Hey, everyone! Get yrselves together

Hey rain! Stoppit.

I did quite like the Metronomy album that I heard. This is what I wrote about. Note how many times I say 'mark' towards the end:

Metronomy - Nights Out

The name 'Metronomy' used to have some sort of pastiche comedy value amongst certain friends of mine. 'You Could Easily Have Me' seemed the archetypal post-new-rave, Late of the Pier-esque brazen pop tune that failed to excite purely on the basis of wildly hyped electropop synths.

'Nights Out', then, should fail: the PR company-scribed Wikipedia entry lauds it as a 'half-arsed concept about going out and having a crap time", which is generally not a cool thing to say. Maybe the fifth song, 'Heartbreaker', is Enough, with the sub-Klaxons vocals having quite nothing about them, but the whole 'lookit, we have some machine which makes fancy horns sounds' formula is sufficient to warrant a listen to 'The End Of You Too', 'A Thing For Me' or 'My Heart Rate Rapid'. You'll shuffle along to that one like you did to 'Random Firl'. First single 'Radio Ladio' also makes a mark in that it sounds like The Ting Tings over, well, a Metronomy beat. And having a trademark like that is no bad mark.


Also you should see what I wrote about Fujiya & Miyagi (again) (probably not). But basically I ended up listening to 'My Heart Rate Rapid' like 3 times and also then I listened to Prinzhorn Dance School and a song by Love Is All that I think is called 'Busy Doing Nothing'.

Five movie marathon! Nine times the same song!

And then I drifted off into the ether listening to the Milk-Eyed Mender. And another song that is really, really good is 'Woke Up New' by The Mountain Goats, it should probably make you weep.

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
