2 songs for : apocalypse in our hearts

 Good morning and good night for some. Here are two fast and emotional songs for the ups and downs of daily life. Routines can be adventures. 


THE CURE - GRINDING HALT from THREE IMAGINARY BOYS (1979)

SUBURBAN LAWNS - GREEN EYES from Self-Titled album


"Green eyes have not yet been known to meFor I have not your eyesMy waking has not yet been grown at all
Oh, this endless dayPigment gray on the second floorMy friend died last night, or triedLights are not bad for such a small place
He's posing like he's quite big-headedI know you're a heartful mindThe shades are the Venetian kindThey are drawn down blindFor only lines are shadowed in anglesOn my wall in the daytime
My tales have not yet been seen by themThey are only paperScreaming ladies, converted shirtsI wish and wishes that never came through
Green eyes have not yet been known to meFor I have not your eyesMy waking has not yet been grown at all
Oh, this endless dayPigment gray on the second floorMy friend died last night, or triedLights are not bad for such a small place
He's posing like he's quite big-headedI know you're a heartful mindThe shades are the Venetian kindThey are drawn down blindFor only lines are shadowed in anglesOn my wall in the daytime
My tales have not yet been seen by themThey are only paperScreaming ladies, converted shirtsI wish and wishes that never came through
Green eyes have not yet been known to meFor I have not your eyesMy waking has not yet been grown at all"

*Khruangbin - LateNightTales*

  A brilliant and accessible double LP that showcases Khruangbin favourite tracks and influences providing an actual sonic globetrotting experience. The journey starts with "Illuminations" featuring Alice Coltrane and Santana, a spiritual intro for an incredible journey. The second track "I know that (when the spring times comes)" by Brilliantes del Vuelo is a mellow dubby reggae inspired track that gives a way to the more energetic "Khushi" by Nazia Hassan, a bittersweet quasi disco sounding track. "DRM" by Kelly Doyle is a rather short but breezy instrumental song that keeps the spirit of the sonic traveller alive. Side B starts up with "Don't go" by the south korean rock pioneers Sanullim, a very 80's new wave delight type of song. "I like it (don't stop)" by Maxwell Udoh is a rather amusing disco type song with romantic lyrics, very danceable stuff. "Enseñame" featuring David Marez is a lounge type so...

*Jonzun Crew - Lost in Space*

  Spectacular funky hip-hop from the 80's. The group was led by Michael Jonzun and his brothers Maurice Starr, Sonny and Carl. The group was highly influenced by Afrika Bambaatta, they wore wigs like Mozart and dominated the electroboogie sound like bands such as Parliament.  All the tracks are great and unique. Wonderful band that has yet to find its real listeners. The green solid reissue is gorgeous.  Interesting for fans of Daft Punk.

*Jon Jost soundtracks - Last chants for a slow dance // Slow moves*

  A friend sent me this CD that he produced and edited under his indie label, Plancton music. I was unfamiliar with Jon Jost's work as a director  and after having listened to this CD, I decided to watch two of the feature films featured on this soundtrack: "Last Chants for a slow dance" and "Slow moves". Both films are as contemplative as they are rebellious in the showing of character's emotions and motivations, serving as characters studies of the drifter who seeks meaning and some kind of spiritual refuge in everyday life. The songs were composed by Jon Jost with the exception of one song, "Fixing to die" who was co-written with Kajsa Ohman. The soundtrack is comprised of bittersweet country songs intertwined with some audio excerpts from the films. There is a pervasive melancholy and longing for better times and the drifter ethos in searching and seeking eternally, meaning that the destination is never as enchanting as the travel. The audio ex...
