I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness - When You Go Out
Suddenly dance music was everywhere and people were freaking out. Until the middle of 2002, most popular music had no beat. Drone ruled the radio. Stars of the Lid were talked about in some circles as dual presidential candidates. Dancing was a thing of the past: for geezers only. We all knew old men and women who did the twist, the foxtrot, the Tennessee Tussle at the drop of a hat, or at the slightest hint of a Chubby Checker song. Then something changed. Rhythm. Musicians found it again, and found it in a big way. They found it so hard that dance beats were in everything: shampoo commercials, audiobooks, poolside PA announcements. Everything. Young people learned how to bend their knees again. How to sway with the music. How to contort their bodies in ever more spinally risky ways. People understood: so this was fun.[Buy the ILYBICD EP (produced by Britt Daniel)]
