Elder, Gold & Silver Sessions

He even got the optimal headphone haircut.

One of my favourite sets as well.

The Good Place Laughs aplenty

Two bands I saw last night: Holy Fawn dirges prettily -- listen to the first couple of seconds, if that doesn't hook you in, then it's not for you -- "Loud Heavy Pretty Noises" is pretty spot on -- imagine a more metally Sigur Ros. https://holyfawn.bandcamp.com/ Vasudeva are pretty much what I said, whimsical mathrock: https://vasudeva.bandcamp.com/

I see boobies.

Saw Covet last night, they were awesome. Hot and sweaty sold out crowd, not so much, but I finally got to see Yvette Young live (and I even got to say, "hi", although not much more), and hearing this organic music live is so different from watching YouTube videos. Openers Holy Fawn (video below, sort of Sigur Ros, with the occasional Cradle of Filth "witchy poo" metal scream) and Vasudeva (whimsical math rock) were the perfect openers. I have a couple minutes of footage of sweaty backs while Covet is playing on my phone, so here's this instead:

Ian Boddy

One of my most listened to albums of all time. Neo-classical

Yes, of course I started listening to it because of the cover. It's actually more progressive than stoner, I don't think I could listen to this at work -- it would take up too much of my brain. But I do like it quite much. Lots of changes and unorthodox chord progressions.

Egad.

What are you listening to? I'm streaming it from the BandCamp page, and it's not particularly bad. It's a bit bright, but...Yamaha NS10 bright, not brickwall distortion bright. And yes, fatiguing, but not the worst I've heard (the worst I've heard is The Cross' Justice). I even ran it through Audacity (using SoundFlower) to analyze it, and it doesn't look particularly heinous:

I ordered two CDs. I like this kind of trio's (piano, bass and drum). Not as good as my E.S.T but very pleasant. GoGo Penguin? Yeah, they're pretty great. I really dig GoGo Penguin, this is the kind of music I tend to make. It sounds like jazz, but it's not really improvised. Everyone compares them to Esbjörn Svensson Trio, I should probably listen to them. Me, now: probably the standout from the above four collections of "heavy psych" -- to me, this is more Krautrock/the sounds of friends just sitting around jamming melodically: https://heavypsychsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mother-engine-hangar

Interesting -- I got hit several months ago (not 7, though), and I haven't found the time to get it fixed, neither. I also scraped my car myself several years ago, and decided to get it fixed at the same time, and because I waited so long to report it, I have to be investigated. Even though I admitted I did it to myself. So.. just some advice -- get around to it, so you don't go into that "investigated" bureaucratic black hole. Also: fuck fuckers who can't drive. And yes, I realize I just told myself to go fuck myself...speaking of black holes...

Long since finished Wise Man’s Fear; read everything by “Forthright”; now reading the Mistborn series, on book 3.

Bottom half is a waveform with a healthy dynamic range.

Gah, they should’ve used olde English: “Whosoever pulleth out the knife is the true born king of all of Texas.”

Can hear you, can't chat.
