Acid Casuals - Bowl Me Over
This just saved my day a bit.
Now I can go to bed and fall asleep with beautiful Welsh pop in my head.
Sorry for all the postings.
I love music.

I'm off to university, this is just one of these *squee* posts when you love something so much that you want to run around telling everyone to do the same.
And when I listen to this band I often feel the need to just express my love, but right now Im at my laptop so I can(!) and I just redownloaded this one live session and put on "Rocket" and oh my God :
Working For A Nuclear Free City are officially one of the best bands on this planet and if they would split up now and not release a second album then they'd have one of the most perfect discographies ever because:
This thing my friends is the best record of the past five years (minimum) I know I said that last year, too, but it's still so true!
Pitchfork actually didnt get it so wrong this time (thogh 7.6 is way to low. Its a clear 10 for me, though that would have scared me).
" Like early Roses or Screamadelica-era Primal Scream, WfaNFC purvey a druggy amalgam of rave, rock, and pop, generous with block-rockin' breakbeats, full-body bass grooves, and crystalline dream-pop comedowns. The blissed-out guitar drones of shoegazers like Slowdive strobe-light the fog-machine air. Throw in vintage Lou Reed and you'd haveTrainspotting 2006: Choose Waking Life."
Yes, you can hear influences, very much so but I know no band that sounds like them. I know no band where I love every single song, where that makes me feel so carefree and melancholic at the same time, that says life is beautiful because it's bleak.
And no, I dont love them simply because they're from Manchester and because they randomly sent me a "thanks for your support" message when i never contacted them or anything. It just adds to it.
Im just listening to the interview and apart from the accent (*squee*) I love how he goes "Nobody likes us in the UK, we'll play a gig in Manchester and there'll be like 10 people. They all listen to guy with haircuts, seriously. In the US it's been incredible".
Ps: silly pitchfork review though... "Yeah, but what's that in the water? If it's not the bomb, then it's love that will tear us apart."
Eh, whats exactly your point except wanting to cram Joy Division and Smiths lines in there?
This.
This is what makes me want to go and see a good and proper liveband again. Maybe its the headphones I'm wearing but more likely it's the band's energy there.
Or the lack of good concerts. This is what I freaking wanna see, what I miss in the music scene... I cant even put my finger on it. Uh.
Watching this after four hours of studying for Norwegian, just marking vocab and stuff like that, I started wondering again why I love language so much, as I never seem to want to learn it for an actual "sensible" reason besides wanting to.
Then watching this sketch confuddled me (see, gosh, what a word, how do I get things like this into my vocabulary but hardly ever get to to actually verbally talk in that language!)
I know, everybody and everybody's third dead horse has said it but: I love Fry sooooo much.
