this is some dumb music. i am, however, in full support of the unapologetic, big rock maneuver, ninetiesness of the whole thing.
these videos are laughably bad. wow.
but the guitarist is hot.
balances out.
have some blood red shoes:

i think i'm going to do batch updates of a few days worth at a clip.
for some the ten minutes it takes to do this have been elusive of late.
ON TO THE MUSIC!
live recordings of some pretty great songs from that laura marling lady i was all in a huff about a few weeks ago.
good stuff.

once upon a time isaac brock wrote songs that could wreck my day. and it was good.
this is one of them.

while i generally trend more toward the white light/white heat end of the velvet underground repertoire, this song feels like a warm blanket.

just pretty to start. 'round about the 2.5 minute mark it takes a swing at you.
the song is way too long, though. and a WARNING: after about the 7 minute mark it goes quiet and then has a bunch of crowd noise cacophony. I suggest not listening to that.

i've fallen into arrears again. shit been busy.
in the five days since i last posted i will admit to mostly listening to old music. aural comfort food. so the make-up days going up now will be of that variety.
thing have felt occasionally menacing of late. a bit sinister, even.
this is among my favorite songs on the creepy side.

i'm on a run of girls with guitars.
there are worse things.
this record is pretty great, i'll assume you're already listening to it.

first of a couple sky larkin songs that i'm posting.
liking the dirty guitars and clear voice.
from their new record:

nice makeup, guy.
the glam pose is not really my thing, but it is a catchy song.

on sunday solomon burke died.
known best for his work in the middle 60's, i've always been most fond of his 2002 record, don't give up on me.
it really is something spectacular.
so, my favorite of his songs:

the video is pretty clever.
enough so that i actually stop paying attention to the song sometimes.
i'm not sure if that's a good thing.

caught myself humming this walking back from work.
