the xx

what an interesting band the xx are

intro - the xx



their songs on the album 'xx' on a random play, they start and i start guessing

sometimes i think hot chip?

sometimes everything but the girl (if i had that on cd, which i don't...)

depeche mode

guitar bits can be pure the cure

and the harmonies

the simple double-lisp boy/girl harmonies

"i was struggling to get in, left waiting out side your door..."

and awesome to be in love, long distance or unrequited... both maybe...

'basic space', how we all need it, no matter how in love


... top tracks

islands
heart skipped a beat
basic space
and intro - their only near-instrumental :)

and from that poorly filmed interview over coffee we know that david gedge likes 'em

and cue the wedding present on random!

gazebo

my song

my fuckin song

:)

because i am also a wedding present fan

more so now, so much more so lately... :)

but gazebo, i always loved that song

off an album it's surprisingly hard to buy now (watusi)

and not on youtube, which is tragic

"you wouldn't believe all the time that i've wasted
staring at the photographs
you sent to me, but i remember oh, exactly how you tasted
and just how much you really meant to me..."

oh mr gedge

is that for me?
