My iPod #93: be your own PET - Bicycle, Bicycle, You Are My Bicycle


 Ah... the joys of riding a bicycle. Something I can't relate to seeing as I've never owned one. However, it's an activity that be your own PET profoundly express their fondness in this song, and in just over two minutes.

The band are a force that ought to be recognised according to the track. The sky will turn brown, they'll change the eye colour of every lady (which could only suggest that some violence may occur), the sleepyheads will wake up due to their presence, they'll fuck shit up too! All this because they are on their bicycles, because cars are for idiots.

I didn't even make that paragraph up, those are all lyrics in the song. These are backed up with a very aggressively shouted vocal by lead singer Jemina Pearl and the rest of the band, and a rapid guitar riff capturing the urgency of theme. The instrumental break fools you for a bit, starting off slow like a train pulling out of a station but it then gradually becomes faster and faster before returning back to its normal velocity and in regards to the song, the final verse and chorus.

They're on two wheels, baby.

Until tomorrow.

Jamie.
