my zurna arrived today, so i'm listening to the horrible skronks it makes as i try to get it to play music. this is by far the hardest instrument i've ever played

SWANS - (( "Swans Are Dead" )) [Album]

*sigh* Maybe if I'm lucky there will a reunion tour sometime down the road that I'll be able to catch.

Working on a term paper on Samuel Beckett, and I need the last bit of boost.


Cecil Taylor - All the Notes

This is a new live recording, which was recorded Feb. 19, 2000 in Minneapolis of all places. It's a trio recording, with Dominic Duval on bass and Jackson Krall on drums. There are 3 tracks, for a combined 75 minutes of music.


This one is so new; my Pops hasn't even heard it yet.

It's just been sitting in that ever growing stack of his. His stack has a life of it's own, and he isn't even around to listen to them.

Something else to add to my list of things to add to my own stack.

MIKE PATTON - (( "Adult Themes For Voice" )) [Album]

SWANS - (( Children of God )) [Album]

It's been a while.

John Zorn - Chimeras

What an excellent album!

Mogwai - Government Commissions - BBC Sessions 1996-2004

Painkiller - Buried Secrets

My first experience of this lot, and I've got to say it's pretty darn cool. Not as ear-damaging as expected, but cool nonetheless.

FUSHITSUSHA - (( "A Little Longer Thus" )) [Album]
