[0119] here comes a strange cargo

Okay, sitting down for a quick break from what my fitbit believes is an aerobic workout, but is in fact just cleaning the house. I am very sweaty.

31. Which friend do you confide in most?

Are you my friend, Dreamwidth? Because otherwise, I simply DNC.



Wikipedia Sez: The Last Broadcast is the second studio album by British indie rock band Doves. The album was released by Heavenly Recordings on 29 April 2002, and went straight to number 1 on the UK Albums Chart. The album's first single "There Goes the Fear" entered the UK Singles Chart at number 3, the band's highest-charting single to date, despite being released and deleted on the same day (what does this even mean). Two further singles, "Pounding" and "Caught by the River", were also successful, charting in the Top 30. The Last Broadcast garnered critical acclaim upon its release, and was a shortlist nominee for the Mercury Prize in 2002.

Genre: Pop/Rock

Styles: Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Indie Rock, Britpop

Prior Familiarity: Nonexistent.

What I Did While Listening: Swept and mopped the floors, part one.

Verdict: It's... fine? Didn't leave a huge impression, honestly. Some good mopping music, and some of the later tracks had a real 'these guys want to be Radiohead SO BAD' vibe so them, and that's about it, really.

Favourite Song: Satellites

OKAY, BACK TO THE SHIT.
