Today is cloudless and sunny, somewhat chilly but only if you hate wearing long sleeves. (Personally I can't get enough of 'em.)
Today's Horoscope: You will find that Aquarius has shifted 1.2 degrees from your perspective in the northern hemisphere. This means that your ability to write horoscopes will be diminished for the next week. If it shifts back into line in the next few days, however, you will find astonishing accuracy in your readings, though that isn't always a good thing.
Staying next to my dad in the hospital today; great view of the gold coast from his room.
The medical industry was designed specifically to keep me out of the medical industry. Everything is neat and tidy and orderly, things are precise and perfect. I am none of these things. If you ever see me in a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around my neck you better fucking run.
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: This week has been a tug-of-war between Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) by Brian Eno and Houndog by Houndog.
The former has been sitting in my collection since 7th grade. The latter just made its way onto my laptop about a week ago, and I'm not sure how.
Of Eno's discography I've always been partial to Here Come the Warm Jets, then Another Green World, then Before and After Science, and then Ambient 1: Music For Airports, and then Discreet Music, and then My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, and then Thursday Afternoon and then everything else. TTM(BS) has always been overlooked for whatever reason. No. There has never been a reason. I guess that line from The Fat Lady of Limbourg about the "jellyfish kiss" kind of weirded me out.
And if Bauhaus's cover of Third Uncle isn't one of my favorites on its own how I am going to take in the original properly?
TTM(BS) is defintely an A side kinda album tho. It has this strong start, Mother Whale Eyeless is a great example of that 60s-70s through-composed rock-song experiment. Still doesn't top Happiness is a Warm Gun in that field but it's still really fucking good. Back in Judy's Jungle has this really great hook, this awesome melody line that has that familiarity you just can't place, something along the lines of that weird little oompah-loompah hook in Moonage Daydream.
Houndog is just a good album. I've only been on it for today but it sounds like my kind of bag. http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=3524
It just fits the mood lately.
