Don't Call Me Whitney, Bobby

the day has turned to night. a sunny day has turned to a stormy night.
this i am thankful for...

i love a stormy night.
it plays to my sexual nature.
sometimes i forget that i am such
a sexual being and it is little things like
storms, lightning, wind, and thunder that
remind me of this fact.

today was filled with trance
techno
shoegaze
arab strap
and
ebm

lots of randomness

overflowing emotions
memories of those i have
recently lost and those
lost years ago...

missing people i haven't seen
in ages and someone i have yet to meet.

and i am a cocktail of happiness, sadness, fear,
and love.

Boris with Michio Kurihara was possibly the most awaited event of the year in my book. However!! This gig was almost completely ruined by the supremely bad sound that the techs gave us. We in the front row (the only place i listened from) could not hear one single word of the vocals while the music was playing. NOT ONE!! I dont think i heard Wata play at all. Michio played a lot, but his music was torn apart by the bad sound and most of the time it sounded like they all played different songs with a muted vocalist. Sometimes i thought i would hear him better directly than through the speakers.

On the good side, they played a number of songs which are beautiful (I know they are from many hours of listening bofore this gig), and visually it was really nice. I have never taken such pretty gig-photos as I did here. Lots of light! thanks! Another saving factor was that they came back and played an extra song. Arrigato for that. Atsuo also stagedived which was nice. Especially since he didnt stagedive on me. Thank you Atsuo.

Perusing the width of my archives, you've doubtlessly come across me using the word "cull", immediately followed by a list of songs and some choice words. Since your perusing was limited to merely the width, not the length of my archives, it's probable that you might be a bit confused as to what this cull business is all about. Fret no more, imaginary reader, as I set you right.

The Cull
I don't listen to complete records on my computer, nor do I play single tracks over and over again. Why? Well, if you're a last.fm user, you probably have quirky music-related habits of your very own. If not...? I listen to albums in my room, in the living room, in the bathroom. On the computer/internet, I like to discover new music. So, I peruse my favourite music blogs, Pitchfork, the Hype Machine and various print magazines to find exciting new music, procure single track samples (legally and illegally), whereupon I proceed to feed said tracks into an ever-changing playlist exactly 40 tracks strong. …
