Bits and Pieces
Posted by topazosprey on July 8, 2009
I did six hours of data entry today at the office. It was data entry for a worthy cause, but I think the only thing that was preventing my brains from dribbling out of my ears was that my headphones were in there to staunch the flow. That and very, very loud music.
Speaking of loud music, Black Lips are absolutely amazing. It’s filthy, psychedelic garage punk. The kind of music that makes you boogie around your kitchen, banging your head and twisting and shaking your hips. Glorious! I’m especially into “Body Combat” and “Take My Heart” right now, and “Buried Alive” is a bona fide classic.
Oh, and the new Arctic Monkeys single, “Crying Lightning” is also dark and seductive and fun. That Alex Turner really loves his 1960s spy movie soundtracks, if this song and most of The Age of the Understatement are any indication.
If you want to read more of my writing, I’ve started to blog for this really awesome study abroad site, GulliverGo. You can find it here: www.gullivergo.com/blog. I just have one entry up there at the moment, but that should change soon enough!
And as a farewell for now, a very cool video that makes me both marvel at the sheer number of cuts involved and also giggle at the weirdness of it. Enjoy.
