Entries about the music I like.
Nothing – Tired of Tomorrow
Sitting in the world’s most absurd café after completing the world’s most meandering walk, your phone suggests you listen to Nothing’s Famine Asylum off of their 2020 album, The Great Dismal. You’re reminded of an earlier album by the same band as a beskirted post-Soviet NFT scamster asks a vaguely Mediterranean dad-bodied man wearing a deep blue TOMMY JEANS tee to take a photo.
파란노을 (Parannoul) – To See the Next Part of the Dream
After decades online, you can tell when you're listening to something that's going to become forum famous. As the intro of White Ceiling floods through my newly-set-up home theatre system, I can imagine years of greentext word-walls and /mu/ shitposts written by kids that look like younger versions of myself talking about that night they discovered Parannoul.
My Bloody Valentine – Loveless
My Bloody Valentine's Loveless may not be my favourite album, but it's close to the top. Bilinda Butcher’s may not be my favourite lead vocal performance of all time, but it’s pretty close to the top. In fact, Kevin Shields’s vocal takes on Sometimes and Soon are among the only ones I can think of that come close. His guitarwork in this album is the best I’ve ever heard.
