I have the distinct feeling that I’m coming down with a cold. This in spite of last night being one of the laziest nights in recent memory. Note to self: No more over-sized, greasy meals on weekends. It ruins one’s ability to be social. In any event, Pray for my continued good health.
RULES for uninitiated noobs: With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week features the soundtrack to the film Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, and plenty of noise (Merzbow! Melt Banana! Whitehouse!). It’s a nice departure from sweet melodies juxtaposed to cough syrup-slow jams. These days, you could throw a rock and hit any number of musicians spinning yarns atop ambient soundscapes. The avant-garde scene is where shit really happens. Also, The Apples In Stereo and Lightnin’ Slim, just to throw a crimp into things. These songs will be removed if desired by the band or those who represent them. Let me know and I will gladly comply. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
