Album Favorite

"It was great times, I was living in London. Actually, I should probably temper that. It was shit times, but there were one or two great times, it would have been like 2001, living London, having no money. I was working in shitty, office temping jobs, typing numbers in to computers, it was soul destroying and, in the evenings, we’d rehearse but I lived for the weekend. I remember that album came out and there hadn’t been any albums that had come out that had grabbed me that had the combination of being real songs that you could dance to, almost like house music dancing. Around that time, I was taking so much ecstasy and every weekend I’d take a couple of pills and go dancing. That album was a perfect companion for those times. I remember going to see them on my birthday at the Astoria or somewhere like that, and just having such a wicked time. These days I just don’t have the energy to go out dancing, but I loved it, it was truly brilliant. For me it’s still the greatest dance record that I know of."

Makes me cry
I fell wiped out on the tile singing along and dancing in socks, twice
Can’t stop singing
I really loved the film and I listen to this soundtrack over and over.

The Other Side is an agument I have with myself all the time- stick with mundane safety or shoot for the stars?

I can’t say I’ve ever regretted the times I lit the fuse and took off, but it scares me every time. :P

As far as the haters go-
They can say it all sounds crazy. They can say I lost my mind. I don’t care if they call me crazy, I’ll run away to a world that we designed. ?
