On first listen, I didn't really see what made this new oso oso album that great. Then I re-listened and the melodies started boring their way into my brain.
I mentioned Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" in class, and one of my students then said "Oh, but Disturbed did it better!" I managed not to say anything after that, but it was hard. Oh, so very hard.
This new Jay Som album is just as solid as her first- I've been playing it on my phone daily since Friday. Can't wait to check the mailbox tomorrow and put it on my turntable.
I only have the 47 enticing new releases coming out today to listen to, plus I'm getting into Baroness's discography, so I hope my family is OK with me only listening to music and not talking to them for a week or so.
I was just remembering going through my dad's old CDs from the 80s and loving the page of instructions on how to use and care for a CD, including a warning that it will only work in a CD player, NOT a record player.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
I'm taking a long lunch and listening to Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery followed by Flamagra and I think I might be floating off into some kind of psychedelic cosmic realm guys help
A year ago, Stereolab were a weird blank spot in my 90s musical knowledge (like, I have no idea how I hadn't gotten into them before). Now I'm dropping all sorts of money on pre-orders of all their stuff.
