Human Condition By Pretty Sick

Everything about this song and album. A friend of mine put me on to this and I still remember the night I listened to the whole thing. Life altering shit!!! A no-skips album. The freedom your being sold is just submission Wanna keep you content and under supervision They got you convinced that ignorance is bliss in Some ever-changing mind Erasing human condition I don’t have time to worry about if I am trapped and if there’s any way out I don’t have time Word. ✍️

Smile - the fall

Particularly, the Peel Session version. I listen to this most days before work, Mark E. Smith was always able to create this bleak atmosphere, pulling all the annoying things from the mundane. All punk seems like a charade in comparison to this, this is the only song that matters sometimes, all that anger.

JON GIBSON - “TWO SOLO PIECES”

TWO  SLABS OF CLASSIC DOWNTOWN MINIMALISM FROM THE LONG TIME PHILIP GLASS ENSEMBLE MEMBER.  I WRITE THIS TO YOU STATIONED AT AN ALBANIAN CAFE IN TORONTO’S EAST END. THEY HAVE MASSIVE 4K SCREENS SHOWING THE PRODUCTION OF SAVORY CRÊPES IN GROTESQUE DIGITAL DETAIL. THERE IS AN EDM COVER OF LINKIN PARK’S “NUMB” PLAYING. WHAT A HIDEOUS DESCRIPTION.  BUT I RETURN DAILY.  THEY PULL ESPRESSO SHOTS WITH CREMA THAT IS SO THICK YOU COULD DROP A MARBLE ONTO IT AND IT WOULD STRETCH DOWN SIX INCHES WITHOUT BREAKING AND THROW THE MARBLE BACK AT YOU WITH SO MUCH FORCE THAT IT WOULD HIT YOU IN THE FACE AND LEAVE AN EXIT WOUND THE SIZE OF A COOKIE AT THE BACK OF YOUR SKULL.  BUT TODAY I NEED TO FOCUS. SO I PUT ON JON GIBSON’S “TWO SOLO PIECES”.  GIBSON WAS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE PHILIP GLASS ENSEMBLE. THIS WAS RELEASED ON PHIL’S CHATHAM SQUARE LABEL IN 1978.  THE FIRST SIDE, “CYCLES” IS A LONG, IMMENSE AND ENVELOPING DRONE PIECE PERFORMED ON A CHURCH ORGAN.  PLAY IT LOUD ENOUGH AND IT WILL RE-PLASTER YOUR WALLS.  SIDE TWO IS AN UNTITLED SOLO EXCURSION ON ALTO FLUTE THAT WANDERS, LOOPS, CYCLES AND DANCES LIKE AN ARPEGGIATED SYMPHONY OF THOSE THOUGHT BUBBLES THAT APPEAR IN THE LIMINAL PRE-DREAM SLUMBER ZONE.  MUSIC TO GET LOST IN.  MUSIC THAT DOESN’T MOVE.   NOT MUCH ELSE TO SAY. JUST PUT IT ON.  PLAY SIDE ONE VERY LOYD.  TURN SIDE TWO DOWN TO THE LEVEL WHERE IT IS BARELY AUDIBLE…JUST ABOVE THE THRESHOLD OF AUDIBILITY.  PREPARE GREEN TEA, BUT NOT LIKE A BLOODY AMERICAN. USE LOOSE LEAF. STEEP ONLY MOMENTARILY IN WATER THAT IS JUST BELOW THE BOILING POINT. THE ENTIRE GOAL IS TO SIMPLY STAIN THE WATER WITH TEA. THAT’S IT. STOP DOING SO MUCH. STOP GOING OVERBOARD. RELAX. YOU ARE DOING TOO MUCH. YOU AREN’T AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR OVERPAID THERAPIST MAKES YOU THINK ARE. THIS IS A GOOD THING.  HOW CAN YOU BE A MAIN CHARACTER IN A PICTURE STARRING AN ENSEMBLE CAST OF THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF HUMANITY?  REST IN PEACE JON GIBSON.

Latte Art

I'm not obsessed with it but it's always sweet when the barista does something cool. This one yesterday made me smile because after seeing a few others I realised the guy was doing Pokémon! Fairly certain mine is mew or Mewtwo, I saw him do a horsea, pikachu, and squirtle too...

THE EXORCIST

Feels a bit redundant to recommend one of the most popular movies of all time, but for me this one had kind of stayed in the category "I'm sure it's good, I'll get to it some day". A friend put it on and I absolutely adored it – it wasn't just a great, scary horror movie – it covered a breadth of genres, was written really well, had great acting, and looked just wonderful.

Watching your breath Dissipate

Not to get too poetic on Main, but we're all so used to the idea of our breath fogging up as we walk in the cold. Sometimes you have to turn around as you're walking and watch the remainder of your breath disappear into the air. Best recommended for the drunk walk home from the pub.
