Welcome! To the first of hopefully many 'Friday Jams' - today, we'll be jamming with Bloc Party (not in a literal sense sadly).
The song is Mercury and you can click the link just below to have a listen, try to ignore the creepy video, or embrace it if you want.
Bloc Party - Mercury
Listened? Well, the lyrics are quite frankly beyond me. Completely insane, makes no sense to me whatsoever... "Your maid's in L.A and she's not returning" - What does that meeaaaannn!!???
Anyway, that's not the point, what i did manage to find out was that 'Mercury in retrograde' is a thing that occurs three times a year and it's where the planet Mercury appears to 'rotate backwards from earth' - in astrology it refers to a time when we direct our thoughts inward and have difficulty expressing our thoughts outward - so I guess it makes sense that a lot of this song doesn't make sense because he's having difficulty expressing his thoughts outward - if that makes sense.
But I digress, it's a hot ass jam and you need to check it out, below are three more hot ass jams because I'm so generous like that :) ENJOY!
This is a remix of "Bloc Party - Mercury" and is just as awesome.
Bloc Party - Mercury (Hervé Is In Disarray Remix)
This next one is a nice pumping dance track, maybe nice isn't the word, but good all the same.
Roísin Murphy - Momma's Place
The last one is an awesome track from Metronomy's new album - just brilliantly composed also love the video, so chic and weird and just awesome!
Metronomy - The Bay
Sidenote- hope you enjoyed that! Recommendations are welcome!
