We Were Promised Jetpacks - “These Four Walls” - Buy It

text: daniel couch

We Were Promised Jetpacks find the patterns in static and draw out the soothing comfort of repetition. Brooding through the storm and the stress, each subtle shift in inflection adds another layer of meaning as centuries of sediment coalesce into four minutes. This is pop music. This is pop music.

Reminds us of: a Konica Minolta Bizhub Di3510 | New Day Rising | Frank Black’s spastic energy

song battle!!!

Two songs go in, one comes out. Pick a side.

Q-Tip - You
vs.
Common - Faithful

Columbus Short Would be an excellent match for Sam Cooke (especially if this movie was to include Sam’s Soul Stirrer years). Just as long as in the movie Sam does the singing of course lol. But as far as physical resemblance my boy Columbus Short all the way. View this clip of Cadillac Records were he played lil walter… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmxTbcnW6bY

Oops meant Aloe Blacc not Black. Sorry about the typo. If you doubt that he should play Sam check him out here on you tube singing Loving you is Killing me. The likeness is uncanny - but the voice is quite different.

I have read the Peter Guralnick book and it is thoroughly researched down to the minutest detail. Amazing.
I would go for Aloe Black because he looks so much like Sam, but for heaven’s sake why are we talking about the quality of the actor’s singing? Sam’s singing has got to be dubbed in. We want the real thing not an impersonator. There is only one Sam Cooke. The actor can act, let Sam do the songs.

John Boutte should play Sam Cooke. Except the point someone made about him dying young, this is true. Boutte may be a bit too old.

Blacks say the word 50+ times a day. Fuck the double standard, stop trying to create controversy.
