Oh hey, the new songs are working on Incendiary Lit now
Not sure why, but the media player finally decided to take to the new playlist I’d uploaded. If you haven’t checked it out, the first song is rap, I’m sorry, but “Yesterday” off Atmosphere’s new CD When Life Gives You Lemons You Paint That Shit Gold is I think one of the better examples of competent hip hop. But maybe I’m biased cuz I can remember riding the city bus home from Cheapo blasting my new copy of Overcast so loud on my off-brand discman that the driver could hear it from the back. Or because my dad recently passed, and once again Sean Daley touches on a nerve with his lyrics (also see Body Pillow, swingin’ back an forth…) But for the most part it’s a mellow mix of acoustic and instrumentals that will either aid in your reading of the site with their soothing melodies, or intrigue the poetic side of your brain with their interesting narrative. Both lyric and musical. Another thing I should point out is a line from Ben Folds’ “Fred Jones Part 2″: “There’s an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall” which is the perfect description. You can totally see the young employee in charge of leading the old one off the premises. That’s a really, really sad song right there. Then “Bright Eyes I always associate with the Black Rabbit and Richard Adams. I can attribute his fatalistic rabbits in Watership Down for my entry into the world of poetry, so it’s a soft spot for me. And damn. I’m for some reason, at this moment, also hooked on asian pianists. Joe Hisaishi and Nobuo Uematsu especially, though Joe didn’t made it in just yet. Also, poor poor Buzz. I hope you enjoy the songs, and would love to hear feedback of what you’d like to hear in the future.
