I got nothing to say  about these. Actually, I probably do. But I ran out of time and now February is almost over and I’d rather not get behind. So, here’s the music. Wait here’s some quick notes. My old roommate and I would watch Fishing with John before going to bed and we’d end up just zoning out on the title menu once it was over and Flutter would be on a loop and it was nighttime perfection. John Cale is so amazing at drones, I wish his entire career was that. I love Hot Snakes’ guitar tone and drum thunder. Now, listen.

monarch

holy shit! did you know a new monarch album came out in july? i just found out. stoked! unfortunately this album teaser thing is all i can find of it to share so far. but, it’s an awesome record from one of my favorite bands. word up.

i don’t know at what point i became such a fan of dooming droning monolith glacial metal, but it happened. be on the look out for a monarch themed wormhole that i’ll fall down and share. it seems to happen when they put out new music.

monarch! (again)

monarch!

my music palate has been changing again. i’ve started to appreciate some forms of metal. shocking! metal! what? but, it’s only the weirdo metal that i can get into. weirdos like, monarch. french metal nerds who are way slow, drone, loud. one of the things that blows me away about the following clip (which is pretty much a full set) is how quiet the drums are. think about how loud that room must be! fuck!
