The other day, on my fourth consecutive night out, a friend started singing “Don’t Stop Believin'”. As you can imagine, this isn’t exactly a favourite of mine. Quite the opposite. I hate it. Trite, irritating guff that drives me insane. You could safely say I’m not a big fan of this whole “Glee”-inspired reappraisal of horrendous ’80’s songs. I’m not sure my friend was so keen on me expressed my heartfelt hatred, but what can you do, eh?

So on my way to work yesterday, irritating earworm still buzzing away in my brain, I forced it out by playing Low. Ah, Low. Purveyors of gloriously slow and soft narco-country, they are firm favourites round here. In lieu of a proper post about them, here is a lovely song by the name of “Starfire”.

MP3: Starfire by Low

In other news, I know it’s all been a bit quiet round here, but I blame all the parties. Coming up in the next couple of days (hopefully) is an interesting record label, and interesting review of The Fall and hopefully an interesting review of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. All very interesting.
