Very sad news about Levon today. My heart sank when I heard. I always had hope that one day I'd make it up to NY to see one of his rambles.
 
Sweet. Cool tune. Meta.

For anybody looking to get into ambient/experimental music (no one, I know), start with the band Gas. They only have 4 albums, but they take the rare trajectory of getting better as they go. Their final album, 2000's Pop, is sublime. I will be listening to their discography all day on repeat.
 


That crucial filament is all but spent
And soon it will be dark in my basement
My heart is waxing the slick floor again
Hoping I'll slip, and fall in love
Well, she gave me the choice
To remain and rejoice, or to recoil and rebel
Well, Papa, this gravity attack
Yeah, it's a gravity attack
And I can't seem to carry, much less bury the past

Well, your ex-girlfriend said I was a terrible mess
Yeah, she's got a real good head on her shoulders
When the singer spoke and confessed
He didn't really smoke cigarettes
She said her teenage brother smoldered
On a hotbed of coal in a sterile white room
Underneath that Joy Division poster
He moaned, "Papa," he moaned, "Papa
Sometimes I gotta vent my spleen
Sometimes I gotta vent my spleen
When I get shattered in the heart
And scattered in the brain"

Well, all the medicine in these sermons
Still can't keep his brazen nose from turning
And salvation, it may come free of charge
But faith always costs him something
They say there's nothing as sacred
As the blood between brothers
When it's pricked from their thumbs
And exchanged beneath the covers
Well, Papa, my brother is gone!
Yeah, my brother is gone!

So would you tell me now how it is
I'm supposed to get along?

Well, you asked for a chorus but you got a refrain
Yeah, it's another sad song that moves like a train
You can't whistle to it
But you can fast-forward through it
Flick it off your shoulder like dead skin

They say my head on a plate
May curve the debate
About the unbearable high cost of living
But Papa, everything falls apart!
Everything falls apart
And the grass will grow
As surely as they'll break your heart

Yup. On a related note: You should know that I still resent you (and may resent you for all of eternity) for your snub of You & Me on your 2000s list.

I'll live. I just prefer Bows + Arrows. Also, this new track has riffs and lyrics similar to The Rat.

Powerful. This was my favorite section.
 
Well I did plan to listen to drone all day, but I guess I will make an exception.
 
Also, 3 day passes to Lolla already sold out. Easily the fastest sellout in the past 10 yrs.
 
La Sera, one of my huge crushes, and a very talented artist, has a new album (from late March) that I've just gotten around to purchasing. It's truly spectacular:

Cool song. I like it. You'd have to fight El Chupacabra for that chick. El Chupe American Hero loves red heads, I think because his mom and sister both have red hair. He also likes junk in the trunk. RIP EL CHUPE AMERICAN HERO.
 
Just got a saturday ticket, will purchase a friday ticket soon (can't believe the 3 day sold out so fast). Also the lineup for each day is now up on the official Lollapaloza site.
