Breakups are usually always reaction-provoking. Even when it happens to someone you don't really even know. If someone's telling you that x has broken up with y and you couldn't really be too fussed about it, you still try to feign a reaction. Sometimes however you genuinely do care. During the last couple of weeks a few people I know and a few more people I don't know have gone through the whole break-up process leading me to the conclusion that the time of summer flings must now-a-bouts be officially over. If it were just summer flings that were ending now, it would be all fine (in a way), but there's also doing it that have been together for pretty much forever. Is that the way we work as social individuals? Winter comes 'a knocking and everyone gets the urge to start a solo-hibernation?
If you couldn't be arsed reading that long a text then I handily rustled up an awesome painting of the above paragraph for your convenience.
You're welcome
The same applies to bands and music and the likes. You can get attached to a band or a genre, and when the band breaks up/ genre fizzes out, it can be like coming out of a meaningful relationship the hard way. One you'll never have back. At least not in the same kind of way.
I had high hopes for Reina Del Camino. I had dreams for them. But they went and cruched all my hopes and dreams. Now all I can say is RIP RDC. May you fovever rock on in our (my) memories.
Today I did the possibly most street-cred thing in the world: I baked cinnamon rolls. They turned out good. I ate a few I came. I saw. I conquered. "'Nuff sed"
After stuffing myself with doughey goodness I felt physically sick and after getting home haven't actually moved since. (this happened many an hour ago...)
So illness is a perfect excuse to "do the blog" and with this in mind I bring thee:
The Brooklyn-based quartet have captured a perfect mixture of "surf" and 'Shadows' style guitar playing making me yearn more and more for the summer. I could easily get slated for this but it wouldn't be too hard to imagine 'Sleep to Dream' playing in the background of a Quentin Tarantino film.
'Throw it Away' is a lovely instrumental featuring tidy guitar work over some less-than-subtle beatboxing. Nevertheless loads of fun!
But of their Myspace songs 'Beg For It' is the one that really does it for me. The song has such a driving force it begs to be played on repeat over and over. I really do hope the summer is swift in it's arrival.
Alas, myspace is all they have to offer for now but I'm told that Reina del Camino are hitting the studio in March so I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for new material. You should too. Don't be a stranger
Ooh I especially love the 'Curly Hair' song. Here's the video from the christmas party I was at in Brighton. If you were to be some sort of superman videoclip-turning-man and twist the picture to the immediate left then you'd see me there with a stupid grin on my smug face. Nice.
Flatmate K looks like this according to his own words. Believe in nothing.
