You know how the army makes high-quality tools and clothes for soldiers? Like, most people don't require the quality of most things to be very high because they don't necessarily want to sign on for that one aesthetic. So a diverse marketplace appears, naturally. But still, when you feel an army wallet, or an army belt, you know you're holding something built with the purpose of extended use. This song feels built for extended use, I bet the cd feels like a bathroom tile to hold in your hand. With that same white sheen, too. [Buy from Amazon UK]
In a line, these words step single file, hoods hanging over their faces, out of your computer speakers, and they form a slow circle around you. Things that wear hoods are often kinda scary, you can't see what they're gonna do. But often, you'll find it's usually the silly and geeky who wear the scariest hoods, and only pretend to be a threat. Sometimes in their velvet monk's robe they're carrying a special edition Ghostbusters DVD.
This song is like making a salad with one thing in it. It might be like looking for your keys for 35 minutes. But it's certainly like putting a digital sepia filter on all your personal photos.
And all these things can be alternately pronounced, as can my Christian name, "I like it". [more]

Posted by: floodwatch at December 22, 2006 4:39 PMmost US army uniforms are made in american sweatshops where the people who sew them don't even make minimum wage. so the "army" doesn't make them.
great song though!
