it’s valentine’s day, and i’m catatonic long time, no write. it’s new years eve, and i care not. as i post, it’s the first day of the next year. the […]

i figured it was probably self-evident, but while i planned to listen to music every night while visiting family many miles from home, this has not happened (obviously). normal broadcast […]
this is where i started with archers of loaf. yes, i was a late-comer, as i’ve explained before. in my last year of uni, this formed an appropriately dystopian, heavy […]
this still exists as my favourite, closest-to-heart release by dave pajo (in parallel with three in the audio tour diary series). not every song can stand on its own two […]
it is definitively summer here in the south. yet more customary storms rolled through complete with ample thunder, forked lightning and heavy downpours. this is what has made me want […]
i feel a little stuck right now. cornered by randomness. see, i am picking my way through without much deliberation or reason. and for the third time in as many […]
i am really not sure what to say about this one. it was another soundtrack to making gingerbread. i am also not sure whether it really warrants a revisit when […]

this is kinda cheating. i half listened to this as i visited and talked with friends. does it count? perhaps not, since it is not in my own collection. i can’t […]
it’s warm. it’s dark. a cold front is trying desperately to cut across these hills. the air is heavy with the smell of bushfire. a few strong beers; it’s heady. […]
this is what i get for buying a cd on purely aesthetic and cost-based grounds ($5). it was a recent acquisition, but the ep is eight years old. so i […]
i can’t help but hear a more hi-fi cum electronic version of early built to spill, or almost direct take on mid-career flaming lips. i honestly think i have never […]
i can’t hear it played fast no more i took this out to show someone today, noting the release of a 20th anniversary cover album from john king and co. […]
