vampire vultures

January 29, 2004

Oh yeah! If you’re interested, there’s a book review by me in the new (February) issue of the Wire of the posthumously-published John Fahey anthology “Vampire Vultures.” I’ll post the text up here at some point. Note to those of you writing in to correct me: I realize, yes, that the title of his 2000 [...]

cooking with liars

January 28, 2004

Each time I sit down with the new Liars album (which is hurting my head worse than a hundred dogs) I end up switching the CD back to the new ‘n lovely Stereolab album. So instead of sitting down with the new Liars, I’ve been listening to the album while cooking, doing laundry, paying bills. [...]

drone on feel the vibe

January 27, 2004

Totally digging Jon Dale‘s madly inspired musings right now — love this: Surface of the Earth are the drone summit of the past ten years, some of the most densely steamy, unrelentingly heavy drone music made. It makes Sun O))) look like a bunch of pop kids, makes Wolf Eyes look like preening dandies. Surface [...]

music sent through the ether

January 27, 2004

I’ve been working to assemble a care package for an old, dear friend of about 20 CDs of music — mix CDs, full-lengths, everything. He’s been living in relative isolation out in the woods of Vermont, out of range of mp3s and record stores, and hasn’t heard much new music for a few years. It’s [...]

schlafen gehen

January 27, 2004

Every week I choose a different album to fall asleep to. My mind is usually so busy that I can’t shut it down long enough to fall asleep unless there’s music playing that’s busy enough to provide a temporary distraction, but not so activating that I spend the entire night thinking about it. This week’s [...]

guitar solos

January 26, 2004

Every time I get pissed off at something I practice guitar. This amounts to practicing guitar for an hour or more each day (I get pissed off a lot.) I’m trying to develop some goddamned CHOPS, man. Fuck that no-wave/electroclash amateur-night bullshit; I’m talking some serious ’70s prog action here. Kidding, kidding, that’d be terrible, [...]

yeah.

January 26, 2004

Finally saw a 12″ of ‘Yeah’ this weekend — every copy is engraved with the words ‘Not as good as Loosing [sic] My Edge’

midnight movie

January 24, 2004

Just got home, and it’s 5 in the a.m. — when I got in the door, totally freezing and unable to feel my fingers, I was greeted by a warm apartment, the stereo playing itself some Stereolab, and the faint, pleasing smell of orange peels and the hyacinths blooming on my windowsill. It feels like [...]
