Prodigy Present: The Dirtchamber Sessions, Volume One:

Good morning!

Egberto Gismonti - Solo.

Love this album. 

Isaac Hayes - The Spirit Of Memphis (1962-1976).

Okay, that's not confusing at all: "Southern Gothic prog-rock/proto-metal" band, Whiteside's Daughter, are providing the first act of a rock opera for free, and it's about James, the gay son of an Alabama Pentecostal preacher, who in high school rebels and falls in with John, his ex-Baptist atheist classmate and guitarist for a high school death metal band called Village Witch.

Do you remember this?

 

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds playlist, starting with Skeleton Tree and working my way backwards.

Skeleton Tree is intoxicatingly depressing so matching my mood nicely.

The weather outside is beautiful, though, hard to stay depressed when it's so temperate.

Enjoying this quite a lot more than I expected. Can not claim it's a sober assessment though.

I saw Xanadu in the theater when I was 6. And owned the soundtrack.

I was in College.

While in truth, I have been listening to Bitches Brew too much lately, what I choose to link is this:

It is a dangerous earworm and has been stuck in my head for the last week. Fuck you, Tim Minchin, you talented bastard. Someone else can suffer now.

Patsy Cline - Greatest Hits

Listened to this last night. I've always been a sucker for a great alto voice and Patsy sure was one of the greats. Taken from us way too soon.

 

Very much looking forward to the new Jon Hopkins album on the 4th of May.

 

 

Vinyl....

 

This was introduced to me by my redheaded college girlfriend at the time and always brings back fond recollections of a couple of other things she showed me.

But seriously, how can 1993 be a QUARTER OF A CENTURY ago? Some of it is now a bit close to the bone as an old guy.

Quote

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame.
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream.
Open up your eyes, you can see the flames, flames, flames
Of your wasted life. You should be ashamed.

Even more seriously, how could I have been 40 then?  And you're right, those lyrics hit hard.

Edit:

Thinking about this made me feel real old.  So I decided to rock out on:

Lover's Waltz by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason

and Putamayo Presents, Tango Around the World

I feel much better now.

Sorry that was heavier than intended -- blame Sunday Night Syndrome!

I'm now committed to 1993, so:

The Verve -- A Storm In Heaven

Such space-y goodness.

Here's some more SNS material! One of the best with which to ponder existence.

 

 

I'm done pining, but I still really like the song Again by Archive -- it's like a cross between Pink Floyd (Dogs-ish) and late era Talk Talk (especially with the harmonica solos).  That said, I've been mostly listening to Gabriel Le Mar.  It's almost as good as a night of Testtone.

Oh, and this happy shit:

No, seriously, listen to this, it's actually really pretty:

Mellow.
