Chemicals

An act of sheer laziness from me, but right now my mind is a mess and my brain crushed by a violent headache. To which the pill (not to make any unauthorized use of a branded name) I took helped very little. Which brings me, in an interesting and surely completely involuntary turn of rhetoric, to think of this interesting article posted last December on the not-less-interesting Pitchfork, highlighting both a major issue of our contemporary occidental societies and four great songs by three great bands (I tell you, they’re good over there) :

Cloud Cult – Chemicals Collide
Cloud Cult – Take Your Medicine
Of Montreal - Heimdelsgate Like a Promethean Curse
Panda Bear – Take Pills

And by the same token I would like to highlight Bridging The Atlantic’s best of 2007 which seems to me like a very good post-it for those of us who’ve skipped over some records from last year and still like to rock themselves out on good music (plus they’ve mixed it all up and left the songs separately – they’re good too).
