Truth And Lies
Introduction This was inspired by an Instagram post I stole that said: Then I thought about songs in my collection about truth and lies. I have lied a few times to get jobs, although I did have the confidence to know that I would be up to speed in a few days in the position, although I have been responsible for seeing some who had lied about their ability and then not able to do the job, out of the door.

Divorce - Drive to Goldenhammer - Album Review
I've been planning to review more music since the reviews I posted of Franz Ferdinand's The Human Fear and Mogwai's The Bad Fire. I loved the new album from Squid called Cowards—it's odd, and dark in context but with really interesting bright-sounding noises and strange lyrics. Very proggy too. I also love the new Japanese Breakfast album and the new Courting album. For today's review though, I wanted to talk about Divorce's debut album Drive to Goldenhammer.

'Beach Boys' Party!'
Nearing the end of 1965, Brian Wilson was on the brink of creating his masterwork. But the work that would become Pet Sounds was not yet completed, and the Beach Boys were contractually obligated to satisfy the record company with another LP. To appease Capitol Records, Brian and the Beach Boys released the non-album single "The Little Girl I Once Knew" in November 1965. The single did not chart high, unusual for the Beach Boys at that point in their career. It's commonly thought that radio play was the problem, as the record included two full stops into radio silence, perplexing deejays who at that time thought any silence to be an audience killer. Many considered the record to be one of the Boys' best, however, among them John Lennon of The Beatles.
