Nostalgia and political frustration, wrapped up in a fist.
Morrissey - The World Is Full of Crashing Bores
The ultimate Moz-song really. Politics, pop-star-bashing, self-pity and defiance, all in one.
It's just more lock-jawed pop-stars
Thicker than pig-shit
Nothing to convey
So scared to show intelligence
It might smear their lovely career
This world – I am afraid – is designed for crashing bores
I am not one
Audrey - We Thought We Were Ghosts, But We Are Feathers
I once had a mighty crush on the drummer in this band. She lived close to me and we went for coffee a couple of times, but nothing more. Then, on the last night of last week's festival I ran into her again, after eight years of no contact. It was a strange, lovely moment, and the next day I dug out this EP and its nostalgic romantic shimmer has never been stronger.
Jonathan Wilson - Future Vision
Another crumb left from the festival. Didn't see him perform this particular tune, but it's got a hazy post-60s feel to it, a fantastic bridge at 2:20, and a prettyy nice guitar solo too.
Björn Afzelius - Valet
ISIS aren't primarily muslims;
they are primarily fascists. The Israeli state isn't first and foremost Jewish; it's first and foremost right-wing. Parties who combine the word democrats with a national prefix rarely rate democracy highly; they most often suffocate it under nationalism and xenophobia. Fight the far Right, before it's too late.
Arcade Fire - Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out)
Best systemfighting bass-riff since RATM.
The power's out, in the heart of man
Take it from your heart, put it in your hand!
