New Bloc Party Single: Flux

Don't front. I think I'm going to officially let BP take over as my current favorite band.
My all time favorite will probably remain a toss between Joy Division or New Order. Enjoy.

I hate New Order

It's like having a friend that's always right, listening to New Order. At any rate, I'm pondering this year in review so far, and this song will be on the soundtrack, for sure. Of course, this goes out to JSH. "if you give it all away..." Brilliant.

New order The perfect kiss


I stood there beside myself,
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start:
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, you believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love

I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home,
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange,
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love

When you are alone at night
You search yourself for all the things
That you believe are right
If you give it all away
You throw away your only chance to be here today
Then a fight breaks out on your street
You lose another broken heart in a land of meat
My friend, he took his final breath
Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death

Album of the week Many weeks: Technique by New Order

Holy moly. I know that it's silly to say that an album can change someone's life, so I won't say that. But this album, in it's entirety, has stayed with me more than any. I am THE New Order fan. I have it all, vinyl, cd's, videos, all of it. Technique is the perfect New Order album, hands down. I dare say that New Order hasn't been New Order since this recording. Get it here.
