Play, Rewind and Repeat

I finished up Phoenix yesterday but not without an interesting twist. For the first time since an unintentional mistake back during Beck (I had to re-listen to two albums since I listened to them in the wrong order) I actually decided to go back and re-listen to several songs multiple times. The songs were from Phoenix's new EP, I listened to 1901 and Lisztomania about 7 times each before deciding I better move on. Both are good songs but Lisztomania is amazing. Definitely worth checking out if you like good music.

I also finished Portishead, The Postal Service and Prodigy this morning. Prodigy got me running like a gazelle at the gym this morning. Nothing like "Smack My Bitch Up" and "Firestarter" to get you going in the morning. That was much better than December when I got stuck on Frank Sinantra when lifting weights. That was horrible.

Portishead is scary and makes me feel dirty. That and every song sounds like a James Bond theme song.

The Postal Service's album "Give Up" is amazing and definitely friendly enough for any music fan and of course those who like Death Cab. The best songs are "The District Sleeps Alone tonight" and "Such Great Heights".

Lastly I did have a nice surprise with Positive K and "I Gotta Man". Hilarious song.

  1. Glad to see that you finally admit to the awesomeness of The Postal Service. I forget where you stand on Death Cab, however.

    The new Phoenix is awesome...

  2. I'm still not a huge fan of Death Cab. I think as a whole Postal Service is just tighter.
