Long time no write.
But if there's one thing I've found out in 2009 it's that Thom Yorke is THE CURE. Not the band, no, but a sonic medication. If you're down, he'll get it up. Er, you, I meant, not it... Or actually, if you're down, just have a go at No Surprises, or how to make a depressing song sound jovial.
Otherwise, if you just want to hear something hazy, and not really know what he means, just have a go at his The Eraser album - masterpiece. My favourites (according the iTunes, anyway) are Atoms for Peace, Black Swan, and the Eraser.
Of course, I'm aware this isn't new, in fact it's far from being new, but now being the beginning of Autumn, I guess some of us are feeling quite sad or depressed, so here. Just like Spring means the flourishing of flowers and couples, Autumn and Winter mean death. Sad, but true. Who the fuck ever tells you "Oh, I"m so looking forward to Winter, and breaking my ankle sliding on the frozen floor on my way to school, and not being able to go back home" (true, autobiographic story). This also means having to help your niece take her tongue off frozen poles and so on, and so forth. So no, I'm not really looking forward to the next few months.
Anyway, some (or maybe not) might be wondering what I've been up to since my last blog, well... I wanted to do a proper full Pukkelpop review, but since two months have passed now, I'm feeling this sort of cantbearsed-ness, thus won't. If you really want to know, you'll find a way to find out... Right?
Anyway, since I've nothing relevant to say, I'll just paste a few songs I've been into these days.
Straight away, you'll realise all these songs don't have any connections whatsoever, but still, they're brilliant, methinks. Just ignore the silly fanvids for the last two, though.
But yes, if you've any suggestion, go ahead! Novelty is good...
There's also this mysterious -though good nevertheless - song I've heard yesterday for the first time but have had for a few years, strangely... Gissa listen!
Anyway, as you should, but mightn't know... I'm no big fan of Beyoncé, but this makes me change my mind on the coolness of her zikmu.
I like autumn/winter
ReplyDelete-I prefer winter clothes to summer.
-I feel fat in summer (reference to above).
-smoking is a lot more comfortable.
-drinking now has an important purpose: making us warm for when we adventure the cold.
-HOT CHOCOLATE!
-etc.
The whole "it makes me depressed" is bullshit, imho. Autumn/winter is more calm and melancholic, true, but it's like...a chance to look back? Jenesaispas.
Love the Beyoncé tribute (?) and buff 80's energy drink advertisement.
Neon Indian! Yeaaaaaaaah that was like THE summer song for me this year.
