GOLDFRAPP/ANIMAL COLLECTIVE




imagine if steven spielberg or someone got really into electro house and made a movie about it

like a really sappy, melodramatic 24 hour party people

and it starts out with uncle alkan playing blue monday for his nephew erol, telling him to look at the EQ lights

the camera closes in on the EQ display as the intro drums play

but the synth never comes

as the camera closes in, an orchestra swells dramatically over the drums

and the camera zooms in on the lights

until they're blinding

and suddenly they're not eq lights at all

we're in a club 20 years later

as wild british youth dance fervently

to erol's mashup of blue monday and can't get you out of my head

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE




Sex between two relative strangers is sort of like two tectonic plates moving past one another, deep underneath the ocean. One plate happens into another plate, there's a slight vibration, and then a brief, passionless burst of steaming magma bubbles that streams through a crack in the ocean floor and gurgles to the surface. By the time it reaches the rest of the world, it contains barely as much force or meaning as a fart in a swimming pool. No one will talk about the food. They will only talk about the smell.
