R. Stevie Moore - Beyond Capacity
Perfume Genius - Put Your Back N 2 It
A good song about love, or, a good song about sex - which is rarer?
Freestyle Fellowship - 7th Seal
Grip it on like 7 different levels
Danny Brown - DNA
A perfect three minute rough gem, in my opinion; the instrumental is just sweet.
The Walkmen - In the New Year
Apart from two highlights that spring to mind (going to Barcelona and falling in love) 2011 could be considered a big waste of time from my perspective. No tangible progress made in terms of any goals or ambitions I pretend to have.
I do, however, feel different in myself. I’ve had a lot of emotional/mental difficulties to chew through. Most of the hard lifting was done in 2010 but only now are things coming back together. New and promising things could happen in 2012 for us, reader. I give you the same advice, the only advice, I can give myself - don’t fuck things up.
The Weeknd - The Zone
Entirely my favourite song right now. Every day, on repeat, can’t stop.
‘House of Balloons’ was my favourite album of 2011 after Colin Stetson’s ‘Judges’. ‘Thursday’ doesn’t reach the same highs but when you can come away with tracks like this, who’s complaining?
Original composition by Emily Howell
I’ve never done good things
I’ve never done bad things
I never did anything
Irma Vep - It Runs Slow
5 days, 2 months off a year to the day. Close enough.
Halloween soda
