Sugar Army : Hooks For Hands

The lead track from Sugar Army’s as-yet-unreleased second album shows a continuing fixation with Bloc Party-style angular indie rock. It’s kind of unconvincing at first, and maybe a little dated, but it turns all mad and electric in the chorus, music sweeping out like The Killers are wont to do while the lyrics only serve to confuse and alarm. “When you’ve got hooks for hands/The more good fortune that you have,” Patrick McLaughlin sings, as though that were a normal thing to pronounce in the middle of a pop song.

Been a pretty slow summer for movies so far, though Melancholia was pretty mindblowing. Looking forward to The Artist and Hugo. Should be a pretty big year with Prometheus and The Hobbit but!

Mercutio from "Romeo and Juliet", "A plague on both your houses" is a useful line to this day.

I like Brutus from 'julius caesar', an honorable man led down the garden path by those around him.
