October is a month of mystery. I've happened upon the perfect music for its rainy black asphalt evenings.
Darkside - Golden Arrow
Oh. My. Another contender for album of the year just dropped.
Psychic is so beautiful, consistent and distinctly original I'm absolutely flabbergasted. And to lead off the album with this absolutely epic grower! Each minute the tension is brought up another notch, until at 8:00 - 8:30... musical orgasm.
The Walker Brothers - The Electrician
Watched
Scott Walker - 30 Century Man. A reminder that I want to be an artist for life, and that I want to be as diligent and uncompromising about it as Scott. Also a reminder that the second phase of his ingenious evolution started all the way back in 1978, with the reunion album
Nite Flights and this wonderfully evil song.
Laurie Anderson - My Right Eye
Unstoppable time. All the things you left behind.
In the night. In the night.
Concentration. Empty your mind.
Let the rest of the world go by.
Mock & Toof - Get Out the Way
Perfect break at 3:10. The rest of the tune sounds like
Martin Denny having a nightmare about a skyscraper-covered earth.
Arctic Monkeys - Knee Socks
Catchy as hell, and with a fantastic set of scene-setting lyrics:
You got the lights on in the afternoon
And the nights are drawn out long
And you're kissing to cut through the gloom
With a cough drop coloured tongue
And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
And I thought you might be mine
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
In the right place and time
