Dusty Chalk

Warpaint's first EP, Exquisite Corpse -- I'm familiar with about half of it, because of this concert, which I've listened to, about a brazillion times since its release a couple years ago: You wouldn't think I'd like this, but there's something about this song-oriented laid-back jamband-ish grooviness that carries a very particular charisma for me, hitting me at the same level as doomy stoner. They also make me think of a less testosterone-y* Black Midi, in their free-form stylings. *Yes, that probably rhymes with some sort of pasta.

Science today; album covers tomorrow.

Condolences, Chris.

Damn

Happy birthday, Jose! (party favour noise)

Happy birthday, Birgir! (party favour noise)

I'm just glad you finally got around to trying out this album. Day & Age (current album) is fantastic, too. Madlad just bought a Fairlight.

Happy birthday, Greg! (party favour noise)

I cannae get drunk enough to make me feel better about what happened in SC(r)OTUS...but memes of Lake Superior throwing shade...they make me feel somewhat better.

Joey Alexander -- freakin' CHILD good at jazz under 20 and already has 6 albums out? WTAF

Happy birthday, head Headamp guy! (that's actually a lot of fun to say out loud) (party favour noise)

I'm a huge fan of Nando's (marinade, not rub). I prefer it on chicken, but it works well on pork as well.

New Porcupine Tree -- sounds like they picked up where they left off after an almost 13 year hiatus. Mehappy.

Condolences, Jeff.

But there i...oh, you said, "easy"...

(party favour noise) (Sorry, had to)

Was trying to think of something snarky yet respectful to say...came up with this: Sorry, couldn't figure out a way to work "brexit" in.

Dir en Grey, Phalaris Extreme metal, proggy

Having made Thai curry from ingredients, I highly recommend trying the recipe -- you get the additional uncredited ingredient of *pride*, which just makes everything better.

Me, though: Gentle Giant, Playing the Fool (The Official Live)

Just some of the things I've been listening to over the past month:

Did you watch them on Marc Rebillet's/AmazonMusic's twitch stream last night, "We Got Company"? It was pretty fun. Looks like it got taken down (probably because they swore and played Twister).
