EARTHS

I think that overall, there's a generalized disinterest with this blog. This I can understand; for the obtuseness of my posts are certainly unpalatable to most. I think another reason may be the fact that I am personally far removed from most of the content hereof. So I'm going to take this moment, emotionally open up, and share some personal information to the entirety of the cyber inter-spheres.

I love space.

And I don't just mean personal space (of which I'm also a huge fan), but I mean the biggest of spaces. The outer one. Furthermore, I have many'a'fantasies of flight on any and all levels. So you know what would be especially fun? Orbiting the earth on the international space station ...traveling at trouser pooping speeds.

Sunrises, sunsets, city lights, thunderstorms, aurora borealis; you know, such of what dreams are made; all within minutes of each other.

Also, should you enjoy this sort of thing, and should you have 38 minutes of life to spare; watch THIS.

ADDENDUM! Original video with sweet techno is NO MAS. Until further notice, Beethoven must suffice:

Yes.

Temporarily Out of Service

So I have been a'slackin' on the blog front, and for that I emit condolences from deep within my bowels. BUT be not exorbitantly dismayed, I have not forgotten ye old blog. 

Through some major soul searching, I have decidedly made a handful of modifications round these parts. First most, you will notice no invasive tunes. This is not to be taken lightly, for it is my greatest pleasure to force unwelcomed music on unsuspecting blog-goers. BUT this being the free country it is, and since you have been set free from sin, you are now free to push play on the player for yourself. Go ahead. Push it. Push the play icon. I know you see it there, why the hesitation? It will not hurt you. At best you can expect good health, a rise in spirits, and generalized life enhancement. At worst, you will experience incalculable suffering through this life and the next. I have strong suspicion it will be the former. For this, I give you my word.


Second most, I have employed a new gaze-worthy picture and new blog title. This is not to say any of the marked quality of this blog will be affected henceforth, for these changes are solely aesthetic in nature and essence.

Grizzly grind by Danieljose X on Mixcloud

Now for this particular post's playlist rundown:

Grizzly Bear is one of the few creative analog bands of our generation. And this new track 'Sleeping Ute' from their forthcoming album attests to just that. It seems to me that they are channeling some prog from times past...

Clark has been featured on this blog many moons ago, and this little synth slammin' track 'Tooth Moves' is not one to be winked at. So it is settled, no winking at this synth slammin'.

'Blue Eyed Bitter' by Aeroc is one of those songs that makes you want to stare indefinitely into the clouds or the stars or anything upward.

This track 'Grinder' by Nitemoves is the very song that this playlist was built around. Goosebumps people. Listen, appreciate, repeat. And FYI: Nitemoves is also the drummer for Tycho on his summer tour.

'5th Stage' by Osborne is an oldie (like sooo 2008) but its a goodie. Inhale this business long and slow, hold, aaaaaand you're welcome.

Then we have a brief but delightful interlude by Dykehouse called 'Sandy Strip' that just fit right on in there, so there you go.

 Cubenx has many'a'good tracks and I encourage you to listen to most of their other stuff as well. This one, 'Grass,' is surely one of my fav's. Mellow and unoffensive, this can be appreciated with indirect listening as background music or direct listening through headphones or the like.

THEN we've got 'The Unknown' by Dextro. This track is dripping with melancholia, one of my favorite flavors indeed.

And finally, 'Melamine' by Geskia! I'm not necessarily excited, the exclamation point is part of the artist's name. This in one of those slow builders and slow faders which is my preferred way to end any mix.


Well that's all for now folks; and maybe for a while yet, as I do not have time to cater to all your wants and needs. My people need me.
