The Soft Boys - "Kingdom of Love"
The Soft Boys - "Kingdom of Love"
Holy crap, the newest Farflung album, A Wound in Eternity, is f'ing brilliant.
Epic stoner/space rock with some of the best guitar tone and riffs around.
These guys are completely untouchable.

^Funny song title.
I like long, funny song titles. One of my old bands had a song/album called:
"Doctor Sloth and Chet the Mystery Man, as the Bassneck Masturbaters, Explain How to Release the Inner Parasite Through Conjuration of the Noise Demon."
We were called The Bassneck Masturbaters. I was Chet the Mystery Man, and my friend Ronny was Doctor Sloth. We both played bass and we were accompanied by an Amiga 2000.
Good times.

This Farflung album continues to impress the hell out of me. It is so undeniably brilliant, and so mind-numbingly amazing that I can hardly believe it actually exists. It's like someone crawled inside my head and recorded the exact album I wanted to listen to.

I checked these guys out - they sound pretty cool. At first listen, I pick up a Red Meat vibe.
"Just Like Tom Thumb Blues" - Nina Simone
Surprisingly excellent, not because it's Nina (whom I love), but because I generally don't care for Dylan covers.

Tool - 10000 Days it's Lateralus + 1
Of course I'm not really sure how I feel about these Tool fellows altogether. It's just an experiment right now. And, my CD shop didn't have Bob Marley Exodus. . . so I bought this.
Yays! Had I rep to give, I would.
Because it is awesome.

Blam Blam-Killer Mike. This song is just simply awesome funky rap with a great beat. Even though the song track to the ATHF movie is merely solid at best.

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
David Axelrod - The Mental Traveler
Combines some fabulous stereophonic production with all that makes Axelrod awesome (those things mostly being great horn accents and a full on free flowing electric guitar in the middle). I especially like the ways he uses altered distortions and different instruments to echo his hook riff.
Suck, the only version I could find is someone playing Audiosurf. Oh well, check it.

Tim Hardin's 1 and 2 straight through. How awesome is this guy?
Wishful thinking, perhaps; but that is just another possible definition of the featherless biped.
