So What am I Listening to Now?

Moving Units. Wow. It's all I've been able to listen to the past few weeks. I always liked their last album Hexes For Exes, but after paying more attention to the beats and lyrics, it's got to be one of my favorite albums ever.

Every song is just fucking brilliant, but one song that stands out for me is Kids From Orange County. I spent part of my youth growing up in Orange County so the lyrics are spot on describing the desperate situation a lot of these kids feel when growing up there.

Then there's this awesome bridge in the song that goes something like:

And everybody loves a roller coaster ride
Everybody loves a little suicide
And everybody loves a roller coasterride
Everybody needs a little place to hide
Everybody loves a roller coaster ride
Everybody yeah, everybody

The song becomes utterly euphoric when it reaches that part.

Anyways, thought I'd post the rest of the lyrics cuz the song is just perfect:

A suburban scene you can smell the gasoline
You can see the moon is a veil dripping blood on the SUV's
All the kids are leaving now while the curtain is dreaming
How will their parents know where they go when they hide behind gated communities

Now it's four on the floor
Check your head at the door
You've been here before but you wanted some more
And the kids from L.A. say "Hey, hey"
La la la
La la la
La la la
Everyone's going L.A.

A suburban tease you can see their dirty knees
You can see them bounce off a wall like a racquet hits a ball
But they always come back again
A Jamaican breeze you can smell the anti-freeze
You can see the world is a maze when you're young and you're free
To be anything you wanted to be

Now it's four on the floor
Check your head at the door
You've been here before but you wanted some more
And the kids from L.A. say "Hey, hey"
La la la
La la la
La la la
Everyone's going L.A.

And everybody loves a roller coaster ride
Everybody loves a little suicide
Everybody loves a roller coaster ride
Everybody yeah, everybody
And everybody loves a roller coaster ride
Everybody needs a little place to hide
Everybody loves a roller coaster ride
Everybody yeah, everybody

Now it's four on the floor
Check your head at the door
You've been here before but you wanted some more
Alone in the dark you pop like a spark
There's sex in the air but there's love in their heart
There's shadows on the wall
Secrets in the hall
Checking the phone to see who's called
And the kids from L.A. say "Hey, hey"
La la la
La la la
La la la

Everything is going our way
Hey, hey yeah everyone's going L.A.

Get outta the way boy get outta the way
Get outta the way girl get outta the way
Get outta the way boy get outta the way
Get outta the way girl get we're going L.A.
