This is a send-off to my final essay. Now I am free... to enjoy economic despondency.
L.A. Salami - The City Nowadays
This feels a little bit like one of those 'promising new artists' the industry promotes heavily with only a couple of songs, gets to play Jools Holland, and rotates on BBC6 for a couple of months and then fades from view. However, I'm enjoying it before the novelty wears off, and my essay was called 'Post-Urban Space', so....Arcade Fire - Suburban War
This one has not faded away. Revisited the album the other day and was once again awed by how solid it is from beginning to end. So many great songs about post-urban space. Plus a great Dark City-reference:
This town’s so strange, they built it to change
And while we sleep we know the streets get rearranged
PJ Harvey - Reeling
This is what happens when you're cooped up in a room with 15 books for 10 days straight.
I can't sleep for thinking
Set my head a-reeling
Iggy & The Stooges - Gimme Danger
A great song for escaping that room and going out running in the early morning hours. This album is definitely a case of getting what it says on the tin.
Refused - Rather Be Dead
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
