petronia

02:39 I do intend to make a real post about my life (election, mother's hospitalization, Toronto) as well as what I've been listening to lately #
02:40 (incl. Laura Marling and Notwist concerts) but tonight I come solely to praise "This Is A Low". #
02:46 Things I will always like: melodramatic Britrock about the night sea (P Wolf does this tons but no one will ever beat Fat Bob at own game). #
02:48 Like Charmian I want to visit some British resort towns out of sheer curiosity to see if they are as depressing as perpetually described. #
02:51 In latitude terms it's equivalent to standing on a beach in Labrador but the Gulf Stream makes temperatures bearable that-side-of-the-pond. #
02:52 (It seems like there ought to be a convenient single Latinate word for that btw, like 'transalpine'. What is pond in Latin?) #
02:53 (I mean you can say 'transatlantic' but you can't say 'cisatlantic' can you so that's no good.) #
02:54 (Stuff in parentheses = whirring constant bgm of my mind, but on twitter for some reason it comes out unabridged) #
02:56 Anyhoo ever since that Babyshambles album I've paid attention to Stephen Street productions but there's mostly nothing to see-- #
03:00 Dude is like one of those writers whose style is completely lucid and flexible for conveying information. No tics or shortcuts visible. #
03:02 TIAL is the only track reminiscent of said album - other way round I guess - and that mostly in terms of arrangement (also it is better). #
03:10 For one thing, the Shambles album markedly did not contain a BADASS EMOCORE POWER BALLAD ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO like "This Is A Low". #
03:14 It rocks out but is also hilarious when one thinks too much about it, much like Graham Coxon himself. #
03:16 (I kind of make fun of my sister for wanting to tap that which is evol but ok srsly Graham Coxon is an Internet Person(tm).) #
03:22 (Note that dude's example leaves one uncertain whether Internet People /should/ become rock stars - it's about fifty-fifty.) #
03:24 Another possible paradigm is that this band formed along moe anime lines and Coxon is the one with glasses and pigtails only w/ no pigtails. #
03:28 Anyhow my point was that I'm feeling positive about the Street/Coxon/Doherty collab on that increasingly less-mythical solo album, #
03:30 though /everyone/ I care about is putting his/her album out early next year, because my petty cash flow concerns mean nothing to them. #
