OMFG

Has anyone ever heard of The Playing Fields?

Holy Mary, Mother of Mice. This is a goddamn good band. Like, for reals.

I had received a friend request on MySpace from some DJ in London and when I went to check out their profile, Hello, New World was playing. Sweet Jesus. I immediately searched them out and downloaded their entire album, after only hearing that one song and now I've been listening to them over and over for the past couple of hours while I work on my Western Civ II exam.

She thinks of her father as a train wreck,
Riding his rollercoaster towards death, and
They speak in a twist of languages,
Speed winding in her stomach round
All the bends.

(& all you'll ever see is you looking back at me.
& all you'll ever see is you looking back at me.)

It puts this knot in my stomach that I can not explain.

Well.

Actually, how I feel about that bit of lyric can be explained. Particularly if you know anything about my father. But, I mean the music as a whole.

Yeah.

I'll quit while I'm ahead. Go listen to them. Now.

**edit**
A description, if you please:

"The band’s sound is... what might happen if Lou Reed and H. P. Lovecraft met in a pub one dark and gloomy night and decided to form a band. Some of the most hauntingly-poetic lyrics ever to grace a debut - or for that matter, platinum - album." (Music4M)

I HATE WESTERN CIV II

For real-real, not for play-play.

This shit is bananas. 18 page exam, all essays. Can't go over 18 pages. Double-spaced. 12 point Times New Roman. One inch margins. How the hell is this supposed to happen when it asks questions like, "Explain the causes of World War I?" Stupidity. My brain is fried. And I'm only just starting section 6 (there's 9).

Also, my Tuesday/Wednesday professor did not show up for class on Tuesday/Wednesday. What gives? I waited around for an hour both times (because I am a kiss-ass) and...nothing. Called the office: no cancellations.

It's kind of worrisome because this not her normal mode of behavior. That, and we have FINALS next week (and papers due, which I haven't even started yet because I suck) and there hasn't been a review. They were supposed to be tonight/last night.

I also have my World Lit final tomorrow and I'm shitting bricks over it. AND a group presentation on Monday for Social Work Processes.

...gah.
