Maaaaaybe you can throw "Pop Goes the World" by Men Without Hats for some diversity.
And no, diversity is not an old old wooden ship used in the Civil War era.
That's hilarious. I keep watching different people. The guy to the left in the beater is my favorite. Sick step moves and finger movements. So subtle and smooooooth.
Anyone who has seen "Observe and Report" can attest to how awesome, "When I Paint My Masterpiece" is from "Cahoots". I think it could be his finest song. I'll miss the man and am incredibly sad I missed his "Midnight Rambler" shows. R.I.P. You're a legend.
I with you, man. All the hype of Bitte Orca made me bite (derp), but I just really couldn't get into it. Frankly, I found the music really annoying and grating. I do kind of dig the chicks in the band though.
Furthermore, I met Dave Longstreth after a TVOTR show (Dirty Projectors opened for them) and he was a huge dick cheeseburger. I'm not supporting that asshole anymore.
At first, I was Just Let Down regarding your original comment. No Surprises. However, Little by Little, I'm realizing that I Might Be Wrong.........Ummmmm.....let's see.....Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Can?! No?
My point is, who gives a shit if Sleigh Bells is real, fake, formed, up, down, left, or right. I want the actual music to be "deconstructed", not all this bullshit about what the band "should" be or what they "are". You know what they are? A band who uses drum machines to create punishing beats, loud and fuzzy Def Leppardish guitars to create surprisingly pleasent melodies, and a pleasing pop-friendly female voice to bring it all back down to earth.
"Butt rock?" Yikes.
Oh man. I never thought of it as an alarm song. I have been using "Splendor" by M83, "Powa" by tUnE-yArDs, abnd "Lisbon" by The Walkmen. I'm gonna rip you off and ruin Separator also. It seems like the right thing to do.
I might have to call in sick so I can attend the Tuesday, may 29th show in Boston. It's a goal of mine to see them live before they break up or I die.
I really enjoy Separator also, espcially when the subtle sweet guitar enteres at the midway point, but the Codex steady piano trumps it, in my opinion. Perfect for a peaceful night drive.
