Sample lyrics from track “Doomscrollers”:

Blackberry pie a la mode
Black coffee, no tomorrow
No one to be, nothing to see
Clouds hide the stars
And the helicopters

“Heite grob ma Tote aus” by Voodoo Jürgens. The Viennese have such a dark & lovely sense of Weltschmerz & hoorah hijinx nonetheless. The song is literally about “hey, let’s unearth some corpses” and have a leichenschmaus (feast for the dead). This world, so build upon layer upon layer of death. Fuck.

Entry no. 16 in the #WhirlySquirrellygig playlist of current faves. “Blue Speck” by the sublime Black Flower from Belgium. All their songs really, but here it is the summertime (in the n. hemisphere) and this is on the summertime playlist. Let’s take care of this blue speck we share. It’s all we’ve got. Mutual aid, y’all. We belong to no one. We belong together. All we have is each other.

Entry no. 17 in the #WhirlySquirrellygig playlist of current faves. “Singularity 08: Tell Me Not Here" by the enigmatic Vanishing Twin. If only there were more 19-minute explorations of a landscape as cohesive & near in form to exquisite samplings of variations in the alluvium of a notion or nearness to a tidal pool of subterranean subconscious.

Entry no. 18 in the #WhirlySquirrellygig playlist of current faves. “Wider Than Itself" again by Vanishing Twin. Perhaps you are a Stereolab fan, as I am. Perhaps you like their songs which are like a leisurely meander in a hazy, dream-like day with no beginning and no end, in a wooded cityscape that is both familiar and strange… This landbase is sublime, subscendent, and is wider than ourselves.

@blankfrank Entry no. 20 in the #WhirlySquirrellygig playlist of current faves. “Nokturn (Grand Finale)” by Axel Boman. This song “slaps,” as the kids say. Try listening & not dancing: I dare you.
