web page hit counter Poison Ninjas

Tuesday, May 09, 2006

I have this image in my head of a boreal kiss, but I can't visualize it. It's like some sort of ethereal kiss where lips never touch and delicate layers of nothingness define everything. This song feels like a moment in a dream.

Tim Hecker- Boreal Kiss


I can't describe this song without sounding like some tired third-tier blogger, but this song is fucking beautiful. The strings sound like they're bleeding, and it makes dysphoria feel as if it makes perfect sense.

Windup Bird- Sorry


Hum for 6 minutes and feel your heartbeat. It's all very meta.

Kaije Haino and Peter Brotzman- Berlin

-John

i'm losing respect for hipinion. look at these lame ass college pseudo-indie post-emo bullshit top 10 lists.

pathetic. i'm appalled.

i like the lists because that's what kids actually listen to. lists seem genuine. and also all the badass drone/noise users don't bother posting their lists. because they're too badass.

the overall music consensus is just a coincidence anyway. we all know they're only there for the myspace youngn's.

i don't see anything wrong with the lists. i like all of those bands.

Hey John you should check out the new Sufjan Disc. The avalanche is fantastic!

The avalanche is the New LP of extras off of illinois. It is fantastic it leaked if you want it. Also he is still doing the 50 states project. For states like rhoad island he will be doing EPs though.

I'm seeing Pearl Jam and My morning jacket tuesday pretty pumped about that. Give me a call sometime this week we should get together. I'm going to a kegger/BBQ wednesday if you wanna stop by.

i always pull out you made me realise because it's the closest sounding thing to the cocteau twins.

i meant treasure>heaven or las vegas. i take it back now cause at the time it made a lot more sense.
