Seasons Pass

Autumn slowly approaches. The leaves are changing colours, the sun is setting earlier, and I have the penchant to listen to more "wintery" music, such as the likes of Interpol. 

"It's way too late to be this locked inside ourselves
The trouble is that you're in love with someone else
It should be me. Oh, it should be me
Sacred parts, your get aways
You come along on summer days
Tenderly, tastefully

And so may, we make time
Try to find somebody else
This place is mine

You said today, you know exactly how I feel
I had my doubts little girl
I'm in love with something real
It could be me, that's changing!

And so may, we make time
To try and find somebody else
Who has a line

Now season with health
Two lovers walk a lakeside mile
Try pleasing with stealth, rodeo
See what stands long ending fast

Oh, how I love you
And in the evening, when we are sleeping
We are sleeping. Oh, we are sleeping

And so may, we make time
We try to find somebody else
Who has a line

Now season with health
Two lovers walk a lakeside mile
Try pleasing with stealth, rodeo
See what stands long ending fast."

Long Nights, Red Wine

There is something about this band that really caputures me. I saw an ad for their first album in Rolling Stone in 2006. I went and bought the album and fucking loved it.

The vocals are creepily sexy in a non Marilyn Manson way. More like Paul Banks from Interpol blended with some Bravery and Julian Casablancas. The music is edgy and dark but still dancey. All the songs are about sex, love and clubs, which fits perfectly with the music.

When I hear She Wants Revenge, I want to prowl around a club in heels, clutching a glass of wine, and dance. This band is all about atmosphere and I really can't describe it anymore other than what the above video captures.

Hand In Glove

The 90's upbringing. Awesome cartoons like Inspector Gadget, Dunkaroo's and Pogs. Although, being a 90's child does have it's drawbacks, like missing out on crucial 80's music. Since I am technically a 90's child, I am late on experiencing the Smiths. I wish it wasn't so.

The Smiths bring that slowly drowning in your own pool of sorrow sound that I like. It's most likely the vocals that bring the effect. The Smiths was the time period when Morrissey was an attractive piece.

My friend says that when she listens to the Smiths, especially the track "Hand in Glove" she feels like suffocating herself in her pillow. That's intense, but that's what the music brings up; intense emotions and tears. I relate The Smiths to Interpol, not sound wise, but rather for the fact that when I hear the music, I imagine dying to that particular track. It's odd to imagine, not suicidal, but romantic. I guess I'm a hopeless romantic...

You Want a Piece of Me?

First off, I can truly express how much distaste for I have for Megan Fox being on the cover of the Rolling Stone. Second, what she says in the article is totally bullshit. I suggest to avoid reading it at all costs.

To top it off, I really like what she has to say about flying in airplanes. Apparently Megan is afraid to fly so she listens to Britney Spears on the plane. Her reasoning is that "You are not going to die listening to Britney Spears."

I don't think this is necessarily true, but I would think that it would be horrendously cruel for God to let someone die listening to Britney.

In the past, I would sometimes ask people what music or song they would like to listen to while they die. Various answers ensued. My answer five years ago was "Hello goodbye" by the Beatles. I don't discount this choice, but I have changed my mind.

Lately I've been thinking that while I pass on I would like to listen to the sweet disintegrating sounds of Interpol. That would be oddly beautiful and cynical. Perhaps to "Obstacle 2" or "Narc". Dying to Britney would definitely be ironic, especially to "Toxic" or "Piece of Me".

How Are Things On the West Coast? They Are Just Fine.
