Ever watched Lebron dunk a basketball? Or seen Ryan Gosling sport a beard? Or perhaps witnessed a man eat a 17-inch burrito in just over 3 minutes? Anyway, the point is they make it look easy. Too easy, in fact. It makes me distrust them, like they’re trying to pull a fast one and dammit, people don’t pull fast ones on this guy! I’M too fast! National Skyline is either pulling a fast one or they’re just that good because this track off their 2001 Exit Now EP is delightful.
That casual “mother fucker” in the lyrics instantly reminded of a song by fellow electro-poppers, Dios (Malos), “You’ll Get Yours” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_itavzh_gg). Which in turn instantly reminded me that neither Matt nor I sing well enough for Laszlo Toth to pull of like-minded use of profanity. Which fuck….
Ya, we’d definitely be more in the Rage Against The Machine (a la “Killing In The Name Of”) division — often and loudly.
