The Residents - Double Shot



01 - Double Shot (Swingin' Medallions)
02 - Loss of Loved One (Extended Version)
03 - Kiss of Flesh (Instrumental)

once upon a time The Residents were unquestionably awesome
anonymous artists utilizing cutting edge technology to make catchingly off-kilter pop on the verge of noise
my interest in them has dwindled as the artists become more open, the technology less relevant, and the music less unpredictable & engaging (albeit no less noisy: the 'Singing Resident' has shown a recent penchant for screaming over harmonising electric guitars)

this 30mm CD contains three tracks from the God In Three Persons arc of ≈ 1988
harrowing, synthetic, and relatable; a career high

Peter Kember's very first solo album
reminds me very much of the quieter moments of Playing With Fire
very druggy, quite high school, ultimately kind of reminds me of Twin Peaks

Lieven Martens - Wildlife Tapes / Portal Jams



A&B - Wildlife Tapes
C&D - Portal Jams

this might be a guy called Dolphins Into the Future 
once humans have transcended every thing that dolphins have, we will have no need for societal conventions ESPECIALLY musical because superficial expectations will be destroyed every millisecond by utter awe at the mystery of the gem-like beauty of every surface of World and the beauty of the gremlyn-like mystery to our existence
processed sounds reprocessed to remind humans of sounds they can't hear
JCL's pirate broadcast from within the ketamine tank

The Plasmodian World of Cantaloupe & Bolles / Experimental Audio Research - Walking / Floating

02 - Sound For Pan-Optikan

ok, so EAR some times makes junk bliss drone w analogue synthesizers that you can relax to, and that's what they do here on their track; the second track
The PWoC&B seems to be a similar outfit using similar synths to make similar sounds, but they use a sample on their track; the first track
cool artwork by Anthony Ausgang

Edward Gorey - The Eclectic Abecedarium

Betray no qualms
When asked for Alms.

A hidden Bird
Is often heard.

Pick up loose Crumbs
Upon your thumbs.

Look back before
You close a Door.

There is an Eye
Up in the sky.

It takes elan
To wield a Fan.

Beyond the Glass
We see life pass.

For catching Hail
Keep by a pail.

Be loathe to drink
Indian Ink.

Don't try to cram
The dog with Jam.

In sorting Kelp
Be quick to help.

Forbear to taste
Library Paste.

Be sure a Mouse
Lurks in the house.

A careless No
Leads on to woe.

Don't leave the shore
Without an Oar.

Request a Pill
When you are ill.

Find tasks to do
While in a Queue.

Attempt to cope
With tangled Rope.

See down the Sun
When day is done.

On any road
May sit a Toad.

Don't overturn
The garden Urn.

Beware the Vine
Which can entwine.

The way to Hell
Is down a Well.

The letter X
Was made to vex.

With every Yawn
A moment's gone.

The kitchen sink
Is made of Zinc.

04 - RTX-USA
05 - Kool Down Wheels
06 - Chances Are the Comets In Our Future
07 - Yin Jim Versus the Vomit Creatures

10 - Florida Avenue Theme
11 - Lick My Boots
12 - Glitterbust
13 - Funk Son
14 - Ratcreeps
15 - New York Avenue Bridge

this is, to my ears, the most accidentally good album - at least The Shaggs seemed to care about & enjoy their music
dope-shot bored & tossed-off for i don't know why
a little bit critically acclaimed, but i don't know any thing about Pussy Galore or JSBX
ultimately, you're not going to want to listen to this all the way through, and that's ok

Royal Trux - Twin Infinitives

Scritti Politti - "Absolute" & mix





absolute, on power drive
i need you so to keep me alive

Animal Collective - "My Girls"



lyrics that ring true: i don't mean to seem like i care about material things, like a social status
i just want four walls and Adobe slabs for my girls

hi-res

Wold - Screech Owl

03 - So That No Sword May Strike Him Down

09 - Gather Under Her Shadow
10 - A Sword Becomes Red With Fury
11 - Screech Owl
12 - I'm the Chisel
13 - Undying Fire of Urian

these past several years have given me dreadfully sad winters and a deeper understanding of black metal & ultimately emotion manifest through sound
this music is bleak, indistinct, and the aural space around it is stained grey; this music is gone, along with that penciled cover: it's hiding inside itself, behind lo-fi, so lo-fi screen
too much!, put it off til spring
