#123 This town needs guns

I would describe the process of collecting stock exchange listing information for about 400 companies as everything but fun. Unfortunately (for me) that is how I spend my summer days so far, even though summer in the Netherlands is quite an abstract term.

Anyhow, the point of the short introduction was to lead to the essence of today's post. In order to keep myself NOT bored to death I've been listening an album from This Town Needs Guns (you gotta love the name of those fellas) - Animals. If I'm correct there you might be able to find their name somewhere in the blog, but my first encounter with that album was just a week ago and I'm totally digging it!

Personally, I love the artwork and the concept of naming all the songs after the animals you see in the picture (some of which I heard for first time, yeah didn't do my homework back in the days). Ok, I talked enough so let's just cut to the chase. Basically, my personal opinion of the album is quite positiveso if you have some time to waste - just dive in! My favourite "animals" are - the Pig, the Lemur, the Rabbit, the Crocodile and the Badger.

Enjoy!

#74 First breath after come /post-rock/

I just checked my last.fm page and I noticed that there is a song I played significantly more than any other song..so I played it again. And again. People describe it as psychedelic math rock (The music is often intended to have a disorienting or destabilizing effect, or to otherwise act on the listeners’ sense of “normalcy”) - you gotta love that description, right? It is not really music for the masses but hey, its pretty cool once you get into it. 

The band is Giraffes? Giraffes! - When The Catholic Girls Go Camping, The Nicotine Vampires Rule Supreme. ...haha

Ok, now let's throw some post-rock in the mix.. Explosions in the sky, which hopefully I will see live in November - First breath after coma

aaaand something a bit more hard Russian Circles - Station
