Bats For Lashes - The Haunted Man
Alex on September 24 2015
I have one request, one simple request. When my time is up and my family and friends attend my funeral - I want no speeches but I do want a giant speaker system. And what will play from that speaker system you ask? One simple sound -- the Pacman death noise.
Cranes - Worlds

Sounds a lot like lykke li, but it isnt, dont be so stupid. Cranes first album was released in 1986, I can tell you exactly what I was doing the year this album came out. I was a young tot in Virginia, only 3 years of age. I'm at a birthday party in Chuck E. Cheese's at a sub urban shopping center. We're all sitting in the big room with the creepy mechanicals playing music and singing. A pizza was put in front of my face, now i was no stranger to pizza at this point having grown up with 2 parents that worked 13 hour days, but this pizza was different. The pizza in question had small red circles on it, I was horrified, terrified, I may of infact shit my pants cause thats what three year olds do. I grabbed my nanny Yolanda and proclaimed there's some gnarly debris on my pie. She sat me down and explained to me the miracle that is pepperoni, she said its like bacon but different. I was game, it was then and there my life would never be the same. This is in the first chapter of my memoirs, check them out in a couple years when im done, it's gonna be a best seller.
Chairlift - I Belong in Your Arms

Those familiar with the site are aware of my undying love for Caroline Polachek. Somehow I missed this album release and am just now comprehending at how absolutely flawless this album is. For the most part every song can stand alone as a decent track and that's hard to come by these days. Too often artists just cram together whatever bullshit they've assembled in the studio and you get an album with one single and a bunch of b sides and the record labels wonder why we pirate music. Bravo Chairlift. (Caroline, call me)
In other news: We may not be here soon. Samuel L. Jackson told me on a History channel special that the Earth is probably ending on the 21st. I feel a rant coming on... How the fuck can people be so stupid to think with all of our modern technology people who did shit like cut off heads to appease the gods knew more about our universe than modern society? These mother fuckers didn't even have cars with spinners, their math was on point but homeboys didn't even know how to make a cheese steak. And really isn't that the real testament to technology? Cheese steak technology.
