Every fire burns out…

…and it’s hard to be on fire eternally. The planet is burning out of oil, forests keep on flaring up, and we ourselves can’t help but flare out after some time, forget our grudge or put an end to our best efforts, as ravaging as we may have been (tis all about you A.).

Let it be known, the beauty is in the fire, who cares if it has to end.
And Charlotte’s on fire and Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya understood it and put some oil on Cocosuma’s song (in the form of a hotter than thou remix). Let yourself be burnt by that fantastic beat, let yourself by soothed by those cuddly voices.

Fever

It’s sunny outside, I can almost smell summer coming in. And I don’t know why but such brightness makes me want more darkness. Call it contrast or bipolarity, I don’t care, with that weather I want darkness, I want the warm penetrating smell of sweat, the electrifying feeling of bodies, both close and yet not touching, both tense and paralysed.

And when I want that, I want The Kills.

I want a band whose outrageously overdone look becomes credible in all the grandeur of the baroque cliché it embodies. I want a band who summons in my mind views of pitch black caves, where fucked-up kids frantically try to get the monster inside of them out with their guitars. I want a band that gives me the feeling my skin is pierced from inside by thousands of tiny needles, whose blatant rage make my nerves shiver in hot blooded excitation. I want a band who puts the bitter taste of sweat and metal on the tip of my tongue and make me wanna bite lips to keep my feelings alive. I want a band whose music sounds of deep blues and furious angst, low bass and twisted industrial guitars, deep paranoid heartbeat drums and sings with voices that cry thousands of after-hours cigarettes burning throats and lungs.

I want that band and I have The Kills.

That’s cool with me, since they’re putting out a new album, and it will never be coming soon enough but we still have that :
