Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
![]() Marnie Stern - "Put All Your Eggs In One Basket And Then Watch That Basket!!!" This is what I've been waiting for. This has been out since February and it only passed into my vision, like a meteor brings its party slowly by, just last week thanks to Matthew at Fluxblog. He describes it as "calming" and I really agree. This is the kind of fall coat you put on when you know the weather's not sweating anymore. It's a new phase, a different city, a new leaf. It's forgetting and remembering at once, the way light is a particle and a wave, depending on how you look at it. It's sad that the track only goes forward, but it's great that it goes at all. You realise that, cut, you make two. Marnie Stern - "Vibrational Match" This starts like boiling a pot of water by using lightning, and then quickly turns into a mighty steed, sturdy and galloping, ridden by Marnie Stern, hair like flames. Like a fuckin' UFO horse galloping on a cloud of metal heads, jumping dumpsters and drum kits. Such a wind, it's like singing inside the wind. Or like what the wind would sound like if it had a band, and a 'tude. This ain't your daddy's grass-swayin', do-nudgin', milquetoast wind. This a gust, the kind that gets sidewalk dirt in your eye and doesn't say sorry. [Buy] (art by Christina Kolaiti) Posted by Dan at September 4, 2007 1:39 AMComments
Man, I'm so glad that someone got something from that post. No one commented, so I figured people just shrugged it off or had already heard the record. I kinda like the first post I did about her album more, though. I think you kinda nailed "Vibrational Match." Posted by Matthew at September 4, 2007 8:09 AMYES!! Favourite album of 2007 thus far, it sounds like Nothing Else Plus Special Guests. Posted by Kathrin at September 4, 2007 8:58 AMPost a comment |
