GAS’ing for a Lee Ranaldo Jazzmaster on eBay. Auction ends Wednesday, but really can’t afford to be spending that money. I am now soliciting donations for the $1000 Save My Bank Account fund. Put your email in the comments and I will reply with my PayPal account address. Just finished “Goodbye 20th Century”, a book about Sonic Youth. Sitting in the California sun for vitamin D, my foot skin becomes leathery.
A friend lent me Two Dancers by Wild Beasts. Limp wristedness initially turned me off, but started coming around by the second listen. Really love “We Still Got The Taste Dancin’ On Our Tongues”:
Gal Costa’s other self-titled album:
Downloaded from an obscurities website one of Gal Costa’s self-titled albums from the late 1960′s (probably the second one, from 1969, although AllMusic Guide seems to disagree). Great Tropicalia, with infectious catchy experimentalism. Am especially digging the lead track “Cinema Olympia”:
This Gal Costa album:
Have had mixed feelings about Grizzly Bear, but digging their album Veckatimest. Creepy video for “Two Weeks”:
The Costa artwork alone is worth the effort. Wow.
Yeah, that first cover in particular is totally amazing…
