What I'm Listening To: Triple J Stuff

A recent trip to Corner Hotel to see Last Dinosaurs (disappointing really) allowed us to catch a glimpse of Twinsy and the Jungle Giants!

Twinsy, being a dominantly 2-man DJ bleepbloop thing didn't really work out being the first act.. but upon looking them up online boyyyy I wish they were the headliners, really -

Foot-tapper, no?

hangover

my vision is blurred my speech is slurred my heart is curred

my feet are numb
bring on the rum
i'm not done -
noe gimme some.

shirley's touching my temple
as i weep over bloody mary
what can i say, she was my morning glory.

It's funny how used to be isn't what it used to be.
I think you know what i'm getting at.
You should've had listened to the new version by now.
I think it says alot about the both of us.
It's new, louder, different, more upbeat, but not necessarily nicer, or better. still, it's something fresh.
The major keys used make it sound a zillion times happier. Maybe that's what we are now.
I still like the old version. The tambourines. I remember telling you that.
In this version, it was used somewhat.. frivolously and awkwardly.
Frivolous and awkward. Yeah, that sounds like us too.
They took away the magical bit at 2:29 too. Yeah, the magic kinda did go away didn't it.

It's different. And that's okay. Change is good.
I hope life's treating you better. You deserve it.

Ryuichi Sakamoto

Thank you for making the world a better place.

must've been deaf when I deleted local natives's gorilla manor, under the notion that they were just another weird-american-folk. this stuff is gold.
that aside, I've been listening to a lot of the drums, as well as this awesome gospel album called elevator music that paul meany and darren king performed on! when I say awesome, I mean.. makes your hair stand / makes your feet dance / makes your heart turn into mush kinda awesome. jimi hendrix's cover of cream's sunshine of your love just kicks ass.
I'm also not ashamed to say I've been listening to A1, aaron carter, mariah carey (that infectious mimi album), beyonce and flo-rida's right round is *gulp the second most played song on my last.fm (I still refuse to believe that this is accurate)
yes, I know. I have no shame.
