Talk About The Rapture: The Song In My Head Today

TheRapture "House Of Jealous Lovers."

Haven't done this in a while, and it's a rare occasion when I can actually tie in my music tastes to a theme day. In, um, honor of today's coming apocalypse here we have NYC band The Rapture grinding through "House of Jealous Lovers." You gotta love their lo-fi sound, frankly amazing rhythm section (that fluid and funky bass work deserves special mention), a guitarist who appears to be tuning the instrument during the solo, a singer who sounds like he's on work-release from a mental institution, and cowbell-- plenty of cowbell. Actually, it's a fun song and an inventive, kinetic video. WARNING: The song starts about :15 seconds into the video (hold tight), and depending on your level of comfort, there are images of a cartoon duck taking a cartoon dookie for a total of 2 seconds. So there. Enjoy!
