I might start using this as some sort of blog again, or something. I might actually start a proper blog one day, but for now this will do.
I've just listened to a song on Spotify, We Are Gonna Be Friends. Frankly, I'm disgusted. Don't get me wrong at all, this isn't a dig at Bright Eyes (last time I checked, it wasn't still 2005), just check my charts. I actually believe that The People's Key is one of the best, and perhaps most underrated, albums of 2011. The problem with this song is its origin. For those that don't know, it is a cover of a song by The White Stripes.
When I was 14, I asked for White Blood Cells for Christmas from my parents, they duly obliged. I must have spent 4/5/6 months listening to nothing but this album, every single day. On a couple of occasions I even took it to school with me. Every single track on the album became familiar, I still remember the highlights:
The Union Forever, Now Mary, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground.
