Dead To Me is a punk rock
band from San Francisco, founded by members of One Man Army and Western
Addiction. I'm a sucker for great, bouncy, melodic music that has an
edge, especially when the lyrics are darker than the music would have
you believe. I have gone for the track I Wanna Die In Los Angeles which
addresses the bleak realisation that if a relapse into drug addiction
occurs they might as well say they wanna die in Los Angeles. All this is
set to buzzing pop punk that manages to turn these lyrics into a
massive sing-along. Great track.
A vision of walking around and imagining my Walkman headphones were actually giant speakers accompanying me forcing the world into dancing and performing their tasks to my music. If I had giant speakers up in the sky blasting my own music then everywhere I went people would have to listen to my music and the world would have a uniform emotion, a sort of interconnectedness. Like an unrelenting soundtrack to which everyone must acquiesce… These are my speakers in the sky.
