Tempourment // Sitting Duck


Non-interpersonal love is something that goes unnoticed when referring to the word "love." What do you love? I feel like I rarely see people I know glowing at the thought of something happening unless it's social. Excited, sure, but not so much with an air of aloofness(aloofness?)..sitting above all the concerns and grievances of their day-to-day. Not that this is absent, but I don't think I see it enough. This may even apply for myself, didn't Jung suggest that observations are usually turned inward? Some old fuck did, I don't remember. Once there was an impression made of me where someone kept talking about their drums and how loud they are...So I'm guessing my "love" has definitely transferred itself publicly to others' knowledge. Among others..I have a fleeting love for film. It comes and goes.
I think I refer to passion too much as a gauge of worth rather than a point in someone's development. I don't care as much about the things I used to care about, and I care about things I didn't care about before. People changing is really the thing to get used to. Lately, some people close to me have undergone drastic changes(according to themselves) and I'm seeing the glow emerge once again. I want to live parallel to those I care about, if the stuff of life is change.













Bill Frisell w/Dave Holland & Elvin Jones

^^Good guitar/jazz record. If you don't like Elvin Jones' drumming, you can pretty much stop saying you like drums around me. While he's not as wild as he was in his Impulse days on this record(came out like 9 years ago), he definitely holds his own. Frisell's guitar work is soothing and tense. If you like acoustic guitar, jazz or any of Frisell's work on Earth's Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull, get this.



Totalitar - Luftslott EP
^^Just some dbeat for yaz.





Can - Soon Over Babaluma


^^
Even if you don't think you like krautrock, take a listen to these grooves and say you're not stoned.

Resonance

Played a house show Friday, haven't done that in a while. Was too good.

Dabbling in rye whiskey.

Pelt - Empty Bell Ringing in the Sky

This record is an old favorite. Kind of obvious, and it's definitely no Ayahuasca but it's beautiful natural drones from Jack Rose's old band Pelt. Listen for deep inner beauty.

Mississippi Fred Mcdowell - Steakbone Slide Guitar

Fred Mcdowell has become a new favorite of mine. Giving me insight to vocals and slide guitar that I didn't think possible. If you like this album check out I Do Not Play No Rock and Roll.

I've been recording with Sungod a little bit. Just demoing/fleshing out songs. It's going better than ever and Braden's engineering has only gotten cleaner and more rich.

I'll be up and down the west coast in January, which excites me. Some awesome weather and a good time to be out on tour. I had originally planned to go to Fairbanks, Alaska in January but that surprise plan got nixed. Regardless, I will be in great weather with most of my favorite people. There is no feeling bad about that.

Feel right.
