Andydicktracymorganfreeman - Demo
1. I love the name. Love it, loooove it. I love how it gets progressively "blacker." Witty.
2. The demo is siqqqq. Really good stuff. Sounds like mediocre post-rock bullshit for a hot second, and then I just really start feeling it. Even if someone could call it "generic," it's just good shit. Atmospheric, the pedal-work is pretty good, while I do feel like it tends to drag on (what post-rock doesnt, honestly?), they bring it back just at the right time. I'm looking out for these guys.
3. They're cute.

01. Blonde Redhead - 42

I go on these ridiculous Blonde Redhead binges, all I was listening to was In Particular over & over, remembering why I got into this band in the first place. I only started listening to Blonde Redhead in 2004 when I first heard Misery is a Butterfly. I can't think of a track that I don't like on that album, which leads me to listen to it in full. I only have 5 Blonde Redhead albums, but the ones I listened to…

I just don't know what to think about the new Explosions in the Sky.
I loved it, I really did.
I just wanted to be beaten into submission
& all I got was this lousy teeshirt.

Just kidding.

All I got was a deck in the face.

I don't know.

Maybe tomorrow will be different.

But I'll listen to it until I hear it the way it's supposed to be heard.

Jesus Christ, this might take years.
Tell me that's never happened to you,
& you're a big fucking liar.
It always sounds different a couple years later.

Goodnight.…

Birdflesh is fucking insane.
Swedish grind, choke me.

I'm getting pretty bored with music lately. It is beyond depressing. I'm actually listening to fucking Radiohead, like really, for the first time since I was in eighth grade. Weird. I mean, I always had a strong appreciation for Kid A and OK Computer, and even The Bends. I must admit, though, that I've always found their fanbase to be a little more pompous than most, as if it's some sort of amazing gift that you listen to Radiohead & take them seriously! They're progressive, they maintain their artistic voice though they're on a major label,…

"For thousands of miles
I waited for you
I walked backwards through landmines
But time changes everything
I wished impossible things on blue stars
That never came true
I'm still waiting"

Funeral Diner's Syncope is basically my favorite song.
There are other that are better, that I adore.
I just happen to be extremely fond of that song, thats all.

10k is pretty neato.

Tomorrow a new month begins.
There are 60 days left in the year, as of tomorrow.
I'm still trying to figure out how to
Utilize my time in order to make those
Sixty…

The new Life at These Speeds album is really good.
Seriously, I love it.

Pssssh, what was I thinking? Who buys shit?

What I'm getting into all over again:
Beulah
Yo La Tengo
Suis La Lune
Eels

I forgot how much I love that Björk song, Pagan Poetry.
Seriously, I think Björk is amazing.

*EDIT: Last night, I was looking at this web-page with tons & tons of Björk photographs, & I was like "Mom, isn't she gorgeous?!" and my mother was like "What?! No! She's so ugly!" I wanted to kick her in the face. In my personal opinion…

I'm just really glad he performed this:
To Be Alone With You
