The Vaccines - Somebody Else's Child

Artist: The Vaccines
Song: Somebody Else's Child
Album: What Did You Expect From The Vaccines
Year: 2011

"I'm alright, why'd you ask? I'm uptight, I guess, let it pass, I've never had much in common with you..."

*A QUICK "CONCERN": I have never quite understood the reason of placing the hidden songs along with the 'shown' final song (or any other song for that matter) on the same track. Why splicing songs? What if I want to listen to the second one? I will have to listen to the first one and then listen to the silence for a minute or so or to keep on pressing the forward button until I reach the song... When I record an album I will place the hidden song, if any, on a separate track...

Cold War Kids - Dreams Old Men Dream

Artist: Cold War Kids

Song: Dreams Old Men Dream

Album: Loyalty to Loyalty

Year: 2008

"Thought I was writing for a hundred hours, looking straight into me but I was reading on the newspaper obituaries..."

"Thought I was nervous like a mailman, reading your letters, dear, but I was at our anniversary, toasting 30 years..."

*A DREAM REPORT: Today I had two of the weirdest dreams, well, two I can actually remember... Independent dreams, I mean, different scenarios...

1.- I wound up at the end of a dark and creepy park, and there was a church there, I went in and there was nobody inside, in fact it looked like it had been abandoned for a while now, as I was wandering, I could see there were clothes scattered in some parts of the church, clothes that once belonged to me when I was younger, a fact that I found extremely weird. Anyhow, as I kept on walking inside the church I reached a very dark and dusty place and suddenly I found myself lying on the floor and I saw 'Death', you know the one with a hooded robe and a scythe, and out of nowhere she/it tried to hit me with its scythe and again, all of the sudden I had a scythe too, and still lying on the floor, I blocked its blow with my mysteriously acquired new tool...

2.- I was in this huge park and there was some kind of festival or celebration, go figure, but it seemed I had to meet someone as I kept on walking through this path while there was a match of football on the side of it... I bumped into the boyfriend of a girl I happen to like, let's call him Kermit the Frog, I guess we shared a few words, then the girl arrived and as she did, the sky started to become cloudy, but I couldn't help to notice the clouds moved so impressively, almost mesmerizing... Anyhow when I snapped out of the movement of the clouds I looked down again, and as I did they started getting affectionate and started to kiss right in front of me, so I WTFed and decided to leave unexpectedly, needless to say, a bit confused. On my way out I saw a not so pleasant schoolmate I had in elementary & middle school who didn't even bother to wave his hand  and I don't know why but that shook me a bit more, I was disgruntled...

And there you go! Your always trustworthy dream report...

Two Door Cinema Club - Sun

Artist: Two Door Cinema Club

Song: Sun

Album: Beacon

Year: 2012

"Drawn apart, New York and London, all I see now are distant drumlins the roads I knew became a city and I wonder, will you wait for me?"

"Over and over, many setting suns, I have run, I have waited for the rain to come when through that mist I see the shape of you and I know, and I know that I'm in love with you..."

*A COMMENT: I have listened to this album a few time now, so I think I can issue my review. I liked it, it is a good one, they kept their ability to produce nice & melodic riffs and choruses, but I have to be honest here, it did not meet my perhaps high & demanding expectations... Somehow it lacks the spark and the liveliness that made 'Tourist History' so easy to love, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I did not like the songs, neither that they all have to be energetic as hell, but even the more down-tempo songs didn't manage to give me a skin orgasm/goosebumps... Anyhow, here is the song that stands out from the others, and who knows, maybe the album will grow on me...

*A COMMENT: This song comes from the 'If Not Now When? Sessions' and it is an UK B-Side... but if you purchase a copy of the 'HQ Live' at Best Buy it comes with a bonus CD which contains 3 B-sides (including this one) and 2 live performances... It was a sweet deal, 2 live Cd's, 1 DVD and a bonus CD of my favorite band... Anyhow, enjoy this sexy song...

Hot Chip - Look At Where We Are

Artist: Hot Chip

Song: Look At Where We Are

Album: In Our Heads

Year: 2012

"A memory tells us that we're blessed but opening up this chest I discovered that a heart is lame, falling behind what we guess but trying to do our best... Do we stop, do we stop in frame? Won't you come back to my heart? There's something I'm trying to say, would you call my name?"

*A COMMENT: So, not an hour ago I was listening to this CD, and when this song is  about to play I decided it was a good idea to check my mail... I found this e-mail and now I'm taken aback by it... I read it with this as background, so I guess I could say I had one of those 'movie-like' moments, with this as soundtrack, I've always been fascinated with these coincidences, the title says it all, so ad hoc... 

Anyway... I appreciate the gesture, I do. I will reply, that's a fact, but I don't know when, so, if you see this first you know the reason. I need to give myself some time to arrange my feelings, I need to know exactly what they are now, I need to think my words as well. However, it seems that, by this moment, the idea of me making a move or hoping for something would be a nonsense, but no, I'm not angry nor do I feel hate towards you...
