Scanning the internet for randomness, I saw a mention of Cat Stevens somewhere. Jarring my memory, I remembered an e-mail from his people telling me about a new album under his new moniker, Yusef. I ran to Gmail to find the press release, and got a video stream for Heaven open. All was well... until the video began to play.

Instantly, I was thrown back to 1982, as the disco ball and dance hall lights began to burn providing a far-from-interesting story as a young middle-eastern boy searched for his mother. Furthermore, the song is about the least romantic 'loveish' song in existance.

"I've seen many souls before/ Ah but Heaven must have programmed you... / Will you... /Will you / Will youuuu... / MmmMhhhmmmm..."


Is this about a robot? He fell in love with a robot, that he swears Heaven programmed to love him? I bet this shit makes it to the Top 40. I imagine seeing this on VH1's Worst Videos of 2007, instead. Cant wait. Don't believe me? Check this shit here: Worst Video Since 1982

A lot has happened since the 60's Yusef Islam, you got some catching up to do. Were not all stoned anymore, we now notice that the lyrics don't mean anything or even make sense.

After much deliberation, I have realized that music itself is not going to make any drastic changes in the near future and the avoidance of my love for it would be futile.

In a new vain of motivation, I am getting a radio show on 90.9 WQFS in Greensboro, North Carolina. I will be playing music (not Arcade Fire) and I will never feature photos of kittens, no matter how cute they may be. I will focus on the newest things out, but also on some older things I come across along the way. I will hopefully be posting the play-lists here also, for your listening pleasure. I must quickly return to my studies, I will leave you with this:

Enjoy. Thank you Tobias and Alan at SixEyes for reminding me how much I love this song!

PS. The aforementioned music video was never edited, and may remain in such a state for a while. However, if you would like to help out on the project, you are more than welcome to e-mail me. Here is a couple photos from the filming:

I'm ready for something new. I swear, if I read one more article on Arcade Fire, I am going to throw the fuck up on my lap. I wish some of these bloggers would actually make an effort. I just scanned some of my old favorite blogs, only to find some fucking pictures of kittens, about 17 Arcade Fire posts, and some bullshit about last year's best music, it is nearing the middle of January, can we get over 2006? Is there really nothing else going on? I suppose not.

Until it is new, and I find it, fuck this.
