My iPod #152: Nine Black Alps - Buy Nothing

I leave for university tomorrow, and I can't wait. So many opportunities waiting for me.... But wait.

Where does this leave "The iPod Times"? Is this finished will I ever get back to this. You'll have to wait for the last song of the 'B' series. Which is also tomorrow. I really don't know what I'll do.

"Buy Nothing" was released as a free download from the band's website, and was the first taste of new material in two years after their second album "Love/Hate".

I wasn't a huge fan of that album. The band had completely dumped their post-grunge/hard rock approach they had on "Everything Is" and replaced it with - what I think was supposed to be a more radio friendly sound - which just didn't work for me. It's an okay album, but that's really it.

"Buy Nothing" was the sign that everything had gone back to normal. It has a hell of a riff which drives the song along as lead singer San Forrest tells us to forget about the government, advertising and consumerism are meaningless. BUY NOTHING.

That's all there is to the song.  It's one of the heavier songs on "Locked Out from the Inside", it's one of my favourite songs by the band too.

(Sorry for the late post. I'm packing, you see.)
