This would be a good year to be a cat.
Is that 100 words?
I'm practicing for this weekend's "Record to Die For" workout. We are now beginning production on the February 2009 issue, which includes that popular annual music feature. 25 words to go.
When I listen to this music, I feel like I should be toking on the world's largest doobie, even though I don't smoke. Perfect! Alright, I'm going now.
I gave this a chance, really did...but to me it just sounded like a bad mash up of Korn and NIN, both of which I hate. I was expecting something like blackmothsuperrainbow, mogwai or something in that vein... this, to me..sounded like that terrible music that plays during chase scenes in prison break.
I like Grails a bunch and Black Moth Super Rainbow while we're on the topic. Steven, have you heard of a record shop based out of San Francisco called Aquarius Records? Super cool and quirky shop specializing in everything doomy, droney, and dirgey. They do their own in-house reviews, a bi-monthly newsletter, and are fans of Grails. I like to think of it as the music store that has everything you never knew you needed. Lots of obscure stuff to be found, most with sounds samples too.
Steven,I have been reading your blogs for some time and really enjoy them and researching your new discoveries. I have not checked out Grail, but if it is mash up of Korn and NIN, it can't be all bad. And Alex, thank you for the tip on Aquarius Records - my bank acount is already feeling the pain!
