Saw You Passing By


time waits for no one.
i wait for one.
i pray it is not in vain,
but i fear i am in over my head.
save me.

Sentimentally Yours - Patsy Cline (country)
i have fallen in love so deeply with Patsy Cline. i have listened to this album again & again ever since i bought it. the tracks on arranged perfectly, i feel it's one of those albums that one can listen to without skipping any songs. it was released in 1962 and was her final studio album before her untimely death. it is chock full of a lot of Hank Williams covers and she handles them so beautifully especially I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You). this album has been the soundtrack to my heartache and it helps in so many ways. if you're into female vocalists, golden age country or sorrowful tunes i would make it a point to get this.


Various Artists - Hell Comes To Your House (punk/death rock)
groundbreaking stuff here. this is one of the first compilations that contained mostly death rock, it served as an introduction to it for america. containing some of the more popular groups in the death rock scene such as 45 Grave & Christian Death, while throwing some great punk bands in the mix (Social Distortion, Secret Hate & Red Cross). if you want to get into death rock or some great music in general i suggest getting this compilation.


Honeymoon In Red - Lydia Lunch (post punk/no wave)
the Birthday Party backing Lydia Lunch who could ask for more. released in '87, Honeymoon In Red is a showcase of great minds coming together and creating some amazing tunes. although i have read that the group had a falling out with Lydia, we can be thankful that this had a chance to be released. Nick Cave also appears on a few tracks and the two dark entities mesh beautifully. i would recommend this to anybody who is interested in Nick Cave, Lydia Lunch or the Birthday Party. don't expect too much influence from Teenage Jesus, there are some tracks that are reminiscent of the group though.
