You're hilarious. The title. That conversation. That is how I imagine any conversation of mine would go with anyone I remotely admire. This list of people includes my mom, and, yes, the scenario is still being imagined. You did well. That's perfect. I wouldn't even be able to use my words.<br /><br />ANYWAY-- my opinion that doesn't really matter is as follows: I was all giddy when I found myself sitting up in bed last night at, like, 2AM, staring Julian right in his beady, twitter eyes. Angles. Streaming Now. Immediately click hyperlink. I was overtaken by squirminess right before clicking play, though, because I think I was nervous. Cursor hovering over play, I thought of Under Cover of Darkness and was reminded of that sort of hollow feeling I got when I first heard it with my ears pressed against the speakers of my radio (Yeah, the radio. The internet imploded that day). What if I was let down by the entire album, what if I had been OVER HYPING Angles to anyone who would listen, etc. I liked the double tracked vocals on the single, but it did sound watery, you're right, and I was underwhelmed by it. Plus, when it came around, I laughed throughout the music video as well, and I didn't think that was a good sign.<br /><br />I shook my temporary fear and listened, though. A few times. I feel good about it. I don't feel painstaking joy in the depths of my cold heart-- other music has affected me more profoundly-- but I am happy. The album feels right because The Strokes are doing what they do best-- they're doing what the fuck they want. So it's ten tracks. So it's five years later than a million people would want. So it's not a record full of Somedays or Last Nites. They didn't submit to anybody, they did what they want. That's what I love them for, so I feel happy about it.<br /><br />ANYWAY. I just WROTE WAY TOO MUCH OF WHAT YOU SAID YOU HATED, BASICALLY. Imagine I'm apologizing in equal length. It's just pent up luvin' I needed to express. I imagine I'm getting plenty of eye rolls, so I'm going to go download your new playlist and stop talking about things for a few days, bye.mjunokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609742081595322359noreply@blogger.com
