89. Crystal Castles - 'Baptism'

I am the only person I know who would like this song. It has a serious trance beat and a mad Canadian woman shrieking at the top of her lungs. Love it.

I love quite a lot of Trance music, in fact, but I have learned not to expect anybody to listen to it with me. So it becomes a secret pleasure, just me and my iPod out pounding the streets or the treadmill, dumph beats at full volume. Still, whatever gets you through, right?

There are, obviously, many many songs that I love, but I have chosen this one for the blog because I discovered it the old fashioned way - by listening to the radio. BBC 6 Music, if you want to know. Thank god they've saved it. Anyway, Nemone with the silly name played this song and I sat very still and quiet all the way through it and held my breath in case she didn't tell me what it was called and where I could get it from IMMEDIATELY. So seconds later she had told me its name and I had downloaded it from Amazon. Ah, technology and old-fashioned together, my favourite.

Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones. Now that's a tune. Oh yeah.

  2. you are so down with the kids. i know not who the crystal castles are - you will have to introduce me. my most recent purchase was a sea shanties CD.

    PS Nemone is not too cool to be co-host on a dreadful BBC saturday night game show called 101 ways to leave a gameshow, so that is reassuring.

    PPS did you know that Mozart 'remixed' Handel's Messiah? He fiddled quite a lot with it and added a bunchy of strings.
