Funeral Song by Minks

Giving into the malaise, and listening to this.

DMCA takedown requests are not cool. It’s just a blog post of a song from an album that is already widely leaked. Come the fuck on.

I’ve been stuck listening to this in poor quality, but I think I can pass preliminary judgment. It’s good. I find myself listening to it all the time. I’d post an audio track, but I rather wait for higher quality files.

Ode on Melancholy by Keats.

Sun, 18 Jul 2010 22:32:00 -0500

No, no! go not to Lethe, neither twist

Wolf’s-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous wine;

Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kiss’d

By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine;

Make not your rosary of yew-berries,

Nor let the beetle, nor the death-moth be

Your mournful Psyche, nor the downy owl

A partner in your sorrow’s mysteries;

For shade to shade will come too drowsily,

And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul.

But when the melancholy fit shall fall

Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,

That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,

And hides the green hill in an April shroud;

Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose.

Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave,

Or on the wealth of globèd peonies;

Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows,

Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave.

And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes.

She dwells with Beauty—Beauty that must die;

And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips

Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh,

Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips:

Ay, in the very temple of Delight

Veil’d Melancholy has her sovran shrine,

Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue

Can burst Joy’s grape against his palate fine;

His soul shall taste the sadness of her might,

And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

Me and the Moon by the Drums

Still torn about the vocals and what I think of the album, but worth a listen.

Caecilla by Fennesz

Here’s an old song which I greatly enjoy. It really does capture the essence of summer in a relaxing and somewhat noisy way.

Long Flight by Future Islands

This album is excellent. The vocals are varied, and they take some time to appreciate, but it’s very worth it.

Doe Deer by Crystal Castles

This track has grown on me. I enjoy the chaos and noisiness of it.

Velvet by the Big Pink

I didn’t care much for this band or album at first, and I admit that the lyrics are kind of tacky, but I’ve grown to enjoy it.
