What Are You Listening To?

Jumpers-Sleater-Kinney. Man those chicks can wail and rock hardcore. The album The Woods is a fantastic display of rock 'n' and cool pop sensibilities. I really want to hear more from the band, especially since they can really craft a good fast paced rock piece. I like how in this song they tackle the issue of suicide in a very interesting way, which is only indictive of some of the other topics covered in the album itself.

Fushitsusha - "I Saw It! That Which Before I Could Only Sense"

Haino and co. are the probably the only people that can make an 85 minute guitar blowout worth listening to. I am only 16 minutes into it. Let's see if they can keep it up for another 69.

Fushitsusha - "I Saw It! That Which Before I Could Only Sense"

OMG, part 2 (aka 30 minutes in) is some of the most amazing, otherworldy, beautiful-ugly guitar sounds I've heard. How do they do this and make it not sound like showboating wankery? Stunning.

More to come soon. Watch this space.

Eh, halfway through and he's kinda losing me a bit. "I Saw It!" before, but now I'm 'only sensing' it at the moment. There's still hope, tho.

At the hour mark, and it's awesome again. Kinda futile to draw a distinction between the tedium and the great, since the entire piece is constantly deconstructing and rebuilding itself, albeit it's never certain as to which sounds constitute either part. Everything improvised music should be, really.

Listening to this kinda reminds me of when I was young and would put my face right up close to an ant's nest and watch the ants 'communicate'. There's the same kind of insidious logic at work here.

Was that a riff I heard?! Well, it's gone now...

Deep onion. Deep onion.

8 minutes to go. I think I'll put on some Pet Shop Boys next.

**Boner M** · 11-27-2007, 12:04 PM

1 minute left, you can really hear the band collapsing... like some big unwieldy machine malfunctioning... very... very... slowly....

And 85 minute guitar blowout? That's insane. Sounds kinda cool as well...
