Stay Positive - The Death Set, ''Negative Thinking"

I'm really supposed not to like that: the homemade feeling of incompletion, the predictable bass line that kicks in right in time for the chorus, the polaroid nostalgia, the a priori unsubstantial hedonism..
Well, that would be negative thinking. Fuck that.
This song is ace, infusing DIY vibes, 2.14 minutes of raw joyful intensity, no tricks, verse, chorus, instrumental break, verse, chorus, the end. Springtime in February my friend. And the polaroids are top too: blood, sweat, live music, beards and whiskers, lucha libre wrestler..
Contrary to its title, ''Negative Thinking" entails a thrive for renewal, spurring to get rid of the remnants of the past, to live by oneself, for oneself ( ''In hindsight I don't want to be like the people I've liked'').
Allright now get your guitar and form a band. Or get your dancing shoes and stamp on the dancefloor. No? Get a pen and write a pamphlet. Whatever. Good luck anyway.
