Lightspeed Champion!

I’ve spent most of today cleaning at work. I swear I could’ve made Crystal Meth and sold it there and then. I obviously didn’t but the smell of the cleaning products went to my head a little bit. I went to Marks & Spencers and got ripped off..again! The juice I got was pretty good though.Was tropical, if you must know.

Anyway.

I remember first listening to Test Icicles thinking something along the lines of “FUCK ME THIS BAND IS AWESOME.” Then when they split up, it was a sad day. BUT, from it we have a band called Kasms and of course…Lightspeed Champion. Why is Dev Hynes cool? Because he loves Weezer and The Str0kes. This alone makes him a wonderful human being. He’s also covered some of their songs and doesn’t butcher them. To be honest, Dev could cover something shit by someone shit say…Britney Spears? and make it decent. Anyone else think he could make Womanizer sound half decent? I know All American Rejects did a good cover of it, but I reckon Dev could make it decent.

Personally, I think he’s underrrated. Not just as a singer but as a songwirter and guitarist. Anyone who has seen him live will know just how amazing his guitar skills are.

Don’t believe me? Watch this :

Lightspeed Champion-Midnight Surpise.(Live).

It’s about 10 minutes long and it is beautiful. I do like songs that go on for over 5 minutes..and well, Midnight Surprise is just an epic song that you cannnot get bored of.
