The Strokes Post #629
mmmm Angles is building up to be monumental.
my attempts at lyrics:
Animals will take these things about some pain that they once felt
There’s no one that I disapprove more of or root for more than myself
I wanted to pretend that it was better better better on the phone
I didn’t wanna tell you I was jealous jealous jealous and alone
So we talked about ourselves in hell
To forget the love we never felt
Are we all jokes, then what’s the world?
It matters too
Don’t try to stop us, don’t try to stop us, don’t try to stop us
Get out of the way
Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see
She sees her father in the poor man’s eyes
It’s crippling he says (?)
Animals on tv singing about something they felt at some point
I wanted to tell you it was better better better
What’s the point?
As I watched the veil
With dreams so clear
And the door was closed
For forty years
Cause we hide what we don’t wanna hear
As we hide our dream here
He is coming from a part of hell
Well why then do I not go down well (?)
We can tell it well
I’m barely up
It’s a picture man, we dig as well
Making fools out of the best of us
Making robots of the rest of us
And the tale to tell a million girls today
Where’s our time just look
Don’t try to stop us don’t try to stop us don’t try to stop it
Get out of the way

at 3:48, while Jules is singing "I'll wait for you", I swear Fab is about to cry. HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, CAL! your dad is the coolest dude alive.

new Death Cab for Cutie: "Codes and Keys"
sounds like old Death Cab. Ben Gibbard played the following two songs last week at his sold out Noisepop show at Great American Music Hall. "Codes and Keys" is supposedly Brian Eno-esque on the album

and here is a solo song from Ben, his contribution to the Arthur soundtrack (the 2011 remake of the 1981 film, starring Russell Brand)

new Arctic Monkeys: Brick by Brick
this isn't my favourite, a bit repetitive but there's something interesting about it...
it gets better after the middle point for sure. the guitar gets sleezy and drawn out. I wish the lyrics were more involved but I do dig the dirtiness of the track. I'm an AM fan through and through and am very excited for their new release this year, more details on that soon.
and sorry, video, but the one for Cornerstone will always be the greatest AM video ever. Alex T, you're a fucking legend.

The Strokes Post #627
so this combines everything I love about old Strokes with everything I love about new Strokes. UCoD in a nutshell, basically
he threw the mic stand! IN A STROKES VIDEO THAT IS NOT A LIVE CONCERT! I worship you, Julian C. that little grin at the end...my g-d that could make a fan girl out of Ozzy.
