MP3: Randy - Better than art
Nothing says summertime to me like some good-time punk rock'n'roll and no one's better at that than Randy. "Summer of bros" is the obvious perennial favorite, but since I've been jamming 2005's "Randy the band" this past week or so, I'm going with "Better than art" as today's mp3. It's an easy choice, especially when you consider that the lyrics spell out exactly why Randy is one of Sweden's best bands.
I don't consider myself all that smart / I've come this far by using only my heart
I wear my intentions on my sleeve / I'm not cynical I'm naïve
I try to be as honest as I can
What you now hear / is the same thing you hear
When you put your ear / close to my heart
And that's why why I like music better than art
It's ridiculous that these guys are currently without a label. Lord knows that if I had money I'd step up, but my fortunes don't seem to be changing for the better anytime soon. For now, I'll just try to abide by these words and try to stem the tide of my own cynicism.
