Repeaterbeater

I was told to post something, so here it is: Kallie's opinions of a song on Mew's 2009 album No more stories are told today. I'm sorry. They washed away. No more stories. The world is grey. I'm tired. Let's wash away (that is the title of their album).

The song is Repeaterbeater. Like all Mew songs, it's very strange, but like only some Mew songs, it's also very catchy. Kallie really likes it. It travels (I don't know how to describe this any better, but some songs seem to 'travel' and she loves that!).

And the film clip, although disturbing, is also very cool (to her)! Mainly 'cos her precious Jonas features quite a lot, and (Sam will appreciate the concept behind this) from 3:46 (see video below) they're all soaking wet. Some people look very attractive wet. They also manage to look attractive while having mental breakdowns. Or trying to comfort their overwhelmed friends. Jonas apparently looks attractive doing all these. So here is the clip:



Overall, Kallie thinks the whole album is awesomely cool and she loves it with the intense passion I have for fruit and nut easter eggs. She wants me to point out that while it is difficult to get into the album (typical of Mew, I'd say) you soon get hooked, and everytime you listen you hear something new. Also typical of Mew is that sweet, beautiful innocence with that undercurrent of darkness and urgency.It even has a hidden track (New Terrain in reverse is Nervous- the lyrics of Nervous accurately sum up the theme of Kallie's life, namely being nervous and wishing she'd stayed home in bed).

Kallie would rate it as 16 out of 10, but that's because she can't do maths.
