you know when you’ve had a good week?…when you can list 10 things that lifted you from moderately dismal to happier than a pig in shit…happens every now and then…and i feel it me duty to report on such findings…it reaffirms my believe in the soul you see…it entertains you…entrances and enriches you…fills yer whim bag up to the brim and sends on you on your merry-adventuring-ass way…and right now thats what yer good Friends Class of 1984 be doing…giving praise for the thingies of interest that have been bestowed upon us this past week…some have been around for quite a while and we are rediscovering them yet again…thats the beauty of it all…even if youve drank from these same cups before there will always come a time to drink and be merry again…so without further ado
1. Primary Colours – The Horrors
despite what your gran said, The Horrors arnt a troupe of twigs wearing black body condoms..theyre actually pretty darn good as this album demonstrates…forget the naysayers…this reminds me of My Bloody Valentine crossed with Jesus and Mary chain…
2. Drag Me To Hell
well low and behold!..we can still have fun at the cinema?..yes…with something of artistic merit?…yes?..well blow me down..this will play best off a worn VHS to the soundtrack by Alice Cooper..complete with cheap effects and minted makeup…stay away from spiders Raimi
3. 4. 5. Surfer Rosa/Doolittle/Bossanova – Pixies
whats to say really? its unlikely the heights that Frank Black and co. reached will ever be reached again by any terrestrial being…amazing….excluding Trompe Le Monde because..well Im not sure it belongs here right now
Curb Your Enthusiasm/Black Books
I just love shows about self-centered, begrudging, misanthropic old misers…and who better than the king of them all Larry David…and we cant exclude Bernard Black…why was Black Books discontinued again?..damn you system!
It – Stephen King
having braved the TV movie (Tim Currey makes for a fucked up Pennywise..arnt clowns meant to make you laugh?) I finally jumped into the gargantuan book…sick cookies abound but great piece of writing
Daydream Nation – Sonic Youth
does this sound simple? Fuck you!
Are you for sale?
Does ‘Fuck you’ sound simple enough?
The Crying Light – Antony and the Johnsons
I must admit a soft spot for the 6’4” transvestite with voice of angel…not as direct as I Am a Bird Now…but every bit as beautiful
