rolling away until one day I will rise from ashes or smth. best three album streak is three first LPs by La Dispute, btw
like a scene from the third Dark Tower book
Just been stopped in the street by a toothless man clutching two prescription packets. He wanted to know what brand my headphones are. After I told him he said “the rock group ZZ Top, yeah? Frank Beard hasn't got a beard”, repeating it for emphasis “Frank BEARD hasn't got a BEARD”

Gimic have better tees, but A Plague Of Gimps feels like one of those albums that stay with you for decades. I know which one my currently only imaginary kids will listen to first.
Was chatting with someone last night and they were saying this and the Gimic album are currently their one-two for the year and it's hard to not agree. Arguably polar opposite in sound but as we say, genre is nothing. What's around the sound is everything. Filing things is for accountants
A computer can never be held accountable...
haven't woken up for nothing today. god bless german sense of humour
Cindy und Burt - Der Hund Von Baskerville Superb early seventies German Sabbath cover, except they’ve changed all the lyrics so it’s all about The Hound of the Baskervilles. The crowd faces/jumpers on the TV footage are incredible. youtu.be/MwnFX0_H-rA?...
a dreaded sunny day, and you meet me at the cemetery gates (for cans)
The goths are on to something with this graveyard cans thing
this rings so true and I don't even know who that intruder is
When you’re making music, your instrument, whatever that is, that’s like your spätzle extruder, ok? You already mixed together the egg and the flour and whatever in your brain. With ideas. And then you press that mush through your instrument, your spätzle extruder, and that just shapes your spätzle.
slowly coming up with a cunning plan for a vacation in UK to see Kristin Hersh in London, then attend a United game against Bournemouth at OT, then HC in Newcastle or Lincoln. There also will be a few days between the game and HC to opportunistically go to Scotland if Mr Stevens will have a gig 😋
celebrating a WSR order shipped with another spin of. one of those "every time you see something new" sleeves
It was like listening to Peter Slavid's jazz podcast with an added twist of tinnitus.

yo seven years the country and still can't internalise that a day starts on the evening of a previous day, and _today_ it especially bums out
alright, deep work begins now (unless there's another Schwarzenegger cover that will have me in stitches)
When you hear a piece of music and it doesn’t sound good to you, this is probably because the music can tell you have a bad attitude and it doesn’t want to fully reveal itself.
home, home again. I like to be here when I can [because I can't listen to everything I like at the office. and today I endured listening to Miami Choir Boys singing Yerushalaim]
finally received it. ordered on April 18, shipped on June 26, arrived for a pickup a month later :/ but all is forgotten after the first spin, it just sounds heavenly
