track review 2013

Hildegard von Bingen was a 12th century German Catholic saint, who was also a writer and composer and philosopher! I wonder how Banhart got into this mystic character, but this is what happens when you have a wild imagination

Over the past 4 months My Chemical Romance has been steadily releasing a series of singles that, combined, make up what is essentially the band’s fifth studio album which they’ve titled Conventional Weapons.

A simple pop tune with a really horrible keyboard. If they would just pull the cord on the Casio it would sound so much more legit. Right now it takes on a semi retro 60s pop sound. Yeah yeah, most of their stuff does but after 10 years can you at least try a new angle?

Lets face it, Cheri wouldn’t be stranded anywhere so this must be a tale of someone she knew or someone she was. If anything shes the girl who would snag the car keys and leave everyone else stranded AND take their high heels. Which is why I like her.

I suppose as a white middle class old fogey Im supposed to be disgusted but c’mon, I think you all know me too well to believe this. I say push it further. I say the circle jerk of rappers should be bigger, more vulgar and more disturbing
