Talking Heads - '77

But perfect from now on exists

Correct listening

Not me personally, but my little brother is listening to Richard D. James Album. I am so proud.

Awesome French Post-Punk with some strong goth-leanings. Many years ago during my graduation year trip to Nice, our tutor recommended them to me after he had heard that I was into some gloomy 80s artists. He also told me how to get to one of the more awesome record stores I ever visited. He was pretty damn cool. And this is a great album.

I usually have my music on shuffle at school, but because I'm that sort of person I'll skip over a dozen songs before I get to one I like.

Recently, I have been loving 'Orange Rolls, Angel's Spit', particularly for three reasons:
1. The awesome guitar sound - I don't know how to describe it, but you probably know what I'm thinking about.
2. Kim's 'la la la...' in the pre-chorus.
3. The fact that everyone I've ever shown the song has been horrified by it.

This has sort of become my personal musical equivalent to comfort food. It used to be in such heavy rotation for some time and I realized that it really goes quite well with drawing semi-expressionistic cartoonish morosities. It's a fixture, really. Though I haven't listened to it in full for at least a year I guess. Decided to dig it out again.

velvet underground - white light white heat
codeine - frigid stars
the dead c - white house

Good stuff
