It's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!

You what? )

Today you were invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:

Andrew WK - Ready To Die

This is an attempt to use my own webspace again - the download rate is still limited, but nowhere near as fiercely as it was before. We'll give it a try, and so long as not everyone jumps on this link the instant it gets posted, we should be ok. And if not, I'll have to run crying to [livejournal.com profile] broadmeadow again.

I've written about the Andrew WK album, I Get Wet, on here before. The squeamish are warned that the album cover is a somewhat gruesome picture of a guy with a nosebleed. This is not music aimed at those with delicate sensibilities.

I described Party Hard, one of the album's singles, as "off-the-peg rebellion, partying, and fat riffs. It's a huge, dumb, silly romp of a track with staggeringly inane lyrics". That description applies just as well to Ready To Die - or indeed to any other track on the album.

I'd like to refer you to the standard BAYD disclaimer: I'm not claiming that any track provided to enable At-Desk Boogying is one of the world's best or most profound pieces of music. When someone compiles a list of epic albums of the decade, they will not even speculate about considering to begin to think about including I Get Wet.

However, some days you don't want epic. I Get Wet is robust enough to fight the noise of a hoover, put it on while you're cleaning up. It can withstand even the noise of my elderly car's rattling engine as I hammer up the motorway. There's room for everything in my world, and dammit sometimes I want big, fat, stompy, no-brain music.
