pavement - quarantine the past (2010)
buy / myspace / bandsite
mini-review:
ever have a friend over who says they like a band you're into so you put one of their albums on and in the middle of the first song while they're looking at the case they walk over and start skipping tracks without asking until their song comes on and they're like, "yeah, this is my jam"... politely you suffer through the whole ordeal letting them do their thing through a few of their "oh, i love this album" record desecration sessions... then they wonder why you don't invite them over anymore.

kind-of-review:
it was a beautiful fall day for a walk in the woods... i felt great... i could have almost started skipping... out of nowhere things got heavy... the wind... the darkness in the sky... and the storm brewing inside of me was ready to explode... almost felt like breaking things but at the limit of my emotions i became worn out and weak until it would start brewing all over again... finally things calmed and she told me that i didn't have to be afraid anymore... she broke me down into pieces and comforted me with song to make me whole again... the sky was clear again and i felt cleaner inside... the groove kicked in and i was ready to roll... stopped on a log for a smoke and watched the creatures interacting with their surroundings for a while... the water on the river was almost hypnotic... then somehow i ended up at a mogwai show where they forgot the batteries for their pedals... which almost made it heavier due to the clarity backed by the anticipation and imagination of what wasn't there... came back to the soft comforting sound of her voice... must've nodded off... back to the trail... back into the groove... looks like a good walk back home... felt good to get out today.

bill janovitz - cover of the week (2k8-?)
try / listen / blog / bandsite
this is an ongoing project of recording cover songs that bill janovitz (buffalo tom) has been doing since the end of november in 2k8... there're some really good covers and more posted up there... i'd do an upload of the first 69 but i feel that'd be disrespectful to the effort he's put into his posts... so download or listen to a song at a time while reading the posts like i'm doing... it's well worth the time.
later.
