Hey, just catching up on what looks likely be purely recreational
listening...a couple of albums that I liked at least medium but will
probably not be reviewing.
Alice Cohen's Pink Keys is a floaty, synthy,
soul-kissed daydream that reminds me, at its best moments, of
Bachelorette. Cohen is best known for her years fronting new wave's The
Vels, a band out of Philadelphia that once opened for the Psychedelic
Furs and the Thompson Twins. I like the way the keyboards squish and
melt all over the drum machine sounds in "Sunspots", sort of like that
Dali painting with the liquifying clock faces.
Also just passed the four-times mark on Prophet
from Ramona Falls, which is a new-ish project from Brent Knopf (ex of
Menomena). I like it. It's brainy, intricate, complicated and also
kind of haphazard at the same time, like a geodesic dome made out of
popsicle sticks.
Also, watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
again last night on Netflix and continue to believe that this is maybe
the most romantic movie ever...all about trying to preserve love against
memory, against time, against indifference. when the two of them get
to their first memory together (the last one to go), the guy says, "This
will be over soon. What do we do know." and teh girl answers: "Enjoy
it." Which is sort of how I feel about love and loss and
oblivian...been thinking about this a lot because of some medical issues
which, god I hope they're nothing...Anyway, great movie. Made me cry
again.
