For the last few weeks, I've done nothing but soak in my final days (theoretically) of complete laziness and irresponsibility, before having to enter the world of working stiffs (read: adulthood). Despite the fact that spending extraordinary hours on the couch, TiVo'ing every episode of The Daily Show, is no small order, I decided that it was high time to challenge myself and pick up another TV show to begin and play catch-up. I guess if I wanted to do this and still maintain the semblance of a life, I probably should have picked something a notch below Battlestar Galactica. Because, now, I'm...so...obsessed (like, watched all 3.5 seasons in a week and a half obsessed). Though, really, I should have seen this coming, what with my love of J.J. Abrams dramas/yelling at the TV when I don't understand the latest "plot twists" (taking liberties, here) on Heroes/Lost. With BSG, it's like they decided to look at every good sci-fi show on television, ever, and go, "Hmm, these are good... but what if we took out the crap?" Turns out: it worked. Also, look how bad ass this "Last Supper"-esque photo is:
All things considered, I decided that a related music post (don't laugh, I was almost tempted to scrap the music altogether and just geek out on the show) would either have to be an extremely Pure Moods-y genre, or some shit about robots. Robots it is!
"Bulls on Parade" (Rage Against the Machine)
...maybe it's a pathetic excuse to have a Rage tag on the blog, maybe it's a poor connection between BSG cylons and a track that only has an allusion to robots in the band name - I say, what's the diff??
"One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21" (Flaming Lips)
...whether Yoshimi... is a concept album, or just a concept introductory four songs, the connection between Yoshimi and her face off against a bunch of futuristic robots is possibly the best conveyance of deep, philosophical thought I've ever heard in music.
"Robots" (TV on the Radio)
...apparently, robots are everywhere. And I guess they're trying to procreate.
