pay close attention...

Some completely random and unrelated things today.

Firstly, Arthur Lee died on August 3rd. Lee and his band Love are responsible for one of the most sonically pleasing and lyrically dark albums ever made. If you don't own "Forever Changes" stop reading right now and go and buy it. Don't buy it on iTunes either, this is one that you must own in its entirety... not just the digital code. I'll post some Love stuff this week so stay tuned.

Wherever you are, do what you can to help this organisation www.streetsoccer.org. Or any other one. Go on.

Finally, as "Empire" has grown on me considerably (Stereogum and the like can fuck themselves with their indier-than-thou appraisal of the track) I'm on a Kasabian kick. This is from the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. It is old. It is fun. Tonight Matthew, Kasabian are The Prodigy.
