deadboy & the Elephantmen

One of my favourite songs of all time:

His voice does very intense, evil things to me.

Here they are again on the Henry Rollins show. This song is also fucking fantastic:

Went to see Devo last night at The Phoenix in Toronto. They played the entire Freedom of Choice record, plus "Be Stiff," and "Beautiful World." It definitely did NOT disappointed. I danced my ass off and had a great time, had a perfect view of the Mothersbaugh brothers the whole time, and the lighting onstage was fantastic. Devo haven't played Toronto since something like 1981? Sounded like they never went away - what a show.

Here's a review of the show from Canoe.ca: (click)

1:12pm, the 19th of November - Thursday

I'm so bored.
I'm the Chairman of the Bored.
My hair has kinks in it from the night before.
It's grey outside. I can see two bikes from my vantage point.
I just stood by my bedroom door and peered in for a bit to watch my cat sleep.
Other things I can see from where I sit:
three lighters
three lights
one glass of water
four cameras
chapstick
an empty plate of food
dirty eyeglasses
two boxes of white christmas lights
a keyboard
six altar candles
four guitars
paperwork (only half filled-out)
a metal beer stein
cigarette butts in a sea of ash
The song I'm listening to just started skipping.
Maybe it has some backwards satanic message.
Maybe I should listen to what it's telling me.
Oh, it's just a recipe for shortbread cookies.
The meteor shower ended this morning.
I didn't see a single star.
An old band from my youth just came over the speakers
and I had flashbacks of teenagers and zines and crowded halls.
As I was saying, I didn't see a single star.
Let alone a meteor.
Most days I curse living in a booming metropolitan area
because all I really want in life is to be able to see the stars.

I'm still looking for some meaning in the day-to-day.
And every night I look to the moon.

a little love song.

"Stars Fell On Alabama" - Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I never planned in my imagination
A situation - so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center - just you and me

My heart beat just like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

""Stars Fell on Alabama" was based on the 1833 Leonid meteor shower. Some people believed Judgment Day was at hand. Many profane people were frightened to their knees. Dust-covered Bibles were opened and dice and cards were thrown to the flames. The meteor storm of 1833 was of truly superlative strength. It was marked by the Native Americans, slaves and owners, and many others. That same 1833 shower, near Independence, Missouri, was taken as a sign to push the growing Mormon community out of the area."

albums of the day: nov 17 09

Black Mountain's "In The Future"

My favourite jams being "Wucan," "Queens Will Play," and "Stormy High."
Perfect album for a smoked out afternoon just like the one I'm rockin' today. It has just the right amount of ambient transcendence, juxtaposed by bone-crushingly slow riffs.

Perfect listening for: a satanic orgy, getting stoned in the forest, playing a videogame about extraterrestrials.

Air's "Premiers Symptomes"

Some say that Air have perfected "la musique de chambre," and I can't bring myself to disagree. Lulls you into the sweetest limbo between lustful and the most relaxed state you've ever tasted.

The best tracks: "Brakes On" for its hip-hop meet early Chemical Brothers sensibility, and "J'ai dormi sous l'eau," which is like a sailboat ride on a rainbow superhighway, traveling in slow-motion and hyperspeed all at once, twisting throughout the cosmic curves of the Milky Way.
