There’s Hope, peoples. January 16, 2011

The music industry pulled it’s ass up out of the depths of the late 90’s/the year 2000’s SHITBOMB they called, music.

Now we gotta deal with these indie freaks.

I can only hope people stop being freaks.  They try so hard to be “different”, they end up all looking the same.  Their thought process, upon waking- “SO DUDE.  I’M JUST GOING TO SKIP A SHOWER FOR YET ANOTHER DAY.  COMPLETELY SKIP BRUSHING MY HAIR/TEETH AND JUST PUT ON SOME OF THESE CLOTHES THAT ARE SCATTERED ABOUT MY FLOOR.  *picks up random red jeans, mix match socks, a stinky holed-up thrift store tee shirt, an old (dead) man’s sweater (thrift store), and laces up a pair of docs.  NO WAAIT.  Slip-on sneakers from Wal-Mart**  Does that make sense, or only to us people living in Bmore?

**I am NOT knocking thriftin.  I ❤ it myself**

Anyways, I like this track, but I’d rather see these freaks riding around the city on a motorcycle with a sidecar, or two bicycles or a bicycle built for two.

Has that been done in a vid yet?  Probably so.  Still would’ve made a better vid than this:

The Sounds December 3, 2009

The Sounds make me wanna break out some old Elastica Cds.
And by OLD, i really mean OLD.

oh, Elastica?  That group is not familiar to you?  wikipedia, kid.  wiki that shit.   ORRRRR if you have a cool thirty-something year old aunt, ask her.  They were around in the 90’s.   i’m sure she has a few cds shoved in a plastic tub in the basement, or in a cd book under the driver’s seat.  she probably brings out the cds when the weather is starting to warm up.   i can imagine playing the cd while driving with the windows down.  her, i mean i can imagine her… cool spring air filling the automobile along with music from the 90’s.  ahhhhhhh, getting high off  nostalgia.

Elastica is/was about the only chic singer band that i can/could tolerate.  i mean, aside from Bjork & portishead, but thems on a completely different level.  I’m not trying to get all Lilith Fair on ya (you can wiki that, too).  Lilith Fair is like field hockey camp, but with musicians.  BARF.  no thanks.  I just dont dig on woman power & chic singers.  sorry.

anyways, The SOunds… they remind of Elastica.

audio on this video blows.

i recommend viewing his live performance on youtube, now that you’ve heard the track.
