New Order - Crystal

I woke up with this song on my mind. It makes me think of my friend Joe Grez and the first time I heard the song, in Dublin with him at the wonderful Whelan's venue. We saw a couple great bands that night, New Prayer Breakfast and the inimitable Daemian Frost, who I really need to get on the ball, rip their ep and post it. SOOOOOO awesome.

M83/Susanne Sundfor on Kimmel

Still no interest in seeing this movie, but this is fantastic. So weird to see M83 introduced as a string section along w/ Anthony Gonzalez and crew. I can't be happier for their success (though I still wonder why Midnight City is the only single that's blown up when there's like five or six from Hurry Up, We're Dreaming and they're ALL AWESOME!

A Place to Bury Strangers - Don't Burn the Fires

A Dead Moon cover - I've never heard of Dead Moon but after this I am most definitely going to be looking into them.

Ghost BC - Secular Haze Live in Linkoping

And to be complete I should post this as well. LOVE the stained glass in the background.

Both these last two posts for Secular Haze can be found - along with a WEALTH of awesome imagery that will only further enhance the perona of this amazing band - on their website, which can be accessed via the following links.

Ghost BC - Secular Haze

I'm so wrapped up in this ghost record right now that I'm revisiting a lot of the tracks and images released in the lead-up to it. I realized I never posted this one.

This and Nick Cave and the Bad Seed's Push the Sky Away are easily going to rank in my top ten of the year.

Savages - Shut Up

New Savages. I'm liking this band more and more. Had a chance to see them last Thursday at the Echo (I think it was the Echo). I should have gone, but when wake up time is 430AM, it's hard to head out for a nine PM show.

And that's me done being acting like an old fuck for a while. 37 is not that old, especially when stoked on music like this all the time.

End blathering.
