Thinking of a Dream I Had

Last night I had a dream that I had tickets to a Crystal Castles show that just happened to be taking place in my neighborhood. Awesome. Then I woke up. Awesome.

Not a Dream: The Replacements' Tim has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager. No doubt, I was the only kid in my neighborhood listening to that kind of stuff while Ja Rule was doing his best DMX impersonations all over car stereo systems. While usually a great idea, most cover songs suck. So I was a bit apprehensive about Kindness' attempt at the album's social function downer "Swinging Party;" but then I listened to it. The video, a collection of clips from educational films, aborted MGMT music videos (probably not), and at least one scene from Poltergeist, goes really well with the dreamy re-working of the song. Good stuff.
