“Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death From Above”
The most exciting [CSS] songs for me are the ones that cut to the core of crushes and raw enthusiasm. “Patins” and “Let’s Make Love…” are floods of lust and confusion and fear and joy. I especially love the tossed off lines in “Let’s Make Love…”: “You’re so talented, I’m in love!” “You come to show me your mad love!” “Come and erase me take me with you!” and especially “You knew my ideas when they were still in my head!” Lovefoxxx has a real gift for expressing desire in complicated, nearly profound ways while also being funny and conversational. “Music Is My Hot Hot Sex” may be silly, but that’s exactly as it should be. Music is amazing, and beautiful, and for some people (people like me), incredibly incredibly important, but most often when you try to express that you end up sounding like some obnoxious Nick Hornby/Rick Moody jackass. Lovefoxxx and her crew found another way, and it’s totally right on. [Originally posted 7/21/2006]
