r.i.p. jay bennett

jay bennett died on sunday. he was a genius and, to me, key to wilcos finest work. check out his solo albums. he was fucking brilliant.

swans- see no more

violent. heavy. when i get that faraway look in my eyes, this is the sound in my head. the swans make me feel like what i imagine beating a man to death with a bat would feel like.
enjoy!

x-ray spex- germ free adolescence

can you imagine there was once a time where a band as incredibly great as the x-ray spex could appear on television? modern media sucks.

billy bragg- the milkman of human kindness

why is billy bragg known as a political songwriter when his love songs are so wonderful? sad, empathetic, loving, and, well, kind.
this is the song that anyone who is hurting should have sung to them.

sun ra

noise or a burst of honest expression? beats me. but i've watched this 6 times in a row and i find it violently affecting. like and earthquake in my teeth. if everyone lost themselves in music the way ra does here the world would be a better place. and what a fucking racket it would be!
