Man, it's been a dark autumn. Shitty weather, right wingers on a roll, wars, ethnic cleansing, cowardly politicians and hypocrits all around. And no surprises, my anxiety came a-knockin again. Knockin me off my feet. But I'm up again. This is what I was listening to when I was teetering.
Scott Walker - Clara
Is there a more inspiring album than The Drift? I had a rare moment of just getting transported and forgetting everything but art in the studio, and this is part of what did it. The sheer ambition, the negative amounts of fucks given, the giant leaps of associative creativity, the attention to detail... Scott Walker 4eva!
NZE NZE - Alu Da Ke Yang
Who knew that reinvented warrior songs of a Central African Bantu tribe was what I needed when my chest contracted?
Shovel Dance Collective - II: Pump organ bellows being pushed by hand, the River Chess trickles, The Watermans Dance
Highly recommend listening to this full album. It's a portal into ancient times.Mastodon - Crystal Skull
Again, an amazingly soothing album to listen to when your brain is in turmoil. Riffage to die for, stories to live for.Fleet Foxes - Silver Dagger (Solstice Version)
Long time fan of Joan Baez's version of this traditional, but Robin Pecknold's voice does something gorgeous to this melody, weaving the notes together into a beautiful shawl to wrap oneself in.
For I have been warned and I've decidedTo sleep alone all of my life
🇵🇸 Free Palestine! 🇵🇸
