As I sit here creating a profile on yet another networking site, I would just like to say that I am wasting away another sunny Saturday. I could use these afternoon hours to go for a quick surf or maybe finish my christmas shopping, but no. For now I will sit on the net enjoying the great indoors.
Due to the recent aquisition of an Itouch, I have had the pleasure of reaquainting myself with my music library and I feel like this is the weekend to rediscover everything I loved so much in the past, be that distant or, well, not so distant.
The big standout album for me has to be Interpol's "Our Love to Admire". There's no doubt that Interpol had already permeated a permanent spot in my top five favorite bands of all time, but there newest album had failed to really garner the emotional reaction I recieved when listening to "Antics" and "Turn on the Bright Lights". That is until just now.
I get it. I didn't before. Now I definately get it. It's slower...there are no "PDA'S" or "Evil's" ....It's an entire album of "Leif Erickson's", which I always felt was their best song anyway. So I'm still not sure why it took me 5 months to sit down and fucking listen. Just listen. It was so worth it.
I think the best way I can describe it has already been said by Zooey Deschanel's character in Almost Famous,
"Listen to this album with the lights off and a candle lit, and you will see your future..." I'm sure that wasn't an exact quote because I am shit at quoting movies but you can get the gist.
So maybe I'm exaggerating a little...but do it, at the very least you will come close :)
My Trusted MOGs
Of the many communities I have involved myself with on the Net, mog is by far my favorite. For me this is my respite from the ego political world where I can just submerge in music. Because of Mog, I have dug out a lot of my old stuff and listened to it with a new vantage point. I have also been hit right between the eyes by Interpol. Great band and I don't get tired of listening to them. I found your Mog by going to the Interpol mog page and listening to your post. Cheers and although I have not been mogging for long, welcome.
