...and leaves 3 ghosts in Birmingham
Johnny Foreigner - Yr All Just Jealous (zShare)
It's rainy here today, or at least you'd think it was rainy what with all the nice dark clouds and snow melting everywhere. Anyways, it's close enough to rain to make me think it must officially be spring, which puts me in the mood for something loud, fast and joyous. Johnny Foreigner to the rescue! (I always thought their band name sounded vaguely super hero-esque.) This song makes me want to go jump on a skateboard and start busting some moves (the fact that I've never skated in my life evidently has no bearing). Johnny Foreigner have something of a talent for packing more lyrical wit into a three-minute song than most bands do in an entire album, and it's a thing of beauty to witness. Take some of my favourite lines: "Hot girls know the words to our songs and I'm terrified of what comes next", and, "You got stars on your hips you got scars on your wrists and I'm wondering which you got done first". Exciting punk music for indie kids.
