NEW STUFF I LIKE: Late Of The Pier, Photonz, Primary 1, Das Spligeil, LA Priest, Phantasy Sound. Finally realised what my favourite noise is in the entire world - but i cant share it with anybody. major revelation. step forward.
Theres a lot i dislike, but i avoid it, and dont talk about it, i'd rather forget it/them.
CURRENTLY OBSESSED WITH THIS.. IT MAY BE NOSTALGIA, BUT THE THEME MUSIC IS INCREDIBLE
The beat breaks down so we pick it up
The floor shakes down but it's not enough
The beam is up and the kids are high
I've seen them move and it blows my eyes
The floor's an ocean and this wave is breaking
Your head is gone and your body's shaking
There is nothing you can do because there is no solution
You gotta get down to the noise and confusion
The sound goes round and we start to climb
The lips curl up and it kills my line
The beat is steal and the scene is sown
I see her eyes and her eyes are blown
The floor's an ocean and this wave is breaking
Your head is gone and your body's shaking
There is nothing you can do because there is no solution
You gotta get down to the noise and confusion
Out of our minds on the stage
"There is nothing you can do because there is no solution
You gotta get down to the noise and confusion"
'Sons Of The Stage' written by Tony Ogden and Gordon King
