After The Call

Been reading Martin Aston's 4AD bible, Facing the Other Way. Really great, been bringing up all those memories of late nights watching MTV's 120 Minutes, which, I suppose, deserves credit for playing Cocteau Twins' "Love's Easy Tears" video, and turning me on to them, the label, and turning my whole world of music upside down.

Yaman Blues

Way too long between posts. That's what moving will do. In the interim, been having fun chipping away at the shoegaze 'box set,' especially with the post-shoegaze stuff. Then I got sidetracked, in a fun way, putting together a mixed bag playlist for summer fun and unpacking purposes, as well new car jamz (renamed and refreshing the 19 or so BIM playlists) -- everything from The Flamingos' 'I Only Have Eyes For You' to Miles Davis' 'Honky Tonk' to Nectarine No. 9 and Captain Beefheart to Jack Rose's 'Yaman Blues,' to name but a few, so, hopefully, slowly getting back in to the more recent (2013/2014) ambient experimental things. As well as some U2 and Bruce Springsteen. Probably. When life turns you upside down, or even sideways, you gotta love a comfort like music before you grew up and all your ideals were shattered.
