It's a rare song that makes you think "yeah...I should really do that". The advice Prototokyo gives us in this one is something I plan on taking to heart.

Prototokyo - Bananas Du Brasil

(Also, the image search for Prototokyo was boring so here's a picture of Danny being force-fed a chip.)

all over again - jay reatard

i like this much. very much.

this next track i dedicate to my blagmate, hoone.

fading all away - jay reatard

If you've ever wondered what the scariest f*&%ing song in the universe is...there's no need to ask yourself that any more.

Sunn O))) - It Took The Night To Believe

bibio - bewley in white

the mysteryes the summer portends.

I meant to post this song years ago. Sorry for making you wait.

Bonnie Prince Billy and Tortoise - Daniel

many of you are aware that i hate space. maybe it has to do with the everyday reality of the incomprehensible, or perhaps to do with my own expanding feelings of insignificance. for whatever reason, if i never had to think about outer space again, i'd name myself content.

i'm in love, however, with those early days of space exploration, when our ambitions reached hardly further than our own earth's orbit. i seeped more than one tear of joy last sundance in the shadow of the moon, and wished i'd been born sooner, when immediate space was ours and we spun rockets off this planet with glee-shouts and beaming optimism.

this track then is that: those innocent days, when the final frontier seemed not so very far away and we were the kings of our small universe.






















the tornados - telstar

some late summer night, when the highway's unfolding empty up ahead, turn this up, up and let the earth fall away beneath you.

Who doesn't love a good banjo?

Department of Eagles is the side project of Dan Rossen (from Grizzly Bear).

Department of Eagles - No One Does It Like You

Department of Eagles - Balmy Night

galveston - glen cambell

i'm half through vernon god little which is tremendous.

dee dee king - german kid

née ramone.

The other day, my roommate asked if I would rather go to hell or jail. It's suprising how difficult that question is to answer.

Link Wray - Fire and Brimstone

late for the sky - jackson browne

Manta Ray - The Godfather

Dear Terrence,

We still have to finish this.

Forever your co-author,
Hoon.

Ps. Thank you 1.618 for posting this originally.

rave on - buddy holly and the crickets

watched the buddy holly story again the other night. a favorite. look at it.

Subtle - Middleclass Haunt

This guy's a nut. Bad puns. Knives spliting open creepy mannequin heads on stage. The works. This song is filled out by Dan Boeckner, his Wolf Paradeness.

round 2













salt lake city - the dwarves

in the interest of fairness, a less flattering view. though, i suppose if i were the dwarves and my worldview necessitated constant abject debauchery, slc wouldn't be high on my list either.

salt lake city - the beach boys

home s. home.

Ferraby Lionheart - Before We're Dead

This should be your new favorite, if for no other reason than the sweet face he makes when he sings really high. It looks like he ate something sour then stuck his head out the window of a jet going at full speed.

the kinks - living on a thin line

what are the next 30 years?

Some truly amazing music was made in Brazil in the late 60's and early 70's. These songs are a sampling. The one little brother I have is about to spend his next two years in Brazil, so this post is for him.

Lula Côrtes & Zé Ramalho - Nas Paredes da Pedra Encantada, Os Segredos Talhados por Sumé

Joyce e Nelson Angelo - Vivo Ou Morto

Thank you's to Motel de Moka for leading me to these.
