11/06/2004: "haunted"

I cannot for the life of me get this song out of my head..."My Angel Rocks Back and Forth" by Four Tet. I had liked their previous album, Pause, but I had never gotten around to hearing their followup album. I'm kicking myself for not checking it out sooner. Long story short, last night I couldn't get the song out of my head so badly that I took a detour on the way to a poker game to pick up an additional copy to listen to right that minute. When Best Buy didn't have it, I spent 35 minutes trying to find a parking spot near the Mira Mesa Edwards, tried paying people 5 dollars to go inside and check if they had the album, etc. Eventually got in and they didn't have it...I don't know why I was shocked that Barnes and Nobles didn't have an indie UK electronica album...But they did have a kiosk where you could listen to "any song in the world". And surprisingly, it was on there. I listened in bliss, it was the greatest feeling. So got to poker a little over an hour late, but proceeded to clean house (70 dollar pot, yeah!) Anyway, if you're looking for an amazing track that will stick with you, check it out. Four Tet makes some very intellegent electronica with subtle elements of glitch and reversed harmonies...gets better with every listen.
