28/15 - Spray Our Dreams On Any Surface Where The Paint Will Stick

A very, very summery week.

Mountain Goats - High Hawk Season

A barbershop call to arms from the kings of melancholy.

Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake

The Impressions - Fool For You

On the radio, in the car, on our way to some hard manual labour, came a reminder that I should seek out some more early Curtis Mayfield... Just listen to those stabbing horns, and look at those protruding teeth!

MC5 - Looking At You

Just random iTunes, picking out a song that I never thought much of in the context of the album, and showing me how tall and proud it stands on its own. That ascending guitar riff, shooting off out of nowhere! The whole song twisting and grooving claustrophobically. Like a tornado in a glass jar.

Cortex - 8-Oct-71

Thanks again to Run The Jewels for turning me on to odd tracks in their weekly radioshow.

bob hund - Bob Hund (live)

bob hund does everything right. Even the old cliche of a rock band performing with an orchestra is made into something brilliant.
