After much listening, I've yet to be convinced of the worthiness of either of these albums. I pick TV on the Radio, Dear Science, begrudgingly...
TV on the Radio just stress me out. Too many things are happening, and I don't really care. I guess I just don't get the awesomeness.
Frightened Rabbit have a song called Keep Yourself Warm that totally sucks. Sample lyrics below:
"my hole, I'll get my hole, I'll get my hole
Get my hole, get my hole and I'll find out more
It's a choo-choo train, a rocket launch
If we have a hormone race
I'm bound to finish first."
"it takes more than fucking someone you don't know, to keep warm"
This kind of over-sharing is unforgivable. Does he want her to "peg" him? Who cares.
TV on the Radio win because they don't sing overtly about fucking.
I'm so tired...
ReplyDeleteI heard TOTR's new single on the actual radio yesterday. I thought it sounded like mediocre Peter Gabriel...
ReplyDeleteIsn't all Peter Gabriel mediocre? :)
ReplyDeleteNot in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI actually have a soft spot for a few PG tracks: "Sledgehammer", "Big Time", "Digging in the Dirt"...
