I thought I posted this but I guess I just forgot.
Where the hell is a new XX album? WHERE?!?!
This cover is a stupendous reminder that it’s been too long.
tiny little rockets.
Do you like the movie Career Opportunities? So do I. I also like music. That pretty much sums up what's going on here.

This is one of those “this is too good to be true wait did I make that up” covers.
I’m pretty sure Damon Albarn could sing children’s songs with no rhythm at all while telling me simultaneously that he didn’t like Jewish people and I’d still oddly enjoy it.
Just silly good.

I feel like I made this remix up. Like, the equivalent of a teenage girl saying, “OMG WHAT IF BIEBER MADE A SINGLE WITH THE JO BROS!” (but then it happened…)
Sometimes, Four Tet will remix somthing, and it seems like he must have been bored with being “the best” by himself, so he just “the best”s everything else.
I want to go to here.

The xx just came through SF. I’ve never seen a reaction like this, EVEN from the oh-so-judgmental SF crowd.
I was excited when I saw they were opening for Friendly Fires. Really excited. And considering Friendly Fires to me are the equivalent of what Santa must be to an eight year old child, that’s a lot of excited.
Absurdly good live. I mean, everything you’d think. Just kind of…creepy sexual yet really family like. See what I did there? I creeped you out with that thought process. But they just have this 1980’s sound that’s kind of Morrissey-ish. You know, the whole, “oh my god I’m depressed but holy shit i thought up this AMAZING melody to go along with my depression”. And the funny thing is…almost EVERYONE at the show left after their show. Which, while I was like the angry girlfriend in the crowd pissed that no one stayed to see my boyfriend’s show…was also kind of cool to see. Because I think that means a band is getting what they deserve when buzz is this big. So high five, depressed one’s, you made it! And I hope you come back to SF soon. Just stop fuckin’ up the Friendly Fire’s happiness on stage by sending all the fans home early: they looked like dad missed their soccer game.
Oddly, this was a song the venue’s DJ played after The xx left the stage. And I remember thinking (and by “remember” I mean, “no I don’t but I heard this today and think maybe I heard this after they left the stage”) that this was an absurdly great cover of ANOTHER band that deserves to blow up.
This is The xx remixing/covering Florence & The Machine’s “You’ve Got The Love”. Nice way to go into Thanksgiving. That chorus loop…hoo-effing-rah it’s good.
