So... this is not my favorite song or quote, but they're my favorite lyrics of the moment. Have you gotten tired of me talking about how amazing Rizzle Kicks are?! I love their rhymes and their sound and their style. THEY ARE SO FUCKING CLEVER.

i'm last on the heaven list
'cause i couldn't give a rass what angelic is
even my laughter is venomous
denis is not even half what this menace is
          -- "Prophet (Better Watch It)" by Rizzle Kicks


Wow, just realized I misspelled "venomous" when I wrote it. #FAIL

List of all days.

Being asked "What's your favorite song?" is a big love/hate thing with me. I love talking about music, especially songs I like! BUT. THERE ARE SO MANY. How can I possibly choose ONE? I'm not sure whether most people just assume that the "...right now" is unspoken-but-implied, but I never have automatically added those words onto the question. It took me the longest time to realize that they could be, and to not feel guilty about it. (Seriously, I know, I am a ridiculous person with baffling neuroses.)

So in light of all that, my current favorite song is Miss Cigarette by Rizzle Kicks. I absolutely cannot get enough of this song. Even when I've burnt myself out on some of the duo's other songs, I can't help but sing along with this one. Personification of an addiction isn't exactly the newest thing under the sun, but I just love Jordan's word play; his lyrics and rhymes resonate with me in a way not many other artists' do.

Favorite line: she's always there when i'm by myself and i can't remain solitary



List of all days.

So, that indie hip hop duo, Rizzle Kicks? That I LOOOOOOOVVVVVE much more than anyone expects I should? They just released another song with a fucking amazing video. Again. They are just so fresh, unique, with awesome rhymes and rhythms and ideas no one else is doing. I can't get enough of their stuff -- next time I visit London I need to plan it so that I can see them live.



If you thought their sound or video was interesting, check out my faves:

Miss Cigarette
Down With the Trumpets

Burning Stuff/Fly Me to the Moon


ETA: So yes, this video WAS in fact put together from 960 long-exposure stills, taken by Toby Lockerbie.
