Music reviews of Dead Media
Music Review: Listed under "Top Down" on playlist!
Rating: 5 Stars
Not because I can get away with it, nor would anyone want me to take my top off these days, but this is coming from an 40+ American who bought this album only because it had ALAN BEAN on it! Had no clue if it would be about the fourth astronaut on the moon but I thought I'd give it a try. I now own 2 extras that no one's allowed to open. I may have missed the meaning of the song being too old and a yankee to boot but to me it sounds like they met Alan Bean and wrote a song about him that was dead to rights. To the die hard fans this story may not appeal to you, but after I spend the day at a school telling them all about the Apollo project but especially Alan Bean I put this song on and within a chorus or two their singing their hearts out with all but lighters in the air! I wish I had video! So about my ipod playlist...when I'm down and need a lift I put Alan Bean in and hit repeat and play it as loud as my kids allow, though I figure they can get out and walk if they don't like it! Before I get where I'm going I've already forgotten why I thought I should give up! So I have it framed now, the bands intentions or not, it gets me through another day because I love Alan Bean, the spirit of the song and the great music that it is!
"Everyone will forget soon,
The fourth man on the moon,
But I've got it in my mind.
I'd like to paint your eyes,
But I've got to paint the sky.
Going to be a painter all my life.
As we tumbled down to earth,
We felt the capsule turn,
We saw the blue skies burn.
As we splashed down in the sea,
You were praying on your knees,
It bought a change in me.
And what you didn't see,
I'll let you see through me.
I'm going to paint the moon for you.
Ever felt like giving up?
'We've felt like giving up'
Ever felt like giving up?
Not since 1969."

Description of Dead Media
Dead Media is Hefner's fifth album. Too Pure Records.Dead Media is Hefner's fifth album in four years. They have slowed down and have become a little less awkward and angry since their abrasive embryonic stages as South England's answer to Pavement on 1998's Breaking God's Heart. The hooks and smart words are still in much evidence, though, on such songs as the snappy, analogue synthesizer-led "When the Angels Play Their Drum Machines" and their melancholy tribute to the fourth astronaut to walk on the moon, "Alan Bean." The quartet may be prolific, but there's certainly no diluting the quality. Darren Hayman still has a way of singing so plaintively as to break your heart, and the music is now a gentle hybrid of Joe Meek, early electronic pop pioneers, Daniel Miller's Silicon Teens, someone all alt-dot-country and soulful (Giant Sand, say), and something else altogether. This is an understated gem. --Everett True
