"Sleeper" is extraordinarily good

"Another Clockwork Day"'s opening guitar line is Dire Straits' "News" run through Slint

these are my thoughts so far

Sleeper is one of their best story-songs ever.



Also, does Moffat kinda sound a bit sexy when he goes "the feeling's kinda sexy" on that last track for anyone else?

Another cup of tea hmm. Or maybe coffee? Is Lana's new album gonna let me down? Why do I collect so much belly fluff?



The essence of my thoughts so far today.

Given the Nick Cave dig and this rating I am not at all surprised.

kebabylon is the biggest grower on here for me - i wasn't necessarily super fond of it because it borders on cheesy



but then it grew, and it still borders on cheesy but in a good kinda way



sifting through the streets of Kebabylon

chasing down the ghosts of indiscretion and lust

these empty, filthy streets are where I belong

down among the devilry, down in the dust

it took knowing the lyrics and theme of kebabylon before I realised its greatness yes but now I thoroughly look forward to its place in the tracklisting
