Off the new Ladytron, Witching Hour. It's not quite the single "Destroy Everything You Touch" is, but will still blow your brains out nonetheless. It's def. a 6.1ish track; however in Dave's book, may log a 7,000. Or not. One of the two.

Ladytron- All The Way

So I had a fairly quiet evening indoors tonight, which consisted of me munching on cheetos and re-watching Lost in Translation for the umpteenth time. Two things strike me every time I view this film: 1) Scarlett Johansson will be my wife, and 2) Death in Vegas's "Girls" is a neo-shoegaze classic. It's no secret that Sofia Coppola has fantastic music taste; kudos to her for choosing this blissful, soaring, swelling, absolute gem of a song.

After 10 years of bickering and separation, Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler (formerly of Suede fame) have reunited and formed The Tears. "Refugees" is an epic romantic anthem, recalling the tragic hopes and fears of fellow Brits Morrissey and Jarvis Cocker. As Anderson sings "Let's take to the streets / You and I we're life's refugees / But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free / Don't say there's nothing between us," one can't help but pull for these characters, and root for the survival of these youthful ideals.

Arlington Heights had The Screaming Weasels. Wilmette has Fallout Boy. Zion has Local H. Now Northbrook has Sergie Grebischnikov. Sergie's debut album, The Great Society, is a lo-fi guitar-based album, which dabbles in electronics and vocal sampling. He accompanies his delicate guitar work, being well-versed in classical and jazz, with subtle layers of sound. "Fly Away" is the lovliest of the bunch, and this deserves to be heard.
