YEEZUS

The second half just feels super Christmasy to me. Don’t ask me why.

on the way home through a dark mountain road tired after a long day of errands blasted deep purple’s machine head because nothing wakes you up to driving like the screeches of highway star

Selected Ambient Works Volume II

My mom used to work til midnight and would blast the stereo to stay awake. One time she got pulled over for one of those sobriety checks over the holidays and the cop did a double take after he had her roll down the windows.

hahaha what did she have on?

dirty bunny · 12.22.2018, 11:10 PM

It would've been a 'classic" rock station, so anything from Hendrix to Floyd to Tom Petty.

On another occasion the cop asked if she'd had anything to drink and she just laughed and told him she'd just gotten off work 5 minutes ago. He let her go.

(and if I remember correctly that last one happened on September 10th, 2001).

!@#$%! · 12.22.2018, 11:15 PM

dang, i remember that night too, i happen to have been up all night and it was a massive full moon

then i get to work all bleary-eyed and it’s the alpacalypse

anyway, for a drive, loudness and speed are not enough— science proved a while ago that having something singable wakes you more.

maybe that’s the origin of the road trip singalong

mamma mia let me go

dirty bunny · 12.23.2018, 01:47 AM

Singability isn't discussed enough, in my opinion.

Yeah the next day was completely surreal. I had a college radio show back then and I was thinking: should I go in today? Yeah it felt like this huge disaster, that even though we were so far away from New York City, it was felt in every corner of North America.

Listening to Pretty Girls Make Graves again (self-titled EP)

Descendents - Milo Goes to College

Antagon · 12.23.2018, 11:30 AM

Alone and chill at the local art space, this coming from the speakers. Fucking love it.

dirty bunny · 12.23.2018, 11:20 PM

Listening to the first song on Daughter's album You Won't Get What You Want.

His voice reminds me of someone, Interpol's lead singer?

I saw SY's name mentioned in a review on RYM and it earned their #1 of the year also.

Not sure if it's my cup of noise.

Does Interpol's lead singer have a voice? Last time I checked he was aping Ian Curtis left and right...

dirty bunny · 12.23.2018, 11:57 PM

You may have a point there.

I heard that new lead singer of Journey, and his voice does sound a lot like Steve Perry's, but he is so clearly imitating his delivery on the older Journey tunes.

So in both cases it's like having an impersonator as your lead "singer". Hmm.

dirty bunny · 12.24.2018, 12:04 AM

By the way, stuck around for the whole album. Pretty good. First impression is that there may be a bit too much vocals and not enough "music" to really satisfy on repeated listens.

choc e-Claire · 12.24.2018, 12:32 AM

Bought last Christmas. Revisiting before tomorrow.

right.

also, i should go there, a catchy tune is a great technological advancement. often derided by snots, but a dominant technology for ages.

i mean, how else did you carry music with you before spotify, before the ipod, before the walkman and portable headphones, before the transistor radio?

in your head, of course.

i go on morning marches (lol) and some days i have headphones on some days i get some sticky sticky tune and i keep beat to it with my left foot.

sometimes these tunes mutate into others, like...

oh i forget. i had some jazz in my head and ended with hole somehow because some notes matched and the thing mutated. like dawkins’ memes

o man i was right in line with the plane that was supposed to hit the white house. no joke. like if the passengers would not have downed it in pa it could have potentially flattened my neighborhood cuz i lived right off 16th st and if you go down 16th st on say a skateboard you slam right into the back of the white house

a very weird morning. uffffff....

i did not look at the tv

dirty bunny · 12.24.2018, 03:47 AM

Ha I was just watching a Ted talk about repetitiveness in pop songs and his conclusion was that it was a good thing.

He's not wrong!

That's wild! Yeah that was a crazy time.

And yes, it's a good EP. I love them!
