Track:Cool Cool Universe
I haven’t dropped of the face of the earth but I haven’t spent enough time here lately to make me happy. Some of y’all know I’m an auditor and most organizations operate on a calendar year so I’ve been ridiculously busy. I miss the shit out of you guys. I’m even in a rut musically. I like to mix things up, but for the past few weeks I’ve been on a steady diet of Ima Robot, Gym Class Heros, and Authority Zero. I did as much of a review as I’m going to do for Gym Class Heros, because while it is fun – I’m already getting tired of it. That pretty face goes only so far. Heh.I think Ima Robot is working for me right now because I’m slightly brain dead. My body and brain are conserving energy – if it’s not GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) – it’s not processed. For example, normally I wallow around in brickbat’s posts like a pig in mud. Right now, she’s speaking Latin for me but Ima Robot’s simple lyrics seem like high poetry. That’s where I’m at mentally.Lyrics that I’m talking about:It’s a cool, cool, cool, cool universe/and all the wonderful things just make it worse/I got an oh oh oh oh oh it hurts/You’re such a cold, cold, cold, cold universe.This is the beat, the beat we fight to/This is the beat we live and die to/Here’s to the kids, they’re getting off/We work all week to sweat it off/This is the beat to beat the pressure/Throwing away the world with pleasure.even this one…..(hear it to the beginning of Prince’s I Would Die For You….I’m not your lover, I’m not your man….)Call me your lover/Call me your man/all this possessiveness I can’t just understand/I gotta name/My name is Alex/You want to chill with me, you won’t be in no palace.As for the music: don’t ask me. I know they are a throwback – to what and to who – I can’t say. I’m not good at spotting the influences. It’s got guitars and you can bounce around the room to it: tada! Maybe it would be easier to say who I think would enjoy this, in order: Britt, Anna, and Dale. Here’s a song, take a listen and see if you like it. (I’m brain dead remember? You weren’t expecting a fantabulous post were you?)
