Mercury Ist Retrograde

not in the mood for long writing based post
three tracks and a bonus. Not much dance music in my mood at the moment. Seems to be a bit of everything else though. Modest Mouse, Tom Vek, Bloc Party, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, Billy Talent, Nirvana. I think i enjoy the slightly organised chaos that certain of these bands represent.



Bloc Party- Mercury (from the new album, Intimacy)

UNKLE- Hold My Hand (Innervisions Orchestra remix)(Offered as a free download via www.residentadvisor.net)

Led Zeppelin- Babe Im Gonna Leave You (from Led Zeppelin I)

Nirvana - Negative Creep (from their debut album, Bleach)



I've actually been listening to In Utero as opposed to Bleach in the last few days but the In Utero cd is in my car and Negative Creep fulfils the credentials well enough and is a beast.

Final point, be sure to check out the video for 'Mercury', as i think it ties in incredibly well with the song, and has an awesomely tweaked post apocalpytical theme with some kind of Minotaur in it. Did i mention the Minotaur has some kind of claw hand? No? Well it does.
