1. The Rapture - 'Out Of The Races & Onto The Tracks'

I became obsessed with this tune after watching the scene in The Rules of Attraction in which Ian Somerhalder's Paul is walking along at the outdoor party, Wicker Man burning away in the background, and gradually starts to shakeshakeshakeit until eventually he's dancing in a manner that borders on the absurd. (The pay-off being that it is absurd - he's winding up the 'straight' guy, Mitchell, who he clearly had a fling with at some point.) I guess I'd also heard the song here and there as well, and that opening call of "get y'self together!" had worked its way into some central part of my brain... Great to finally own a copy. I can scarcely believe the guy's singing "punishment - in higher places!" there at the end, but he really is. Don't know what it means, but in the way that makes the best lyrics so good, I know What It Means.

(And get your mind out of the gutter - this time...)
