Skywhale!

My family is obsessed with that show Wipeout. And every time it's on, without fail, I'll hear my aunt Teresa in the other room alternating between laughing hysterically and saying things like, "oh god!". It always puts a smile on my face and I think it's even better than watching the show.  I love my aunt Terri's laugh. C:

Born Ruffians.

I’ve got Katlyn to thank for this one. Riding around with her in Irvine on some of my visits during the school year, I was certain to hear them come up on her iPod. Upon first hearing them I thought, “Hey, this is pretty catchy stuff.” Once I finally got around to downloading them, it became incredibly catchy stuff. Their music is no-nonsense jumpy rock; stuff that happily forces you to at the very least tap your feet and more often than not make you bounce your entire body around. Damn I love these guys.

That doesn’t really isn’t fair to Electrelane, though, as they really are their own band. Their album No Shouts, No Calls has been in heavy rotation with me as of late. A lot of their music is purely instrumental, and those songs that are simply aren’t as good as the rest. A good instrumental song doesn’t need any vocals to lift the song up (Explosions in the Sky comes to mind), but the instrumental Electrelane songs sound just sound like normal tracks without any vocals. Does that make sense? It seems pretty nonsensical to me, but whatever. Electrelane is still a really great band.

By the by, If you'd like to listen to one of their songs, peep my Tumblr!

"You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole."


OH GROSS! I'M GONNA BE FUCKIN' SICK.
