Now that I've got your attention:
I'll bring you up to date. i recently decided to be my own Corporation. I thought: Damnit! if a Corporation can have the same rights as me, I ought to have the same rights as millions of different minds. Right?
I wanna apply this to my own life. (Also, it shouldn't be as hard as it is to get iTunes to upload some album work.)
I am going to explode keeping this review in. but i would be amiss to forgot to thank you. for reading this now as I've drawn the curtain on myself, This Life of Mine. To Hope and Bob, congratulations. and i miss you and thanks and words escape me now. must remember to touch this up in editing the Skarins, of course. arlo, Fro, sabi too, where ever you are, good luck. (next year at the Sexiterium!) To my friends in the business world out there (Nicole, Brenna, the kchrisophers, mom&dad and the Familia). Feet. the Sharmas to whom I own no-end-of-gratitude. Words, in general. I like words. And of course, you, the readers.
I must remind my self, I'm not working for just one guy any more. I'm now also a corporation. like a whole bunch of guys and I think to myself: "i can't let this bunch of rad dudes look bad just because of me." And I jump into shape. (I really like this living-like-a-company thing.)
Speaking of... didja hear the falling twigs? Spring! and with it a whole new world of AmeriCare. I can't wait to get some care. I've been holding my breath since he announced it.and that's not good for the lungs.
Ok the review. Demon Days by the Gorillaz. it's what you've all gathered here for. Sat through all this yammer for. *i grasp for an opening statement* it simply blows me a way. I am sad to say, i am a man of little words. (if only cuz it'd be nice to have a bigger vocabulary.) I'm unsure if it's my having to much too say or too little? or the masterful technical work and the album's arrangement. but hear me, the result of listening to the album and blogging simultaneously. From 2-D's glorious vocals to Danger Doom's sonic brilliance, the album is a solid piece of work. The Gorillaz brand of electronic/Punk/Rap is damn-near unique. With Murdok's baselines crushing your speakers it's impossible not to get lost in the sound. Del (the funky Homo sapien) blesses the CD with some very fantastic jams. Just when you think they've over-reached, Del pulls us in for a spin and provides to very interesting -tantalizing- audio art to get us interested. I haven't yet had an opportunity to get a hold of their newest album (though i hear it's Amazing!) that said, Demon Days is my favorite Gorillaz work.
Get a copy of it, stick it in your ear. It is great.
thank you to all those I've meet in this travel.

I miss you too!
ReplyDeleteI think you've got a good sense humor, but...
ReplyDelete"didja hear the falling twigs? Spring!"
I don't think this one quite works. I see where it's going, branches do have a springiness to them, but I don't really picture them sort of popping off a tree or bouncing to the degree that spring used in as onomotopeia implies. My associations may just be unusual though. http://oldjewstellingjokes.com/ is a pretty good look at the classical styles. I would think that looking at the basic forms of the jokes and trying to develop material from there wouild be the way to go, but I haven't really written many original jokes. This is probably over emphasizing a minor thing.
I like the review a lot. It seems pretty in depth. Generally when I'm looking at my opinions of stuff I can only list specifics if I really enjoyed or hated something. Generally if something seems salvagable or could have been done slightly better, it doesn't trip enough wires for me to notice. Do you find this? Anyway this also a justification for my picking out the joke and not being able to say too much of significance about the review.
I'm glad you picked out that segue. I was unhappy with it too. Usually, Reviews (good ones, in my oppinion) offer some critism or specifics. I didn't really wanna review the album so much as sell it.
