Blank Dogs are coming to San Diego. I don't think I'll be able to get a new fake ID in time, unfortunately. Pretty bummed about it.

"Handkanten Akt" a 1:25 song from the movie Vier Minuten / Four Minutes. Didn't like the movie but for some reason can't stop listening to this song.

[BECOMING-INTENSE]

Billie Holiday... Autumn In New York(LP Take)

lovers that bless the dark
On the benches in central park
Greet autumn in new york
Its good to live it again

[swami]

Love Billie Holiday, My wife introduced me to Her and Nina Simone & Cesaria Evora about 15 years ago and I still get goosebumps every single time I hear them

Right now listening to COCOROSIE Tekno Love song

I fell in love with a bad bad man
Every since i met him
I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
A criminal in your prayer
I watch you when you sleep
Even when you're not there

Billie Holiday... Autumn In New York(LP Take)

lovers that bless the dark
On the benches in central park
Greet autumn in new york
Its good to live it again

i concur...i mean, c'mon this is the state of the underground?

you know, i'm not sure what it says about the times when blank dogs is the hot shit that everyone's excited about. that isn't to call him god-awful or anything, but really..

bought a re-edition vinyl on 4men with beards label
and sounds pretty amazing. anyway that's my favorite
album by tim ;-)

[klangspiel]

the release of 2008. think i might've exorcised a few demons listening to it. haha. or maybe just the rats up in the attic. scurry ya furry fucks, scurry :)

[Canaduh0415]

Django reinhardt, anything and everyhting

[maldoror]

jacula - tardo pede in magium versus



in general not as good as the first album (though musically the Carnival of Souls soundtrack is a better reference point), but U.F.D.E.M. is one of the best things I've ever heard.

edited to add:

first - i don't want to imply that listening to blank dogs is lame by any means...there's nothign worse than being judged by what bands you like. i'm not 15, i pulled my head out of my ass a long time ago. i think it's absolutely great that you are so excited by them...and maybe merz and i are reacting to the fact that there isn't anything that gets us as excited as the stuff that was around when we were 16...and i don't think it's just because we're older, i think it has a lot to do w/ the current state of music. basically, i'm a little jealous that you can still get that excited about this stuff. i've become that jaded 30 yr old asshole i used to see at shows and i don't like that.

i'm usually the first person to praise sincerity over originality - but in this case, blank dogs just don't do it. he's pushing my buttons for sure - he's got the recording aesthetic and sound down, but really, all it makes me want to do is listen to the bands that influenced him. i have a similar reaction to jack rose...he's doing it right, but really, i'd rather just listen to fahey.

blank dogs are definitely not offensive - and i'd rather see him get huge than be forced to keep reading about deerhunter. it's just kind of, i dunno...
