Like playing a flying saucer – really, really well! =D

TrackbackAnother beautiful song by David Bazan / Pedro the Lion, this time from their 2002 album Control (which has a story, no less).

Fair play to the guy, he can definitely write a catchy tune.

Bands with managers are going places
Bands with messy hair and smooth, white faces
But you don’t believe when I say
That it won’t be all right, all rightVans with fifteen passengers are rolling over
But I trust T. William Walsh
And I’m not afraid to die
But you don’t believe when I say
That it won’t be all right, all right
That it won’t be all right, all right
Because it won’t be all right, all right
So beautiful – love it. And just because I looked it up out of curiosity, T. William Walsh is this guy =D

Just noting this for future reference, but I finally got iTunes working properly on a Windows PC that would at random:
- transfer some songs to iPod Touch devices successfully,
- transfer some other songs, then crash, then the device reports no music on it, or
- corrupt the device so badly it needed fresh firmware restored.
And the the culprit turned out to be…. Zone Alarm. No kidding. Turn off Zone Alarm and everything worked instantly.
iTunes is still a god-awful PoS though, but at least it’ll now transfer music and apps. If you’re getting “app could not be installed because it is not signed” issues with iTunes, and you’re installing legit apps, chances are that turning off Zone Alarm will fix it right up. Amazing.

Good track, good vid – I think I prefer the running up that hill Kate Bush cover and The Bitter End, as songs, but this is still very engaging.
I actually first heard this track in the soundtrack for SSX 3 (best snowboarding game that exists – including up to 2011) on the PS2 instead of on getting a Placebo album – but there you go… I guess any press is good press – and it turns our they’re making a new SSX (trailer) to be released in 2012 – hope it’s good!
