Crystal Castles - "Alice Practice"
I can't tell you what I like until I hear it.
I hear a teenage girl ripping her robot heart out in front of her parents. It's 4a.m. and they were asleep. That night, they had caught their android daughter in the arms of a human girl when they came home. Driving the human girl home, the father told her that her love was misplaced, that his daughter and her had nothing in common, that his daughter was computer-based and couldn't provide what another human girl (or boy, whatever you like) could provide, and that she should just leave her alone. Around 2:30 that night, on instant messenger, the android girl, hyperventilating from the tears, received the message that the human girl knew all about her android nature, and even kind of made fun of her kissing. It wasn't long before she completely unraveled, and climbed the carpeted stairs to her parents' bedroom. [site]
perfect.

awesome blog by the way, I've been a faithful reader for quite some time (although I do very rarely post comments). So yep, thanx for the music, and the love, and the love of music!
Have a good weekend boys!
salam alaikum!

Posted by eff at February 4, 2007 6:55 PMSo..I've been a fan of crystal castles for about a week now. Air war is porbably my personal favorite but they way you have described their style..or setting of mood..the whole story you added has maybe made me love them even more. What an awesome little story you've conjured. and it totally works. you're neat. :]
