  1. whats your opinion on Truant/Sleeper? i personally liked rough sleeper more, i thought the vocal sampling, and the chord progression at the beginning were really good. as for 2012 releases, i probably enjoyed kindred ep more.

    I've only had a couple of listens but I'd agree on Rough Sleeper being the better track. Truant definitely has its moments, but overall it feels a little disjointed when it moves between textures and loses its groove. I only posted Truant for the video, which is pretty cool in and of itself.

    Kindred is much more visceral and aggressive than Burial's other stuff. For me there is some menace to the sound that isn't my usual taste in music. I'm probably splitting hairs here but it feels very different to me. That said I still listen to it, its just not one of my favorites (I actually like Street Halo best out of his work since Untrue).

    Truant/Rough Sleeper goes places no other Burial tracks have been before. There were a few brief times in both songs that sound hopeful or even joyous to me. Once again I just can't wait to see where he goes next.

    tldr; I could write a dissertation on Burial.

  2. Yeah, it will be interesting to see Iwan play a similarly dark character in a totally different way. It might be a bit of a psychological adjustment at first, since I loved him in the first two series of Misfits, but I'm sure he can put in a performance for viewers who haven't seen him before.

  3. I've never used it myself, but most of the cabs where I live are NYC anyway and they use it so I don't see why not.

    Also, fuck women pushing oversized prams on the sidewalk. Unless perhaps you're their husbands; in that case stop fucking them, you're offspring is constantly getting in my way.

  4. The drivers in LA who think sitting on the horn is going to make traffic move faster. I'm sitting in my office and I already hear it outside. I want to smash their mirrors with a bat.

    I see that and raise you taxi drivers who lay on their horn at 5 o'clock in the morning when waiting for a passenger to come out of their apartment. Fuck it, I'ma come out and say it: taxi drivers are cunts in general.

  5. Am I insane for thinking Amazingreen smells nice? I wouldn't wear it this time of year, but for Spring/Summer it feels like a nice scent.

    That being said I've been dousing meself in Dover Street Market lately, people must be thinking I'm some whacko living in a pine forest.
