J'ai cette photo que j'ai prise il y a quelques mois. Au verso,
au crayon gris, j'ai écrit : centre de l'univers. Je ne sais pas
pourquoi. Est ce parce que ça ressemble à un tapis volant flou ?
J'ai aussi deux disques aux origines géographiques éloignées mais
consonantes. Oslo et Tulsa.
D'Oslo, Jørgen 'Sissyfus' Skjulstad, dont le grain de voix m'évoque
celui de Momus, s'organise en Center of the Universe.
De Tulsa, Center of the Universe est le titre du nouvel album d'Admiral
Twin, qui joue, en trio et sans façon, une power pop à la séduction immédiate.
A Tulsa, il y a un endroit, une passerelle, un cercle de briques et de béton,
aux propriétés acoustiques étranges : center of the universe.
(englikhtonian version)
I have this picture that I took a few months ago. On the back, in
pencil gray, I wrote: centre of the universe. I do not know why.
Is it because it looks like a blurred flying carpet?
I also have two discs from distant geographical origins but quite
consonant. Oslo and Tulsa.
From Oslo, Jørgen 'Sissyfus' Skjulstad, whose voice recalls me,
someway sometimes, of Momus, gets organized in Center of the Universe.
From Tulsa, Center of the Universe is the title of the Admiral Twin's
new album. Instant pleasure power pop.
In Tulsa, there's a place, downtown, a brick and concrete circle with some
strange echoing properties. Center of the universe, it is called.

Nice connection.
But for some reason the photo reminds me more of a different Admiral Twin song. "A Box Under His Bed" from Unlucky. You can hear it here:

(Swingbox is the same song done with a different style)
It's a song about secrets.

You're absolutely right. It will be a better choice as I love the idea that the center of the world is in a box hidden (or not) under my bed. I chose the "swingbox" version as it fits with contrast podcast's theme of the week : 1997.
