I've decided that having a music review blog is useless, because I'm not a music reviewer. However, I am listening to a lot, and this will hopefully be a weekly post to keep track of it.
Reptilia-The Strokes: The big song at the moment, the one I can't stop listening to. I love Is this It, but Reptilia is better then those songs(except for maybe Trying Your Luck). The Strokes just know how to create awesome guitar riffs that aren't meant to rock hard(Which they do) but are just there to be great music. Reptilia is one of their best songs.
Dots and Dashes-Dealership: I'm always listening to this song. Unfortuantely I can't find the mp3 anywhere(it's availible on Myspace though). But this song is so deceptive. It looks like cheery pop at the start, good cheery pop, but it takes a left turn by the end. And I love left turns. Dealership aren't the best band but I hope their next album has more songs like this.
Papa Won't Leave You Henry-Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds: Probably Cav'es second best song, behind Carry Me, Papa Won't Leave You Henry is so raw and ferocious that you can't turn it off. It's brilliant, beautiful, destructive, and so much more. I'm always in aw of what Nick Cave can do.
Surfer Rosa/Doolittle-Pixies: I downloaded both of these and it's so hard to choose which is better because they are so different in tone and style but are both incredible. Those Pixies are so inventive. However, you know the phrase Sophie's choice? I'm gonna change the phrase to Pixie's choice.
When Doves Cry/I Would Die 4 U-Prince: Totally awesome, though these are the only two songs I've really listened to on Purple Rain. I should listen to more of it.
Knives Out-Radiohead: Radiohead are god, I'm declaring it here. But I haven't been listening to them much recently and so I went back through their albums and was presently surprised by how good they really were. And Knives Out was the song that really went from solid Radiohead to now being one of my favourites. It's like a dark, idiosyncratic version of Seeing Other People by Belle and Sebastion. And I respect that.
Cosmic Dancer-T. Rex: Brilliant.
