Some days ago I got an idea Lana.. had issued a book of poetry… . I guess she needs some more millions of bucks to cope with. At the moment many Americans shit their pants off to pay their colossal Corona treatment bills and then comes out a local pocket-Dickinson to treat them with an additional bill (don't tell me the buying is a voluntary, non-brainwashed act regarding especially children). It would have been a nice act by her to release it for free as a thanksgiving to her fans in these dim times. At least I got inspired by the idea to go back to Cocteau Twins, and Slowdive as seminal acts and musical heroes. By thinking of Slowdive I thinking of Oasis at the same time as the dark shadow of the shoegaze legend who were dropped from the roster of Creation Records allegedly because of the Mancunians. In last years of the 90s the third album of Oasis (I could not remember the title of this hype anymore, sic!) was a main article in British second hand shops. So you can draw parallels and create a possible scenario between L and O. Could you find out Slowdive's Pygmalion in a second hand shop? Indeed, history showcases frantic paradoxes within to bring forth the truth/objective meaning. In fact, could we know the truth at the time of post-post-post-post-tttrrruuuttthhh?
There have been around a couple of guys for years who has been releasing music from a possible sonic trash (I have no exact idea of their initial sonic material and its goodness and ugliness). They started as The Fucked Up Beat and had been producing as CLOUDWARMER. The duo of Eddie Palmer and Brett Zehner have again activated during the recent year by issuing at least four releases full of sampledelic charm, haunting glimpses from the past (we are living in the past anyway), smoky jazz whiffs, skiddy trip-hop and Latin mixed rhythms. In comparison to their previous act the sound has been managed to be more pop-appealing and catchy with more accessible harmonies and compelling gears and doing away with ghastly samples related to dark events or obscure accidents during the 20th century. Beautiful shit in any cases.
