I remember Andrew WK being massive for a little while back in the early 00s, but then he just disappeared (legal troubles apparently). Never had any real desire to rediscover just what the hell he even sounded like, but I just had the whim to check out his debut today. All his **** basically sounds the same, the wall-of-sound production makes it hard to separate the instruments, and you actually feel your brain cells dying while listening to it, but it's also quite possibly the most pure expression of euphoria and fun I've ever heard in rock music. It's Ke$ha in rock form basically, except the dumbness actually feels like a wink and a nod (possibly) from someone actively creating a musical cartoon.

And god damn it every time I listen to "Party Hard" it just makes me wanna listen to it more.

This is where I go for euphoric music.

I really need to listen to a lot more Magma, but I've been lazy.

Udu Wudu and this album are their best.

A timeless afternoon of ambient minimal piano with Harold Budd.

Opening with The Serpent (In Quicksilver) from the Les Disques Du Crépuscule label in Belgium.



And I'll be playing through much of Budd's catalog this afternoon to accompany my reading. Highlights will include Lovely Thunder, Budd's collab with Cocteau Twins for The Moon and the Melodies, Abandoned Cities, The Pavilion of Dreams, The Room, La Bella Vista, and the elegantly beautiful Eno and Daniel Lanois collaboration, The Pearl.

As The Pearl is arguably his most celebrated work, I'll embed that album below.

A brief momentary departure from the ambient bliss as my mind suddenly wandered to the closing track from Tom Waits' Mule Variations LP - "Come On Up To The House."

I was curious as to the community's interpretation of its meaning and found one plausible perspective offered from the High Fidelity music blog which stated:

Quote:
In "Come On Up The House" Tom Waits uses his grizzly bear growl, to describe a safe haven/hope in a dark world. "Well the moon is broken, And the sky is cracked, Come on up to the house." He paraphrases a question by 17th century philosopher, Thomas Hobbes, "Does life seem nasty, brutish and short?" and answers with, "Come on up the house."

In a fan forum the line, "Come down off the cross, We can use the wood" is interpreted as meaning, "That all the energy you put into self-pity in an attempt to alienate yourself or rise above everybody else, could be put into building something worthwhile."
Certainly the sort of motivational message I could use at this point in my life. Thanks, brain.
