As much as I’d like to think that everyone that listens to radio \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand MTV\/Fuse WANTS good music, I have a feeling \t\t\t\t\t\t\t a good chunk of them wouldn’t ‘get it’ even if \t\t\t\t\t\t\t it was given to them. While you and I cringe \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twhen a car drives by with Linkin Park cranked, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t others call into radio stations and request them. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t Well, I thought long and hard about this, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand all I’ve got is “fuck those people.” Popular music has \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpoisoned them beyond recovery, and the sooner \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twe get over that, the sooner we (you and me and \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthat one blond guy from Full House) can get the fuck \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tout of here and start a new society. We’ll make \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTom Petty the mayor… it’ll be The Postman all \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tover again, except more popular. We’ll make \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta little town, a luscious park with a treefort, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand mount speakers everywhere, always playing \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdifferent music. On Sundays we’ll play more mellow down \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tshit; reggae, jazz, and soft indie stargazer \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trock like Three Mile Pilot, Pink Floyd (hey in \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmy fantasy, Floyd is indie rock) and The Rum Diary. Formed in 2000, they \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tappeared on a \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfew comps before releasing their first release, “Noise Prints.” Less \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\texperimental and more prolonging indie rock. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tListening to their current\tmaterial will let \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tyou finish the angle of “Noise \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrints”. After \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta 7″ here and a compilation there, they put out the EP “A Key \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto Slow Time”. The five songs clearly show that Rum Diarys been \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tgetting more melodic and full of peaceful intenseness \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand yeah, it’s definitely in the vein of bands \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tlike Death Cab. I fucking\tcrank “Poisons \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThat Save Lives” the latest Rum Diary album. Released last year, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tit has this phonic stripper-fingers that give \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tyour shoulders a rub and get you all relaxed, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twhile quietly removing any stress or girlfriend \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thassles you may have. It’s dreamy, parts are \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbeautifully melodic and the hypnotic drumming \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(with equally as entrancing guitar and bass lines) \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmakes me smoke more weed than Whitney Houston \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twhen it’s playing. Wait,\tis that too old of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta reference?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
