Season of Darkness LIstening
When it starts to get dark in the middle of the day, my mind starts to wander. Focusing on tasks at hand become more difficult with the absense of daylight. Caffeine and alcohol consumption goes up slitghtly and those delicious fatty foods go down the hatch. Yum! Today, I'm drinking water, pretty sure I'm done with coffee. I have a few favorite dark-season albums:
Robyn Hitchcock / I often Dream of Trains lp. The best thing RH ever did, and that's saying something. Every song drips with icicles, snowy silence, echoes and ghosts.
Bob Dylan / John Wesley Harding lp. I'm not that knowledgeable about Bob Dylan but I like this record:
I love to listen to Hellhammer in the dark with a glass of wine that looks like blood, brooding under the harsh winter moonlight. Non-homoginized punk metal that tastes of blood and defiance:
Rowland S Howard, only at full-blast, with the lights low. The realest of the real, or did he just channel the sonic saber of irony? Contradictory noise and pop and amazing songs:
Ok happy darkness.
