Glow Kit - “Chance On Me” (from Glow Kit)

Power pop from Denmark. Enjoying this album today.

I wrote about a few things in the past couple weeks:

  • K-Holes’ Dismania for Pitchfork
  • Joey Ramone’s …ya know? and Johnny Ramone’s Commando for Aux. Out.
  • King Tuff and Heavy Blanket’s respective self-titled albums for MTV Hive
  • OFF!’s OFF! for eMusic

I need more Jai Paul.

I can’t eat beans anymore. I’m not clear on why, but in the past year, any time I’ve eaten a legume (including anything soy-based), I’ve felt awful. I’m not complaining— I’ve adjusted my diet and I’ve been fine for the most part. Today, however, the only lunch option in my house is a can of black beans, some taco shells, some nice salsa, and shredded monterey jack. It’s basically the equivalent of somebody saying, “Yes, you can eat one of your favorite meals for lunch, but then I’m going to punch you really hard in the stomach as soon as you’re done.” And no, I will not eat a salsa and cheese taco, because that prospect is far too depressing.

"… We need to start participating in the bigger picture because this whole ecology of our world is going to start collapsing in the next 50 years, and if there’s going to be a validity to anything, in 50 years’ time just like the way they were, people are going to be asking what the kids of today are thinking, what the artists of today were thinking. Were they just checking out? Were they just, like, hugging a couple of cuddly bears or feel-good pillows? What is the point of music at this point? Is it just a beer swill at Coachella? Is it a few sensitive guys getting up there having a circle jerk while all the girls and all the other people have to sit around and try and find their experience within their opaque song styling? We could be participating, and that’s what I aspire to do, and so I wanted to create a vivid festival that had some teeth to it."
