Rocket Surgery
Too many influences don't (always) spoil the broth
Can’t say I don’t get a kick out of starting a post by quoting Lenin.
A lie told often enough becomes the truth. Couldn’t ever be truer in the world of public relations. Lindsay Lohan is suffering from exhaustion, all your applications will work fine under Vista, Vera Wang’s a talented designer, man set foot on the moon, yadda yadda yadda…
Now consider Rocket Surgery: A duo of New York City musicians who go about synths and guitars to create experimental, passionate, brash, cogent music which is really hard to peg. After all, they claim their influences scan from 1950s retro to King Crimson, Kraftwerk, and early Pink Floyd, so you can imagine why it’s hard to call their colour and tattoo them with it, which is to their credit.
I’m getting to my point.
Now take their song You Are Meant To Be Here: Tenebrous and menacing as it is epic, it is the post-apocalyptic spaghetti western theme that Knights Of Cydonia marketed itself to be, but actually succeeded in accomplishing.
Listen to the song, and start spreading the new lie. Which is actually the truth.
