For all those romantic souls out there.
For all those romantic souls out there.
Last summer, I was treated to no less than 3 live performances of this song. Dinosaur Jr., and AFI did admirable jobs, but seeing The Cure perform it was really something else.
Now I’m no mathematician, but if this song came on at a wedding, I’m pretty sure around 76% of the old couples slow dancing to it would end up getting lucky that night.
Songs like this are the reason why I got so into Rock Band on the PS3. Outside of iTunes and the radio, I can’t think of anything else that’s introduced me to as many new bands and artists.
Over the years, I just keep coming back to this album. Very few acts before or since have managed to strike that perfect balance between electronic engineering, and the playing of physical instruments.
Throw in some solid harmonies and you’ve got music that while intricately engineered, still comes off sounding sincere and genuine.
I was skateboarding down the waterfront when this song came on the iPod. And just like that, I felt more like a high school student than when I was in high school.
(I didn’t really attempt to skateboard until I was 25)
Today’s election day in Ontario, so get out there and vote.
Take some time to see what each local candidate’s done, what they’re planning to do, and what the heads of their parties have said and done. Pick the best choice, and make your opinion count. Don’t just blindly vote for some party because it’s an easy way to go.
If you don’t exercise your right to take part in the decision making process, you lose the right to complain about the outcome. So head to your local polling station, and put that number 2 pencil to use.
I’m a firm believer that modern rock could use a few more horn sections.
Music to strut to.
If you don’t have the 90 minutes to watch the Ninja Turtles movie, this song’ll do in a pinch.
