My current favourite remix from Simian Mobile Disco, taken off the single for "W.A.Y.U.H."...which by the way, stands for "Whoo! Alright, Yeah Uh-Huh"...
My sentiments exactly!

feeling down? Poetry all the same. Of you don't get the song, you don't get much. It's movement man... movement.. and shit.. the bipolar buzz

...broadband is squezed back into my machine after 7 months being dark.
I'm not listening to much music right now for a few different personal reasons, but have thrown The Rapture's new album on the fire as new, meaningless music to infect with everything that's going on right now.
And I really like it - slick and over produced as it is. Digestable pop music that isn't totally engineered without character, isn't entirely souless.

I freely admit that I pirate music, and I'm not sorry. There's a lot of mediocre releases constantly coming out, and while my opinion of "mediocre" may not be the same as yours, I'm just not wealthy enough to buy everything that I read about before I can hear the whole thing (several times). I love MOG recommendations, but nothing anybody can write will convince me to blindly purchase it. SO in the last 72 hours I went on a huge downloading binge and got anything I could... MORE

What's with The Rapture? ...Huh? ...Meep. Sheeeeeeeesh... Gone from uber-darlings of the skinny-tie-dance-punk-ethos (NB: I-like-hyphens) with what was quite possibly the most played single of the genre - "House of Jealous Lovers" - to backlash lepers in one album (Echoes). And NOW, they're releasing singles with videos that reference Kool & the Gang (and Jessica Simpson, if I were to be nasty) and pledge their undying love for a Beastie Boys aesthetic. Witness: The Ra... MORE

A bit behind the curve, since "Get Myself Into It" is spinning via The Rapture's MySpace, but dayum! If this is an indication of what a few years off and distancing onesself from DFA does, me likey. Yes, we're sounding very Talking Heads here, but is that such a bad thing? It's refreshing to hear these guys a little less manic and even more ass-shakin'.

I’ve had mixed feeling on The Rapture ever since they fell onto the ’80s dance punk revival scene five or so years back. Like most Rapture fans, I adored their club hit “House of Jealous Lovers” but felt so-so about the rest of their songs, vocals often time felt too derivative of Robert Smith, droning repetition in others started to wear on me. Never fully fell for them, especially seeing how I typically have a difficult time believing in the latest retro sound. Revivals ... MORE

Just finished my second spin on The Rapture's new album, Pieces of the People We Love, and...urm. I'm a bit disappointed. On one hand, I admire their total commitment to the party vibe; just about every track here can light up a dancefloor, and it's all very fun. But there's been something lost, also. No slow songs here, none of the pindrop spareness of a track like "Open Up Your Heart"; the closest we get are a couple moody grinds like "Callin Me." And on the faster ... MORE

The Rapture's new CD "Pieces of the People We Love" was waiting for me when I got home today. First of all, I love The Rapture - I saw them open for Interpol and The Cure in NYC and was instantly hooked. Echoes was excellent - and these guys are just FUN live. I've been really worried about this CD - I was a little less worried when I heard the first single "Get Myself Into It" which was very Echoes-esque, but a good single is a long way from a good album. Today, whe... MORE

yeah, new album by The Rapture. Released two days ago. Listen to it. It's a good idea. Pieces of the People We Love seems very different from their other work... I'm thouroughly enjoying it and think you should be too. thats all.

So today I made
A casserole.
And I danced around the kitchen and cleaned the floor while I did it.
Now thats what I call productivity.
I've been honing my cooking skillz
cause my Rina is gonna be here in 3 or 4 days
and I wanna be able to cook for her
I know casseroles and sloppy joes are not so romantic
but she requested the lemon poppy seed chicken.
So I made it today
and I shall make it again when she comes.
Did I mention I'm excited?
I'm excited.
