Human Television
Diana lent me Human Television’s “All Songs Written By: Human Television a while ago and the more I listen to it the more I like, and the more I like it the more I…listen to it. (Was that a disappointing way to end a sentence or what? What? Yes.) Here’s a song I really like (sadly, it’s very short) even though I have no idea what it’s about:
I have no idea what it’s about because I’m too lazy to actually make out the words. It’s not indecipherable but everything melds together nicely, like when you pour cream into tea and after stirring it around end up with creamy, mellow tea. And while you’re at it you may as well stir in some sugar or honey as well. Yes, I’m comparing this song to tea. That wasn’t my original plan.
They’re playing at Pianos on April 7th at Bloc Party’s after-party, but that’s a guest-list only thing and I suppose I wouldn’t have wanted to go to something after midnight anyway. (sniff) I’ve been getting more into Bloc Party after listening to them in smatterings, most recently “Like Eating Glass”, but I’m still not compelled to buy their CD. I’ll add it to my very long list of “stuff I wouldn’t mind having” though.

[…] mcgoody (mcgoody) wrote,@ 2005-04-09 11:47:00 Notes and Links – I recommended Human Television a couple weeks back. Their EP “All Songs Written By:” is really good and has that great Rickenbacker/Byrds style guitar going on. Here’s a link to another fan of Human Television that includes a MP3 from the EP. If anyone has seen them live i’d love to hear comments about their show.- Following my own experiences with Bloc Party’s arrogance shining through in their live show in Vancouver a few weeks back (at least that’s how i saw it), recent reviews of their show in New York seem to be echoing similar sentiments. Am I thumbing my nose at them due to their swelling popularity or are these guys way too cocky?(Post a new comment) Log in now.(Create account, or use OpenID) […]
