The Great Thread of YouTube Magnificence!

[Low Down Low]

I remember they came along at a time of so-called revival for guitar rock, with Kings of Leon, Bloc Party, Killers etc. I'd say FF were marginally the pick of the bunch.

FF and Bloc Party both got tagged as Gang of Four heirs. I think that made a bit more sense with BP. It was a pretty sweet time for us old fuckers who fetishized post-punk. Like finding a bunch of unreleased records from 1980.

When all those bands appeared, i had a quite irritating habit of saying "yeah, but The X or Y" did the same but better 30 years ago" which used to annoy the hell outta my then gf. She considered me a musical dinosaur and she definitely had a point. Definitely gave me a better handle on appreciating new bands on their own terms, though it still has its limits!

Heh. I was just giddy with a sort of sense of validation that my aged tastes were considered worthwhile by damned young people.

Forty years later, this sounds out of time and fully mesmerizing. So simple but hypnotic.

Well, I had half a bottle of cheap rum and didn’t want to drink it on its own. Lacking any other delivery device, I dumped it in some orange juice (it was that, or almond milk). It all worked out.

I'd never heard of this. It is not good, tho the video is weirdly compelling.
