What I'm listening to today: "Sleepless", Soul Coughing
Gosh, I love Soul Coughing. Nobody before or since has ever quite nailed their particular bizarre formula.
Here's my favorite S.C., from "Irresistible Bliss", the album where they couldn't get their regular producer and M.Doughty talked everyone into a stripped-down sound. It's a quiet lounge song that hits like a truck; if you listen to it on a setup with a real subwoofer it will literally make your walls rattle.
What I'm listening to today: "Placelessness" (excerpt), Chris Abrahams with Oren Ambarchi and Robbie Avenaim
A beautiful single stretched-out abstract jazz moment, like time itself is made of honey and will not let you go. I remember Spin once described a Boredoms song as "like the opening to an epic rock song that never starts". This is more like a single five seconds between bridge and verse stretched out forever, growing and deepening without progressing. Anti-music.
