Pledge allegiance to the sun

I'm trying to put together a review of "Congratulations" so that'll be up soon. In the meantime, here's this gem. side note: wow this video is not at all what i saw in my head. what i saw is in the flickr photos which is why i put that part of each post together before i watch the music video.



Flash Delerium - MGMT

Mild apprehension
Blank dreams of the coming fun
Distort the odds of a turnaround
Gut screams out next to none
So turn it on
Tune it in
And stay inert
You say "I've got the backbone,
The back way to escape the gun"
Climbing a tree with a missing limb
And not saving anyone
And now it hurts
To stay at home
And see
Flash
The mirror ball's throwing mold
You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt
And if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt


Splish Splash, originally uploaded by Tilla Pe.



Plants
As far as I know are still,
Still bending toward the light
And if we dance
Until the heart explodes
It'll make this place ignite
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just
A case of Flash delirium

Here's a growing culture
Deep inside a corpse
Ages stuck together
Takin it to the source
Timeless desperation
Pictures on a screen scream
"hey people, what does it mean?"



Comfort keeps us nice
So quick to donate everything (nothing arrives)
Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling (einkreisen)
And time's tingling spines
Attaching hands to floor
The rosy-tinted flash

The hot dog's getting cold
And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones
Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt
Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt

(Why close one eye and try to
Pledge allegiance to the sun
When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone
Geometric troops aligning
Carried up to the burial mounds
My earthbound heart is heavy
Your heartbeat keeps things light
With the violence forever threatening the night
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust)
Lines when I close my eyes and just
Aim blindly at the sun
And hear love
When the ghosts start singing terrorizing everyone
Geometric troops aligning
Carried up to the burial mounds with gold
It's a heavy load but your
You rhythm makes it light and explode
Like a violent star keeps threatening the night
And even if this hall collapses
I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust
That our heads won't bust

Undercooked
Overdone
Mass adulation not so funny
Poisoned honey
Pseudo science
Silly money
You're my honey

Gang Gang Dance concert review

When last.fm recommended Gang Gang Dance to me, I got a bunch of their stuff but didn't play it except for "House Jam" when it came on on shuffle and I dug it. I saw them live at Hampshire College last night and they were awesome. They started off by handing out bottles of sparkling cider (yum! perfect for cotton mouth) and played a great, somewhat short set. Remember in elementary school when they had those rainbow parachutes with the handles? One of those made it's way over the crowd at some point prompting even more frenzied dancing. It was all-in-all a great experience I'd love to go see them again. I got a t-shirt and asked Liz, the vocalist, to sign it. Dorky, I know, but I think it's a score I mean when they perform in nyc next weekend it'll probably be way too mobbed for a quick "you guys are awesome" chat. Yes, they will be in New York this thursday the 22nd at music hall of williamsburg and the next night, friday the 23rd at terminal 5 with hot chip which is, of course, sold out. I'd totally go see them again I hope they play in new york more this summer which they probably will cause that's where they're from. Will definitely listen to them more now and you should too!



House Jam - Gang Gang Dance

One with the light shined on them
How quickly the glimmer fades
Spread spreading out my stone wings
While I, I become the storm

The finest marble
Like a raven heading for the sun
Spread spreading out my stone wings
While I, I become the storm

Forth from the river with the yellow tide
Don't get toothed at the cliffs
I'm sad, sad about something
And there's no soul left to grate
Feels like overstaying
A welcome that has been denied
Take me to the opium benign
Where the light took time

Steamrollers paved over life
All i can say is what a pin it's been

Will the clouds carry my tears to you
Carry my tears to you
Carry my tears

Will the clouds carry my tears to you
Carry my tears to you
Carry my tears

something good can work and it can work for you

got this track thanks to my homies over at YOUCANTSTOPAH they have a free download here. It's perfect for spring just a happy upbeat track. Hopefully it can help get me through my homework.



