a second vocalist. "Certain Somethings", a song inspired by the cashier at Five Guys Burgers and Fries in Newtown, CT was their first duet.

In January, 2008, the song "Best of This" was written about the Spic and Span deli clerk, Brittany H, after taking some amount of Jagermeister. Later, in February, after getting ditched by Molly M after seeing Juno and Cloverfield in the same week, Izzy would pen the song, "John Hughes Wrote Home Alone". A song with several allusions to the films Home Alone and Home Alone II: Lost in New York, both directed by John Hughes. At the O'Donnell Memorial Day Picnic, Izzy would meet Meg F. Whom he would eventually passively court. The two saw Wanted and Pineapple Express together, in July. After several weeks of unanswered texts, the song, "The Opposite of Sick of You", was born.

Currently, Izzy has compiled all his best songs into a 30-song, 80-minute demo cd-r entitled "The John Hughes Demo" or "jhd" which he has made available for free "The John Hughes Demo". http://www.thinkquick.us/demo.
