Cat class and cat style on this week’s playlist. Cats are weird machines: Strong, clever, naughty, social, antisocial, divine when needed, and so humble we think.
“Humility is for you, not me,” says cat, “Black and orange stray cat sittin’ on a fence–I ain’t got enough dough to pay the rent. I’m flat broke, but I don’t care, I strut right by with my tail in the air.” Simple and wise meows by these creatures on microphones, guitars, basses and drums (don’t mess with the drummer). As for the rest of the gangs, well, cats know how to behave and respect the electronic cat and the pitch black mass on synths too yup, communion. Some other creatures which have bigger and more abstruse needs tried to convince the cosmos that they are the primal, the chosen, the most intelligent of all, yeah I see…yeah…the intelligent! Be the cat in life!
