L o l jamming Fushitsusha takes more than a year good luck (am still on hold, but should get back to that shit). Live I is hugely blessed, but also far more accessible than you'd expect compared to the shit to come. Few albums sound simultaneously like a total revelation and oppressive chore more than Live II

Kayo Dot is a classic just-do-it, although there's a helluva lot to chew over on most records

It's a record player playing a record!

Think I've commented as much elsewhere, but hearing this album digitally just ain't the way (much as I do exactly that 90% of the time in full self-awareness) - this thing is specifically crafted to prompt the specific what the fuck responses most people have exclusively reserved for their playback device skipping or glitching, and even hearing it on CD felt like an entirely different experience to me

Is like when I spent around ยฃ40 for a used copy of Unwound's Repetition without having heard anything on it (besides ig Corpse Pose), plugged it into my gf's cd player and immediately had a fit about the money I thought I'd just wasted

Oh wow Live 1 being comparatively accessible is an intriguing development / thought

Yeah, I donโ€™t want to push through too much Kayo immediately (without time for contemplation) but that hesitation often results in not going anywhere at all

Kayo turn into (literally) a different band from Blue Lambency onwards, so get at least through the evil mystic Talk Talk shit on Dowsing and see if that changes things

'Mort. get ye shelves lemme stack your shelves'





i could really do with some shelves. got myself a bookshelf recently and it turns out i need a whole second one. still, having the spill over jumbled up on top of the neat shelves of books beats having them on the floor

Idk if there has ever been a better marker of "wow civilised, but uhh wait a sec" than books on the floor lol

but yes yes vertical spatial orientation is key and I don't have enough of it :[ Half the rooms in my apartment have a sloping loft ceiling, which absolutely kills any possibility of meaningful use

Ooooooooooh lovely! Coincidentally, I've been listening to all of their stuff on shuffle for a while again, which is always super lovely there's so much weird stuff there. Most of it very good. Some of it annoying.

"Some of it annoying"



This is the first time I've witnessed the slightest hint of negativity from you Trif. Everything alright?

Hehe, it sometimes happens. I just really do not like the Kyberneticka Babicka's. They don't leave me room to have any thoughts, they fill my head completely: a feeling I find very annoying.



Do you know that feeling? If so: do you like it? If not: how did you manage to avoid it all your life?
