billy corgan calls in sick for halloween (4/6/18)

i am back with new digs and i am preaching to an audience of tumbleweeds
1DJ Healer
Nothing 2 Loose

ambient with banging beats, a breathing contradiction

i think maybe this is album of the year. i think maybe it could be the thing to ignite some vague sense of spirituality in me but also i am too bogged down by the corporeal. i like this very much and i think you will too.

The First Requisite Is Life

avant-folk, spoken word (what is a word if not spoken)

another one to reimburse the things i lost travelling to the secular state. this one is the least australian album written by an australian ever and sounds like it comes from a dingy motel half way to heaven. i may be using it to get to sleep (along with grouper) but goddamn it makes me feel WOKE
3LUMP (UK)
LUMP

laura marling trips over a telephone wire, folk

soars and struggles, a yeti somehow more human than most humans, i feel like i understated the importance of mike lindsay in my review but please read it anyway

Malady

screamo, post-hardcore

lots of fucken whinging but it's cool. need more hardcore music that is effortlessly sharp as opposed to trying too hard to break all the bells and whistles they attach to begin with. does that make sense? probably not; i guess this is just surprisingly easy listening but it still hits hard, and that's the kind of oxymoron i live for in music
5Skee Mask
Compro

ambient, technoish with percussion that skitters like a bug across the open field of synths

i don't have anything more to say about this but today was the right day for it: overcast and foggy, warm and stuffy, the middle of a transitional period
6Songs: Ohia
Ghost Tropic

slo-mo folk

holy SHIT i can live in this thing it's like a cocoon but instead of me coming out as a butterfly i come out still depressed but a little bit more content and sleepy.

Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again

ambientertaining

how engaging is this ! how determined is it to not be! wOW i'm in love
8Ben Howard
Noonday Dream

folk with a voice that is pleasant and depressing

this is a shared entry between this and an album i can't be bothered adding to the database: Choruses From the Rock - Figures In Mist. there's not too many similarities. the latter forgoes the incense-candle-burning vocal delivery and acoustics for a dude falsetto crooning over synth drones and it should be boring but instead it's insanely affecting and is the kinda music to embrace the term "sad boi" with open arms. it's the mood i'm in, it's the mood i can't get out of
9Pusha T
DAYTONA

if u know u know (lazy entry for a meticulously crafted slice of soulful hippity hoppity)
10Richard Wagner
Der Ring des Nibelungen

romanticism

still a bluddy classical peasant innit and i wish i could listen to this without feeling like an anti-semite-apologist but it is what it is. there's some beautiful compositions here. i don't know what makes them so but they're pleasing to my earholes
