Eye Shaking King, what do you make of the new Big Blood album? I'll probably pick it up when I get the funds.


Milton Nascimento & Lo Borges - Clube da Esquina

I'm not completely sold on it yet. For something that's supposed to their proper full length official debut, their isn't really that sufficient jump in quality to take the band's popularity to the next level. Fans of the band will like it. & that's about it; not amazing by any stretch. Though, if I can get over the atypical abundance of electric guitar on it, it might grow on me.o

Their recent tape on Cabin Floor Esoterica is a total departure though. Shorter, weirder & more instrumental songs, conceived as a tribute to Moondog - 'Night Terrors On The Isle Of Louie Hardin'.


Also, re: that Clube Da Esquina record - I listened to that this week too, just forgot to list it. Seriously good though...

Thanks for the heads up, ESK. Even the name 'Night Terrors On The Isle Of Louie Hardin' sounds more inspired than Dead Songs. I might have to see where I put my old casette player before I pick it up, though. Does this mean the Tape Comeback starts here? These are interesting times.


And for the record, I really like Parallelograms. When she's at her best- Chimacum Rain, Hey, Who Really Cares? & the title track- she gets into this airy, wispy vibe that could last forever. The whole record isn't quite up to the quality of those three songs, but it's definitely worth upgrading from your wishlist to your record pile.
