Has anyone else noticed the odd trend towards giant men's watches? It's like people are going to start wearing sundials and old school alarm clocks on their wrists before it's all over. Anyone who saw Roberto Donadoni's watch at the Euro 2008 games will know exactly what I'm talking about. If you didn't...Google that shit.
With their obvious debts to Ennio Morricone and Angelo Badalamenti, Scottish post-rock bands like Tortoise and Mogwai always owed something to the cinema. But following Mogwai's work on 28 Day's Later, it seems like post-rock has become the defacto music for edgy, tense soundtracks. The backwards effect of this is to make even post-rock albums that pre-date this trend seem like soundtracks. I listen to this, and I expect to be stumbling upon Laura Palmer's body any second now.
