MGMT - ‘Kids’

I guess I don't like drunks?

The other day at work a colleague was reviewing ‘The Big Lebowski’ . I am one of the few people I know who doesn’t like or ‘get’ that film and find the characters in it quite revolting.

Other films that I respond to in a similar way are ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ and and ‘Sideways’.

I guess we have a pattern there.

“In response, the more excitable areas of the music press have started carrying on as if Alex Turner is the first person in history to make an album influenced by Scott Walker. I’ve researched this thoroughly and can exclusively reveal that he isn’t.”

“Nobody was leaving comments: There’s only so many “Comments (0)” you can see on a page. Of course, I knew that this is largely my own fault: if the content I create isn’t engaging enough to incite conversation, then I shouldn’t be expecting many replies. That being said, the content was personally important enough for me to publish it, so the compromise was to remove the option for commenting altogether.”

““I’m Wayne Davis,” he says. “I’m your father.” Alas, Dylan does not scream “NOOO!” or let go of the scaffold she’s hanging on or drop into a bottomless airshaft to end up hanging from a weather vane. That would be kind of awesome.”

tuneage:

M83 - Up!

M83’s new album Saturdays=Youth takes heavy cues from the dreamiest of the 80’s canon including the Cocteau Twins and a bevy of New Romantic optimists. This particular track, “Up!”, is clearly a tribute to the inimitable Kate Bush down to the vocal; there’s even a lyrical reference to the “hounds of love.” Yes, it’s all very obvious but the song gently envelops you in its gossamer synth bliss and reminds you of first crushes of the school year, golden autumns, and the gilded age of youth. Oh, to be young again and in the 80s…it’s everyone’s dream.

“Cat: What ho, mine eye doth spy a toothsome dish
All full of meat and hearty goodwife’s cheese
My bowl be full of food, and yet I wish
For viands more elaborate than these
Mistake me not for some unwanted cur,
But hear me well— I can haz cheeseburger?”
