IN WHICH I REVEAL THAT I LIKE FLYING CARS

The roommate and I watched part of Back To The Future Part II last week (it was on TV). Man, that movie has not aged well. I mean, I saw part of the first Star Wars this weekend, and all or most of the sci-fi crap in that movie still holds at least some allure, and that's thirty plus years later. Apparently, movie-makers in 1989 had a vision of the future that was basically exactly like 1989, except with the occasional flying car, and no doorknobs.

Remember that flying car? The Delorean. Who cares that it traveled through time... look at the doors. That's AWESOME.

Compared to 1989, it is definitely the future now. So where are the flying cars, huh? Our cars don't even have cool doors. And I guess music of late has been stuck in the 80s for quite some time.


Not that I'm complaining (about the music; I still want a flying car). Here's the messy transition you've all been waiting for: at least we have Delorean... THE BAND. I actually don't know if they're really a "band", per se. I really can't find much info on Delorean, except that they're on Defiance Records, they have The Metropolitan Death LP coming out "soon", and apparently they have rad taste in robot masks.

Their LP is what the future-radio implanted in your future-brain would automatically tune in for when you're breaking all the air-speed-limits and partying in your flying car. A tiny bit like the Rapture (vox wise especially) but if they were explicitly a dance group and not a band. I'd link to the mp3s they're supposed to have up on their section at Defiance, but those links are down, so here's a YSI of "Metropolitan Death 1" from aforementioned, currently unreleased LP. I mean, at least that's what I think it is. I haven't been able to double check. Poor journalism and blogging... who'da thunkit.
