Regnig helg

Jag har spenderat min ensamma lördag med att inreda min takvåning, möblera om, dricka sprit, äta korv med bröd, spela tv-spel och glo på gamla skräckisar. Första 2 korvarna med senap, salsa, tiger-sås och jalapenos ackompanjerades av en rom & cola redan vid 13 på eftermiddagen. Då satte jag igång The Wax Mask av Dario Argento och sen fick det gå som det gick. En mycket anspråkslös och anakoretisk dag som avslutades vid 02 då all tv-tablå och motivation transformerades till testbilder och strupsång.

Förra veckan gav mig blandade intryck. Kände mig något ostrukturerad och hade lite svårt att koncentrera mig. Sådana veckor har man ju ibland. Då behövs en korkad och gräsligt passiv lördag i förkastlighetens tecken.

Nästa vecka, med start imorgon, kommer förhoppningsvis att bli bättre. Har lagt Lifelovers album 'Pulver' bakom mig och rört mig in i nya musikaliskt underhållande atmosfärer.

Dagens skivor (med annorstädes boende beskrivares text) är:
Besh o droM - Can't Make Me! (flying-teapot.blogspot.com)
Balkan was always a place where people are constantly in deep shit. Always killed and oppressed from some power hungry maniac and also a border line between religions. Due to this big diversity in cultures in such a small place the music from here is equally wild and non-rule following so to say. Besh o droM is a fine example of this music performed by Hungarian gypsies that mix a lot of different ethnic instruments originating from Hungary, Egypt and other interesting places. This is all good and great in all songs but the only downside of this album is the annoying turn-tabling that doesn't fit into this at all. Still it can grow on you and later on doesn't bother you at all.

Lionel Hampton - Flying Home (flying-teapot.blogspot.com)
Lionel Leo Hampton (April 20, 1908 – August 31, 2002), was a bandleader, jazz percussionist and vibraphone virtuoso. Hampton was born in Louisville, Kentucky. “Hamp” ranks among the greatest names in jazz history and worked with a who’s who of jazz musicians, from Benny Goodman to Charlie Parker to Quincy Jones. His stuff is really good and I enjoy it a lot especially since there's not many vibraphonists around playing that funky instrument.

Kaniba - The Serpent, The Omega and Completion of the First Circle (terrornoiseaudio.blogspot.com)
Kaniba's Dark Ambient Presence Will Absorb and Shroud the Listener into a Reverie...A Blanket of Fog and Mist That Does Not Give Way. Thematically, The Serpent is of the Earth and Shub-Niggurath; the Womb of all, the grave of all. Life and Death, creation and destruction, the Alpha and the Omega. The Serpent represents the return to the Source from whence Kaniba came, as Terrorgoat, and a reflection upon the journey from that moment to what is now. It is a union of old and new elements, of old and new themes. The Serpent represents good and evil, light and dark; the giver and taker of life. The Serpent celebrates Life as the gift which comes from the womb of Shub-Niggurath, and The Serpent celebrates Death as the sacrifice craved by the jaws of Shub-Niggurath. The Serpent is the grave, which is a womb, The Serpent is the birth occuring through demise. The Serpent is the undoing of death, and the elevation of the soul that is ascendancy. Most of all, The Serpent is the end.

Jag gillar verkligen dessa blogportaler av vänligt sinnade och samaritanska polacker som bjuder på söndagsgodis.

Konserten på Sugar Bar blev tyvärr avbokad då personalen ville sätta baren i ljudlöst läge redan vid 23 på kvällen, vilket inte tillåter fler än 2-3 akter där jag inte ingick. Synd, men det får bli någon annan gång.
Väntar istället med spänning på min fantabulösa synth som förhoppningsvis dimper in nästa vecka eller måhända veckan därefter.

Jag beställde igår ett gäng böcker efter en rekommendation på Corrupt.org's digest mailing lista. Förhoppningsvis skall dessa vara till full belåtenhet när de kommer nästa vecka. Det verkar bli en något litteraturspäckad höst för min del: Tragedins Födelse (Nietzsche), Michael Koolhaas (Heinrich von Kleist), Stäppvargen (Herman Hesse), Moby Dick (Herman Melville), Faust (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe), Resa till nattens ände (Louis Ferdinand Celine) och lite fler böcker + en lära-sig-kinesiska-bok!

Jag beställde även ett gäng skivor från en av mina favoritbutiker Release The Bats!

Ättestupa - LP
Dealing with an old era of Sweden, this is music that reeks of plague, desolate countrysides, heathen rituals and long, harsh cold winters. The debut album is a journey back to a forgotten world, an anti-urban masterpiece. With members from Leafes and Sewer Election, it would be easy to call Ättestupa off as an mix of those two acts when it comes to the sound, but there is definitely way more to it than that. With traces of dark folkmusic, 70's German prog and even some small black metal hints, this is mean-spirited stuff with an truly unique atmosphere. Crude and extremely lo-fi. If you enjoy Bo Hansson, Filosofem-era Burzum and Religious Knives you will love this slab of black hate.


Haare - Chemical Witchcraft LP
Beginning with an avalanche of skree and shimmer, Haare navigates his strange vessel, assembled from skulls and bones, sticks and twigs, leaves and dried flesh, through four extended soundscapes, each rife with high end, but offering much in the way of deep rumbling drones and buzzing black ambience. Everywhere fall hailstorms of corroded crumbling melody, so blackened they appear more as grey smears than anything resembling melodies. Malfunctioning machinery groans and whirs, clouds of warped effects are shot through with streaks of feedback like shafts of sunlight, explosions of post industrial chaos, riffs pulled to pieces, the parts nothing but jagged shards of crumbling shimmer and decayed drone, everything bathed in a gritty, grimey unearthly glow. It almost sounds like Avarus and Yellow Swans, dosed with LSD and sealed up in a cave with nothing but some busted amps, guitars with no strings, a junky 4-track and the spirit of the undead cave dwellers. Creepy and noisy, heavy and drone-y, buzzy and blackened and almost psychedelic.

Religious Knives - Resin CD
Since their first release for No Fun Productions, the collection of early LP's/singles entitled 'Remains', the Religious Knives have grown into a stunningly assured and powerful rock n' roll band of sorts, one liberally and noticeably immersed in the smoke-addled haze of the psychedelic underground. Resin marches ahead with a vigorous potency that accurately shares its bloodline with the best psychedelic acts of the past. This is Brooklyn's true Psychedelic Rock.




Och några fler. Ser särskilt fram emot att lyssna på Ättestupa LPn.

Idag kommer Petra hem från sin yoga-kurs i Stockholm. Det ska bli skönt att återses och bli ömt omhändertagen i famnen hos en omtänksam kvinna.
