Boy Harsher THE RUNNER (ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK) (2022)

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

  Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

a detective novel investigating the occulted origins and international network of Nazi interests, with a thousand vectors spinning off it, almost like a bomber throwing off chaff, decoys, flares, tracers; on a holy mission to find and reveal the fascist underground that preceded and survived WWII, an enemy who can't be directly named but lies beneath our feet like some unitary fungus kingdom of decay, that's been alive for millennia and will continue to send forth fruiting bodies until we find its core

Burial STREETLANDS (2022)

 

my Russian Cirles hoodie got recognized on the street today by the way hip owner of a boutique used book shop who played classical off an old radio, and chess in gallery with a skinny lil sidekick, a life of leisure I'll never know, contentment and courage in corduroy

Elk Witch BEYOND THE MOUNTAIN (2022)

Medford is a pretty dope lil town and being in its best metal band must be a nice feeling, like a suit that fits just right. life doesn't have to be so hard.

Emeralds SOLAR BRIDGE (2022)

vibes ain't been close to right since the pandemic, truly fucked times. reading GRAVITY'S RAINBOW, one of the heaviest books of all-time, and it feels like escapism.

Viul & Benoit Pioulard KONEC (2022)

The Microphones MICROPHONES IN 2020 (2020)

 

the Olympic Peninsula gets a lotta rain and all the glory but did you know that the yearly record rainfall in the contiguous United States was on Laurel Mountain, in Oregon? 50 inches in December 1996 alone. this sounds like that. in a firetower. having lost your love and a movie star. having a daughter to raise without her knowing you're already a ghost.

Cole Pulice SCRY (2022)

 

hella nice vibes here from Oakland

Tortoise MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE (1996)

 

The year is 1996. The lads at DARPA, In-Q-Tel, the Rand Corporation, and the Stanford Research Institute had to put their heads together. The kids are getting too damn cool. How would they sabotage this? Possibilties: N64, Mad Cow Disease, Olympics Nail bomb, Ted was arrested, Tiger debuted, Tupac died, JBR, fucking Space Jam came out, idk folks, I'm just spitballing, seems like we fucked up somewhere along the way!
