I think I've mentioned it before, and I think it was in response to andalucia (or someone) mentioning his name, but Serge Gainsbourg's Cannabis Soundtrack is so good.  It's hard to find, but I was able to download it on Soulseek.  I don't think my SO will go for it, but I want this one track off of it played at our wedding.  It's probably better that way, though.  I think the track's title translates as Last Wound or something like that.  

"First wound", actually, but heck yes.  And have you heard L'histoire du Melody Nelson?  It's my fave Gainsbourg.  It's also worth looking for a translation of the lyrics if you don't parlay le francais, the story the album tells is wonderfully bizarre, and lots of usual sleazy Gainsbourgness.

edit: oh, no, nevermind, I forgot that there's a "last wound" track as well.  Both are rad, so you're still right.

You know what makes me so sad? There's an 18-minute song saga that came with the Cat Power DVD, with her singing vocals and M. Ward playing guitar. It's called "Willie Deadwilder," and I am officially in love with it. I have become the sort of person that enjoys 18-minute-long narrative song sagas.

I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle.

keep on keepin' on, kiddo.

and while i realize just how condescending that could seem, to the point that if i remember back to the halcyon days of my youth my reaction to such a statement would have been a hearty "fuck you" and a long, hard pull on some type of embalming fluid concoction, the important thing is to be able to laugh at it too.

because regardless of whether it's Man, Nature, or Self that you are currently embattled with/against, the important thing to do is to continue to fight, lest not making you stronger it does Indeed kill you.

listen, i'm not trying to be pollyanna cheerful prick here, optimistic people give me ulcers.  i'm just giving you a pep talk akin to the guy at the bar who slurredly states "hey, it could be worse, they could..." and then promptly passes out off his bar stool.

i matriculated some outragsously overly prestigous prick-incubator and graduated from Dick Vitale Community College and i'm doing [cue= visible facial tick] f-f-f-f-ine.

so, to paraphrase the "leader" of a Texas Ufo Death Cult, don't just enjoy that 18 minute alterna chick ballad, enjoy the fuck out of it.


ps- i think she's dreeeeamy too.

I previewed part of L'histoire du Melody Nelson a while back, and really enjoyed what I heard.  One of these days when I have money I'm going to go out and buy like ALL his shit.

Did you, or anyone, see the movie Cannabis?  I think in the US the title is The Mafia Wants Your Blood.  I imagine it isn't wonderful, but I do want to see it.  Getting a copy of it is the hard part.

keep on keepin' on, kiddo.

Ha, thanks, man. That's the best inspirational speech I've ever gotten on the internet!
You know, it's kind of sad that after so long, I finally bought Neutral Milk Hotel's "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea," but I did, and it is awesome. I'm also pumped because I tabbed out "King of Carrot Flowers, Pt. 1".

He's meek.  He's a master of ceremonies.  He's doing a bad Woody Allen impression.

They are so good.

Just got done listening to Wolf Parade's self-titled six-song EP. It's not a perfect work -- they remind me of early R.E.M. in that the vocals are being mixed towards the back, but unlike early R.E.M. this is generally a weakness, since their lyrics are consistently interesting. They sound a bit rough yet, which I guess is understandable for a very young band, and I definitely like their use of weird sounds to complement the guitar and drums. Nothing sucks, and "Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts" is basically like treasure, so I am happy to own this.

[old kentucky shark]

I really like Grounds for Divorce and its constituent notes

Also, I'm listening to the Animal Collective EP 'Prospect Hummer' a lot lately.

I went to Austin for the first time this weekend, because I had heard it had good stores. First stop was Waterloo records. I always kick myself for not writing down what I want to buy before entering a music store. It's easy to get distracted in those places. For Waterloo, I would have needed a list written out, a recorded list playing through headphones, and reminder microfiche glued to my eyes. The place totally consumed me in indie vinyl. And then, is that another room filled with just cds OH SHIIIT!

 I recovered an Orthrelm 5", barely. My belt-drive player keeps resetting when I try and spin the record. I'm going to try one of those players with the weighted arms.
