Fridays could use more fun. Therefore I’m instituting “Friday Fun!” on this blog. Why? Because gray skies are turning black. Because I’m not at the edge of darkness, I’m in the heart of it. Because I heard this song this morning and I wanted to share it.

I’ve seen The Ravonettes live twice at SXSW and while I like them, I’m not wild about their live show. What gets me juiced is listening to them while driving. This first happened after driving home from seeing Chrissy, a PhD candidate from UC Riverside that has since broken my heart twice. I hit the road around 3 AM, no one was on the freeway and my iPod was set to play my latest eMusic downloads. That’s when I first heard “Lust Lust Lust” by The Ravonettes and that terrible drive was transformed into a lone wolf’s nocturnal swagger across asphalt highways.
Now I haven’t heard the new album in its entirety but if this one song not only got me to post this but also institute a whole new subcategory of post, you’d think it’s gotta be worth it, no? FYI, thanks to Stereogum for the free MP3.
