Speaking of the gothic world of Nick Cave, god, I've been listening so much lately to this Black Heart Procession + Solbakken In The Fishtank thing from last year and it's just been so knocking me out. Only 6 songs, but I love every one of them. It just shouldn't be this good, but apparently these guys played together some over in Europe and had a chance to experiment with some ideas before hitting the studio for the normal whirlwind recording of this series. Just incredible, and also just reaffirms my belief that BHP is one of the best bands working today. Can't wait for their next album. Wonder if their next one is actually gonna be the reunion of Three Mile Pilot? The rejoining of Black Heart Procession and Pinback. I know they've been working on it, allthough I guess there's been some family additions and stuff like that to slow down the project. But this one I'm listening to right now for the 53rd time is a great taste of things to come. Love it when Pall sings the most, but the Solbakken guy isn't bad either. And they have this Rachael chick in the mix too, especially on the opening track, trading verses with Pall, her in French and him in English, almost like Laetitia from Stereolab. Very cool. Voiture En Rogue. Love it. Music is so cool

Happy Merry Christmas Holidays New Years! Time to open a beer. Anyone else around here enjoy the occasional adult beverage? Bass Ale about to provide the illusion of peace love and understanding for me today. Rockin in the free world!

There is a dog
that waits for me
at my front door
it lays asleep
and everytime
I'd like to leave
it starts to bark
or it follows me ... and I don't need a dog

only angels have wings
