imagination takes more control

I've decided that I like Transatlanticism after all, although, not quite as a proper DCfC album, just the more depressing version. But yeah, it's good.

I listened to a bunch of albums I'd downloaded yesterday, but I forget... hm. cyann & ben's Spring was far too mellow, as was Camera Obscura's latest. Or should I say "twee." I hate that twee shit, you've no idea. I rather liked the Deep Concentration - Wreckin' the Floor compilation, as well as Faultline's Your Love Means Everything. And Elefant's Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid is enjoyable.

I didn't much like Transatlanticism the first time I listened to it either for pretty much the same reason. It didn't have 100% of that DCfC "sound". Now though, it's one of my favorite and has held the number 3 slot in my 6 disk changer for months and months.

"Title And Registration " is one of my all time favorite DCfC songs ever, as is "Death Of An Interior Decorator". "..Interior Decorator" has to be one of the best songs about suburban love ever.
