03/15 - No Ebb Or Flood Will Ever Come

A very good week. Almost all the pieces fell into place.


Zs - Weakling
Time: Thursday.
Place: In the studio.
Feelings: Wowowow.
Of note: Read a review on Pitchfork in the morning. Put the album on as soon as I got to the studio. Loved it. This week I only wanted weird music, and this is quite out there.


Aphex Twin - diskhat1
Time: Tuesday morning.
Place: In the studio.
Feelings: Twitches.
Of note: Finally treated myself to the new Aphex album, and hardly had I done so before he released another, even better, record!


Swans - A Little God In My Hands
Time: Wednesday eve.
Place: In the studio.
Feelings: Power. Strength.
Of note: If you don't listen to this album LOUD and in its entirety, you shouldn't listen to it at all. Which I'm of course contradicting by putting this on a list, but hey, somehow I need to at least refer to the enormous amount of energy I drew from this while finishing up my concrete casts.


Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Mladic
Time: Earlier on Wednesday eve.
Place: In the studio.
Feelings: "I can do anything"
Of note: Sometimes I think the main reason for me doing art is so that I can listen to loud muic late at night in the studio. There is hardly anything better than hammering on a bit of concrete while immersed in post rock.

Love - Alone Again Or
Time: Thursday morning
Place: Walking to the bus.
Feelings: A little bit of joy, maybe.
Of note: Is this one of the best songs ever? Yes, probably. "I think that people are the greatest fun. But I will be alone again tonight my dear."
