Monthly I meet with friends for "Rock Club". Each month there are themes and parameters you must try to stay within. That format is constraining, especially to my ADHD addled mind. You never know when that visceral connection with a song will steal your heart for three minutes. Occasionally themes are simply so difficult to adhere to that I just bring whatever moves me at the moment. In October 2010, Psychic Chasms from Neon Indian was what I connected to. This is a melting pot of sounds that can't help but remind one of past eras, specific groups, occasionally even specific songs. And yet it sounds like it couldn't possibly have been produced in an earlier time. This song, Terminally Chill, clearly outside the prescribed theme and unlikely to fit into any future themes, will be on my list. The brilliance justifies the digression.
