Best blog post of the year so Far....

Go read this right now, The Torture Garden is one of the best blogs out there and about the Fourth Post Down is why. Great song cover, great picture, great words.

Here is the text re-created.

A beautiful song is not of this world - it is a different thing to your bank statement, your exam results, or the guarantee on your laptop. It is nothing to the price of a full tank, the important things you worry about, the bullet points that fill you up and drag you around on your day. It does nothing for troop movements, diplomacy or sanctions, it doesn't get anyone elected, it doesn't pay your bills, it doesn't contribute to the economy. In fact, it is against this, it is opposed to daily routine, cubicles and uniforms, punching in and punching out.

It disrupts all these serious things, the things that our society seems to be built on, and it points out details like a smiling white angel on your shoulder. You work so you can play again, and there's no point otherwise. You work so you can laugh, be loved, fall in love, make jokes and get happy under bedroom lights, and we love to be reminded of this, we need to be reminded of this, even forcibly. A good song is a terrorist attack on behalf of beauty.Indie kids of the world! Unite in twos please, this is your wedding song.
