In lieu of a ‘normal’ album review, this is what comes to mind when I listen to Turn On The Bright Lights (yes, I like lists):

1. The Breeders floating in space.
2. A sarcastic Ian Curtis.
3. A porn flic being filmed in a Subway sandwich shop.
4. A metronome.
5. A kick drum, a mic, and a monitor next to my ear.
6. A reverb box in the back of an amplifier.

FYI: this album is great for:

1. Driving on the highway with the windows down.
2. Headphone-listening at work.
3. Saturday morning breakfast.
4. Those days at work when your group nearly gets reorg’d into oblivion.
