“Drumming Song,” Florence + the Machine. On one hand, Florence Welch wants to be nearer to her lover; on the other hand, the love is consuming her, and driving her more than a little insane. The music is equally hot and bothered; the track lives up to its title with a series of gunshot drum parts that build to shattering crescendos. The Machine goes out of its way to convey a sense of enormity, of being overwhelmed — a sound that happens to match Welch’s lyrics perfectly. Of everything I listened to this year, “Drumming Song” was the only thing to cause a physical reaction in me: Every time I hear it, my chest tightens. It’s a lusty heart attack of a song, and one of the year’s best. Nov. 5, 2009
In college I enjoyed playing an annoying game where, whenever I was watching a movie in the theater and one of the actors said the title of that movie, I would lean over to a friend and whisper-shout, “Aaaaaaaaand we have a title!” Well, today Gabe Videogum made my month by organizing a collection of such moments into a delightful supercut.

Initially, it was like, “What?!” But Thom Yorke did it, and we like him. It’s like: “If dad does it, it’s OK, right?” Radiohead are like parents of good modern rock ‘n’ roll in certain ways. They paved that path.

Somehow losing by this tiny margin is brutalizing. And because this is a vote on my dignity as a human being, it is hard not to take it personally or emotionally. But I also know that the history of civil rights movements has many steps backward as forward, and some of those reversals actually catalyze the convictions that lead to victories. A decade ago, the marriage issue was toxic. Now it divides evenly. Soon, it will win everywhere. I know for many younger gays and lesbians, this process can seem bewildering and hurtful. But I’m old enough now to be able to look back and see the hill we have climbed in such a short amount of time, and the minds and hearts we have changed. Including our own. Know hope. — Andrew Sullivan on Maine.
