Junior Boys, Begone Dull Care and Royksopp, Junior Dryhump

I've really been struggling with what to write about these records because I want them to be things that they totally are not. The things that I want are not even things that are like the last albums. These albums are totally like the last albums. Hot roof party soundtracks. Sweaty tumblers, lots of skin and the anxious sheen of pre-summer. Too much sun on the cheeks and flirty eyes and the 'i'm shy but if we don't make out tonight you're gonna get such a pinch' smiles as you move your hips and try look sexy but with out getting too worked up and sweating through your shirt. Anyway. That's what these records are like.

I can't even really explain to you why but every time I would put either of these on I thought I was going to get the Ministry of Sound: Annual 2009. But once I finally 'got it' and accepted that that was not what i was going to get, I was able to relax and enjoy. I mean it's a party. It's just not a dance party. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I like these records and that I need to get MOS 2009 Annual and Clubbers Guides.
