The Stranglers – "Waltzinblack" (1981)
2010/10/24
"Waltzinblack" is not typical of The Stranglers' work, and is more of an quirky intro to the album. I totally dig it as a creepy waltz, and whoever created the video slideshow above is right to think of clowns and carnivals as the setting for this dark dance. I watched Stephen King's "IT" when I was a bit young for it. Clowns are creepy!

Lou Reed – "Perfect Day" (1972)

Feeling good, yet melancholy? Here is the song for you. That is where I am. And here is why…
I went to a class run by my friend about being environmentally friendly, living with less stuff, sustainability, etc. etc. (…more on the content another time…) It was fun, good and invigorating, but yet there is that tinge of hopelessness I could not help but feel once I returned home and realized the issues are huge. Monumental in fact. And they are getting worse, not better, even despite increased awareness. Yes there are things that can be done by individuals such as myself, but it is probably easier to move mountains than it is to change the masses. One rock at a time I guess. One rock at a time.
The one thing I will tell you all is you need to watch "The Story of Stuff" if you haven't already.
