Procrastination..
Follow-up to My Top Three from 1 in a million, 2 is a crowd, 3 is company, 4's not allowed
As I pretend to revise Stanislavski;s role in the Rise of the Director I listen to:
Alas Agnes - The Mystery Jets
Awesome band from my local area who've suported British Sea Power, Bloc Party and The Futureheads
They also sung to me once
Arcade Fire - No Car's Go
Uplifting track of thier early EP from the best band of this year (bar Maximo Park)
Truely astonishing album (Funeral), and this one ain't half bad neither
The White Stripes - Take Take Take
Described by NME as a bluegrass Stan, this is a song off their new LP about Rita Hayworth from the point of view of a besotted fan. Jack White has excelled himself lyrically and musically on this track, a trend that is the case right through Get Behind Me Satan. Apparently Jack White got married yesterday which seems curious in light of the bitter, lonesome feel to the album....hard to know what to believe though when its being billed as his first marriage
