Music

Day spent at home, mainly with computer and listening vinyl. Not necessary a bad choice. Although I wonder should I get myself moving soon.
I updated this to wordpress 2.? and at the same time changed the address: no more blog.waveway.org, now it’s tales.waveway.org. Why? I wanted.
Also I put up another Wp on darlingdear.net. There I try to write about dance. in finnish. I tried that before with not so god result. Maybe this time.
No job at the moment and very soon no money. But luckily I have a couple of albums that I can listen in this time between. So what’s new?
Nadja is awesome. I really got hooked on Bodycage’s Clinodactyl, but all the others are making they way into my brainwaves. Like Stays Demons on touched right now. There’s something that reminds me of JESU, one of my favourite bands at the moment.
Which brings to mind. I have not found any information why JESU’s debut was mixed again for the US (vinyl) release. I only came across this when I visited one message board. So because of this I had to get my hands onto that US release, and with some luck I found it. The mixes are quite different. Songs remain the same, but the difference is clear. I still don’t know which mix I prefer. But more important, which mix mr. Broadrick prefers? Why on earth has he released two so different version of the same album? And why this haven’t been explained anywhere?
JESU’s sunrise/sundown got just released, and I should have the first pressing of that soon in my hands. Let’s see. I’ve heard already the music though. But why not support somehing you like?
Logh released north. I listened it through yesterday evening, and I don’t really remember anything, but with Logh that’s not a bad thing. Their last album didn’t stick to my mind with the first listenings, but then when it did it has never left. Somehow with the big dissapointment of the raging sun I’ve come to adapt that at first their new album won’t sound so special, but with time, it probably will.
Let me clarify this: Logh made an awesome debut everytime a bell rings… which was so magnificent that the expectations for their second release the raging sun became so huge that it couldn’t have fulfilled them (well maybe it could have, but that would’ve been very very hard). So the raging sun sounded first like a dissapointment, but after time it was probably one of the best albums released that year. Their third a sunset panorama didn’t sound so special at first either, but with time it has become one of my favourites, and I think I have more references to that album than any other in this blog.
So I’ve learned to be patient with their albums, and that’s what I’m going to be with north too.
I also got the new DHG. I listened it before I bought it, and… well it has a samekind of problems. There’s been so many years after 666 international and the expectations have grown so big that they couldn’t have filled them anyway. It’s a good album all the same.
Lately I’ve been getting music that is quite demanding. Yesterday I got Scott Walker’s the Drift, and that IS demanding. I think it’s in the same league with Jazkamer and Æthenor. Actually it might be even more demanding.
Found Low’s the great destroyer with 10€, and got it. Very nice pop.
Temporary Residence released Rob Crow on vinyl. Why didn’t they tell me this when I was buying the cd?
Heard new Tori Amos. Not through out. it has 23 songs and when I was at 13 I couldn’t take it anymore. I’ll listen to it more and again, but I’m seriously doubting I’ll buy it. What’s wrong with you Tori? Even if your life is well can’t you feed some melancholy into your songs. Then again there’s definetly melancholy around so maybe it’s not your job to do it anymore. I just liked boys for pele and the choirgirl hotel so much more than anything that have come out after that. although there’s really lovely songs on welcome to sunny florida
I’ve been thinking of new headphones. Since Koss don’t have anymore lifetime warranty on their porta pro and since mine right one is starting to distord a bit. I though that maybe I’ll try to get a new ones. Sometime ago I though about sennheisers CX300 but I would like to test them before, since my ears are so sensitive. I don’t know, maybe I’ll just get another pair of porta pro.
Give me nice work and money, thanks
