All I want is a Delorean


Ho-ly shit, a Robyn reference in the TITLE, this must be good.


Ho-ly shit. Back-to-back weeks? Don't jinx it.

Sometimes on Fridays I spend my mornings dancing at work. This is unacceptable as I have a desk job. But, no matter because this song makes my toes tap like those of someone with Restless Leg Syndrome who can’t quite reach the floor. I find myself typing along to the beat and annoying everyone around me. For me, this can be considered a super productive day at the office; and on a Friday no less! Delorean (apart from being a sweet name for a band) is a sweeeeet band! Some people describe them as blisscore, but that sounds like some romantic subculture of porn and I cannot stand for it. I'm going to call it like it is and call it...elec-tronic? The question mark is vital to this branding- so make sure you pronounce it.

Honestly, I am not usually a super fan of this genre of music. I think the fact that this track is devoid of some super irritating "bass drop" is part of what makes me just so smitten with it. This and the fact that you can listen to it on repeat for the better part of an hour and fail to discern where it ends and begins again.
Let’s celebrate my productivity together with a group listen, shall we?

We. Shall.

There were a variety of youtube links I could have chosen and I want you to know that this was the winner based solely on the chick’s outfit in the still. Enough visual interest to last the length of the song? No. No, probably not. Maybe play Tetris while this track plays in order to amuse your lookin' bawls and try to pay attention to whether or not the pitter-patter of your arrow fingers starts to sync up with the tune. I suspect that it will, unless you’re that special rhythmically deprived brand of white person known as “upper middle class”. I jest! Just playing to my audience of one.

w-what's your fanta-ta-seee?

Skewing the stats and writing eveennnn less frequently....


But let's talk about how ahead of the Kimbra train I was with my December post. She really IS somebody that I used to know....now stop requesting that Gotye track and listen to the rest of his stuff. Thanks.

Tesla Boy.

Interesting name. I don’t get it, but that makes sense since you are from Russia.

      Hey, I really like your track Fantasy. In my mind it belongs in or at least from the 80s, so imagine my surprise when I read on the truthernet that you formed as a band in 2008. Whoaaa! This song makes me dance in that terrible way that the redhead that John Hughes loved so hard routinely did her her sweet teen flicks – the whitest way! Seriously, I heard this song and spent the better part of 5 minutes trying to place which super sweet Tom Cruise running scene or Highlander fight sequence this was featured in. The sad truth: none. I demand a remake whose soundtrack features thissss track, or anything by Tesla Boi.. That’s the thing to do these days anyway, isn’t it? Fucking Footloose... In the same way that bacon shouldn't be reheated, Bacon shouldn't be redone.


      This is going to be a pretty ineffective entry, because I don’t really know why I like this song. It’s not particularly catchy, I don’t think. But it stick, stack, stuck with me.  I do like that it is fantastic background music because despite the existence of vocals, they don’t wrench me away from whatever short bout of productivity I may or may not be endeavoring. This song mellows me. I felt I owed them a mention on my dormant music blog after noticing that they were logging mad replays this month on the soundwaves to my ears. Give it a listen. Explain to me the basis of its obvious but description-elusive appeal.

If nothing else fucking appreciate that one of the band member’s names is POKO COX.
