  • The other b-side of Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair, The Blond-O-Sonic Shimmer Trap! Again, it's a humbug-influenced song, that i think that are way better from many songs from the album. Enjoy it!

      Tbf to me this feels just like a slightly more Humbug-ish SIAS song, not getting much Favourite Worst Nightmare by comparison to those two.

      I suppose they chose "All My Own Stunts" over this on and rightfully so. The ending riff probably was inspired from this.

    Iconic
    Black as a beacon
    In a river of shimmering fog
    Yes she was
    If you were heat-seeking
    She was hard to ignore
    Yes she was
    And she snapped
    Wing mirrors off of Cadillacs
    The particularly pretty ones
    And that
    Meant she never had to strain her back
    When she was putting her lippy on
    Well, time tastes bland
    When she's not around
    And you'd sit and you'd sink and approach the brink
    Before she showed you how to shake love's steady hand
    That knows
    And she snapped
    Wing mirrors off of Cadillacs
    The particularly pretty ones
    And that
    Meant she never had to strain her back
    When she was putting her lippy on
    Shake love's steady hand
    Shake love's steady
    She floats like a niccy rush but she stings like a B-flat
    The Blond-o-Sonic Shimmer Trap
    And she snapped
    Wing mirrors off of Cadillacs
    The particularly pretty ones
    And that
    Meant she never had to strain her back
    When she was putting her lippy on

    Es que eso tiene que ver con la mentilidad de uno, generalmente no lo hacen no porque no les guste sino porque tienen esa retodica forma de pensar que lo nuevo siempre es malo y nunca avanzan, esa gente con mentalidad a lo oldschool que no lleva a nada.
    Personalmente no hago diferencia de albums, me gusta desde el primer tema, desde el primer b-side hasta el ultimo... no hay un solo tema de los monos que me disguste. Aunque si debo admitir que hasta ahora Humbug me dejo shockeado, es sublime.
