IN CASE YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW:

The Feelies - The Boy With the Perpetual Nervousness

Thursday

Weather WE liked it or not, Thursday happened. March 13, 2008 went down in history.

These pictures were taken on my phone somehow...

.

What you don't know is Memphis. What you can't see just keeps on going. Right? What you do know gets sooo old but at the same fucking time you can't ever forget it!


But what happened is
I was late to school,
burnt a DVD WRONG (which is a damn shame), then I saw Kelsey.

I've seen people I haven't seen for MONTHS each day all week.

At one point today I was so sad I started to cry in the hall, but that person never talks.

6:01PM: A longboard came up and hit my fucking ankle.

This is a letter to someone I know

Guess what? YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE SHIT.

Snoop Dogg - Cool / Three Variations on the Canon in D Major: Fullness of Wind

Post Rock

Post-rock is a genre of alternative rock characterized by the use of musical instruments commonly associated with rock music, but utilizing rhythms, harmonies, melodies, timbre, and chord progressions that are not found in rock tradition. Simply put, it's all beautiful as fuck.

Recently, all I want to listen to is anything like I just described. The mood I've been in for a couple of weeks embraces post rock, and holds onto it very tightly. Notable bands include the IDM of Mouse on Mars, the jazz-jam-fusion-rock of Tortoise, and the outright outlandish antics of Stereolab.

[By the fucking way: Stereolab! It's like happy-go-lucky French electronica (that's not really electronica) jams. Get some.]

The grandaddy of them all still remains Godspeed You Black Emperor!. I would start any hungover morning last summer with a jam by GYBE! or one of their many side projects (Fly Pan Am, A Silver Mt. Zion). Next time you're over at my house, bring a bag of blay and some rolling papers. I'll throw on Side A of Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven. It's a fucking trip.

And now, the penis:

Tortoise - Djed

Mouse on Mars - Twift Shoeblade

Stereolab - Les Yper-Sound and Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Murderers and Robbers

When it comes to gangster rap, one should not look any further than Snoop or Dre. Maybe even Ghostface if you define "gangsta" with "stoned soul steam-of-consciousness". What you don't know is Memphis.

This is Memphis.



For everyone who just tuned into this blog, here's some penis for your iTunes. Presented are three tracks from Project Pat's 1994 underground album, later re-released in 2000, that serve as a reminder of the M-town as a place we should never visit, but something we should all celebrate for giving us such bonechillinghauntingass music.

Project Pat - Ridin on Chrome

Project Pat - This Ain't No Game

Project Pat - Bitch Smackin Killa
