Music Review No. 1

The Thermals: I Might Need You To Kill
Pretty sweet and the guitar is pretty sweet.

Giacomo Scelsi: Ygghur for Violincello Solo
Its originality makes me roll on the floor.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe: My Journey To The Sky
Only the best song ever written.

James Brown: People Get Up and Drive Your Funky Soul
The tops. It makes me wave my arms like a crazy person.

Feist: The Park
Pretty sweet.

György Ligeti: Lux Aeterna
Even better outside the conext of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Apparently simpler to perform than it sounds. Basically the best choral piece ever in the world.

Merzbow: Woodpecker No. 2
It's like, "turn this noise down," but without the value judgment. The recording is just at a very high volume and I was fairly to moderately startled when the track came on in the shuffle.

Esther Phillips: Do Right Woman, Do Right Man
I wept for hours and hours.

White Rabbits: The Plot
Only the best song ever.
