I’ve listened to Random Access Memories at least once a day since it started streaming on iTunes and my favourite song changes with each of those listens. I think that’s testament to just how much of a complete album this really is as it’s able to transcend whatever mood, musical or emotional, you’re currently in. Today is very much a Giorgio kind of day.
The perfect way to celebrate last night is being able to finally listen to this. Four songs in, it really is something special.
A laundry list of problems doesn’t make you interesting,
And never getting help doesn’t make you brave,
Not listening to reason doesn’t mean that you have faith,
Your just cutting off your nose to spite your face
Whenever the intro song to Full Collapse comes on, I instinctively go searching for anything in arms reach that can emulate a microphone and can be swung around my head multiple times, ready for when Understanding… kicks in.
It’s been years since a line up of a home festival has tickled my fancy, but this years End of the Road looks sublime. Maybe excluding Eels, who I’m not really a fan of, the first twelve bands on that list are on point.
On realising that you’ve got a herculean walk home ahead of you, there’s nothing more satisfying than finding a pair of earphones in a random pocket of your jacket.
Trust Daft Punk to give me a reason to use the repeat button on Spotify for the first time.
Whenever I listen to Poliça, I find that I have a conversation with myself about what is the correct way of pronouncing their name, completely ignoring the wonderful music that’s filtering through my ears.
Even when forgetting about its use in a great film, this song still gets me every time I hear it.