Something Good Can Work (The Twelves Remix) - Two Door Cinema Club

There's a spanner in the works, you know
you gotta step up your game to make to the top so go
Gotta little competition now
you're going to find it hard to cope with living on your own, oh-oh, oh-oh
Took a little time to make it a little better,
it's only going up, just one thing and another, you know, you know
It took a little time to make it a little better,
it's only going up, just one thing and another, you know, you know

you've got to open up your heart and feel

Midnight Juggernauts have a new album coming out May 28th aka my last day of being 20. Of course Dystopia was awesome so I can't wait to see what's in store on their sophomore album. "Vital Signs" is for sure dope, to use sophisticated terminology lol. anyway, i am very dissatisfied with my interpretation of these lyrics cause the all-important chorus is hard to figure out. guess i'll find out what it really is when other people start posting lyrics but for now it's only me. if you wanna help me out, please leave a comment. anyway, went to nyc this weekend and it was fun. my friend ken is going to process 60 rolls of film for me and do contact sheets. now that's friendship. i cant wait to see what's in there some of those rolls i shot over a year ago, as i said in an earlier post. still tryna figure out my summer but it looks like i am going to bonnaroo =D anyways check the new midnight juggernauts

UPDATE: this is available for free download on rcrdlbl!



Vital Signs - Midnight Juggernauts

You'll always try
to hide in the night
and blink at the door
You'd let it go
though you'll never know
when it all may be gone
we close our heart
we shut down our world
to rumors you know
Tore down the shield
your future reveals
where the feel's yet to go

You've gotta open up your mind and feel the love in your life
You've got to open up your heart feel the love in your life
You've gotta open up your mind and feel the love in your life
You've got to open up your heart feel the love in your life
love in your life

they won't decide
watch time glassing by
then float away
you cant get ill
just typewrite on in
to the rows we could play
dissatisfied
you always have tried
to divert with goodbyes
though what you seek
who knows it could be
right in front of your eyes

You've gotta open up your mind and feel the love in your life
You've got to open up your heart feel the love in your life
You've gotta open up your mind and feel the love in your life
You've got to open up your heart feel the love in your life
love in your life

aaaah awesome summer concerts!

there's no better motivation to survive finals than a summer full of kickass music. i'm contemplating bonnaroo if i can find people willing to road trip it with me. here's what's planned for nyc so far:

June 17 - Neon Indian at the music hall of williamsburg. i have been dying to see them live seriously psychic chasms is one of my favorite albums of all time. if i go to bonnaroo i'll get to see them twice in one week. crazy. ON SALE FRIDAY
June 21 - Goldfrapp at hammerstein ballroom. eh, goldfrapp is cool but not a top priority. right now i have to prioritize due to cash flow issues. it's $42.50. her new album is solid i've just always found her a little too pop-y. ON SALE FRIDAY
June 30 - Passion Pit and Tokyo Police Club at governor's island. i just saw passion pit like the other month so i'm def not going to this. they were ok live honestly i preferred their recorded stuff. also there were huge amounts of teenyboppers which, to me at least, detracts from the experience. $40. ON SALE NOW
July 24 - M.I.A. on governors island. i already saw m.i.a. in concert last year and it was great so i'm not so eager to go again so soon especially to governors island cause then you have that ferry and the whole thing is $60. ouch. if you're interested, though, she's good live. looks like ninjasonik and some other artists will be there too. ON SALE NOW
July 28 - The Black Keys at the central park summer stage. $35 so i gotta save up cause of all the other tickets i'm buying and cause they're not a tip-top priority but yeah i bet theyre awesome live and their show for the day before (July 27th) already sold out. Also, they'll be at bonnaroo if i can go. ON SALE NOW
August 4 - HOT CHIP with Hercules and Love Affair AND Holy Ghost! at the central park summer stage. $35 just bought my ticket i am so obsessed their new album is awesome! Now who's coming with? And Hercules and Love Affair and Holy Ghost are hotness and will surely bring their own fans =) ON SALE NOW
August 21 - Crystal Castles at terminal 5 AAAAH i'm SO excited. c'mon it's crystal fucking castles!! bummer it's so expensive looks like it's $45. I predict this concert will sell out faster than you can blink. ON SALE FRIDAY

i have my phone programmed to remind me when to buy the neon indian and crystal castles tickets. is anyone else as excited as i am? are there any missing from the list? let me know
