Veins Explode
The Paper Cranes - I'll Love You until My Veins Explode
In a nation of handclaps, dancing, and sad boys this song would be the undisputed "president for life". Those not bobbing their heads in unison will be forced by edict to sing along with the chorus at top volume. And, most importantly, all incidence of broken hearts and exploding veins will be documented in excruciating detail for the epic film version of the song, starring Robert Smith and Morrissey. [You may remember me posting a demo version of this song in the fall. The studio recorded self-titled EP easily meets or exceeds all expectations, so you should go buy it at Insound. Also check out a few more songs at the Paper Cranes' Myspace page]
Minimum Chips - Goodbye
This song is part of a larger utopian scheme for a future world occupied by short dresses and bobbed haircuts. It is a manifesto for dancing in slow motion (but not slow dancing!) and for making movies only using soft focus and scenes at sunset. It is a call for electronic music that robots can't help but hate. [In a stroke of genius, Minimum Chips has posted their entire discography online as free mp3 downloads. The new album Kitchen Tea Thankyou is the outstanding follow up to Emperor Tomato Ketchup that Stereolab never made, and is easily my most listened to album over the past few weeks. Go! Enjoy!]
