0154 Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavilion
(USA, 2009, psychedelic pop / neo-psychedelia)

The more time that passes between now and that what was once Animal Collective, the more convinced I become that this is drug music. Not that you have to take drugs or that you should to appreciate this, but that the music is like…“hey drugs!” Is this the kind of semi-surreal stuff that flows through the average tripping brain? Anyway, the music is pretty catchy and experimental overall, and though it’s a bit disjointed in spots, overall it holds together.

0155 БГ – Русский альбом
(Russia, 1992, contemporary folk / singer-songwriter)

I really know nothing about this guy, but I like what I hear. Side A grabs me and holds my interest enough to carry me through good-but-not-as-good side B. The Russian folk elements found in the accordion, mandolin, violin, and cello set a small fire beneath the more contemporary folk phrasings.

That’s Boris Grebenshchikov. He’s a very major figure in Russian rock.
He also had a popular band called Aquarium that had as a member, the great, Sergey Kuryokhin.

Yeah. I painted my walls black a couple years ago.

To make them look bigger?

Zhanteimi · 02-12-2019, 07:47 PM

No, for two reasons: (1) my kids and their grubby paws all over everything, and (2) candle soot.

0156 Purity Ring – Another Eternity
(Canada, 2015, synthpop)

Not much synthpop in my collection, and this one seems to be an album pretty much disregarded by music nerds. Too bad, because it’s chill, fun, and beautiful. It’s not some amazing, engaging piece of art like a lot of the albums in my collection, but sometimes it’s nice to spin something that requires nothing more from me than to mindlessly relax and enjoy.

Candle soot? From you having a glass of wine in your bubble bath?
