Infatuated – Part 2

December 17, 2009

My love for Bon Iver still stands but the infatuation/stalker side is dying out. The slag who’s replacing it is Post-Rock.

I’ve listened to Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai and 65Daysofstatic for years but I’m finding at the moment that everytime I make a playlist or want some background noise that I’m turning to la Post-Rock.

For all of you who aren’t au fait with Post-Rock then I shall enlighten you with some of my current favourites (including the more prominent bands and the lesser known):

Explosions In The Sky – Remember Me As A Time Of Day

Mogwai – Ithica 27/9

God Is An Astronaut – New Years End

Do Make Say Think – A Tender History In Rust

65Daysofstatic – Radio Protector

The American Dollar – Anything You Synthesise

This Will Destroy You – Threads

Jakob – Nice Day For An Earthquake

Hammock – Blankets Of Night

Mono – Follow The Map

Russian Circles – Death Rides A Horse

If my life were a movie these songs would feature in the soundtrack.

These are just a few of the reasons why I really want to start a Post-Rock band. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do. And I’m gonna post-rock out with my cock out. And I’m going to sample some wicked ass shit from movies and it’s going to be tittylicious.
