The End Is Near

i've made a cassette for someone i hardly know,
i keep getting the feeling i'm some sort of weirdo for doing so.
i mean, i didn't put any love songs or 'i'm gonna kill you' songs (whatever those are) on it.
just songs that i like & i thought they would like.
and what i want out of it,
is knowing they truly enjoyed it.
that's all.

The Eye - K.U.K.L (anarcho/post-punk)
this is probably the only Björk album i will ever enjoy. don't get me wrong, she has some hits & some other random goodies, but K.U.K.L is where it's truly at. this is her first band and i wonder how things would have been had she stuck around with them, ah, i can only imagine. now that's a show i'd like to see. reunion! reunion!


s/t - Hound Dog Taylor & the Houserockers (blues)
i've been getting deeper into ol' Hound Dog lately and i most certainly like what i hear. there's a definite sign that this feller influenced a slew of other musicians especially Jack White. what i savor most about this dude is the raw feeling in his recordings and judging by yesterday's live album, i just know that he was definitely the man.


Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground -Blind Willie Johnson (blues)
mr.Johnson was not born blind, it seems his step-mother got into a tiff with his father and threw lye, not at his pop but at him thus blinding the unsuspecting child. with that, he took his cigar box guitar and started praising the lord with some of the best blues guitar playing and that voice! not to mention that bass thumb picking. one of my favorite masters of the blues, that is a fact.
