not gonna let you be the winner, not without a fight
There’s a sweet spot of ineffable cool that you have when you’re ten years old that you never get again.
For me, my dance moves were never as sweet or as futuristic as when I saw Captain E.O. at Disneyland when I was ten. I can remember tapping my toes on the (rumbling, jolting) ground and dancing in my (moving) seat. This new song from Jamie Lidell immediately invoked those exact same feelings in me when I listened to it this morning, from the get-go with those mysterious opening notes. I can practically smell the dry ice. Grown-up me is not nearly as cool as ten-year-old me, but this did lead to some dangerously impressive run-dance moves on the treadmill in my basement today.

Jamie Lidell has been a complete badass in my book since I heard Multiply in 2005. His new album is self-titled, and you should get it right now. Your dance moves need some EOing.
