Pretty (Ugly Before)
Elliott Smith: From A Basement On the Hill
Fall is coming and melancholy rests her heavy head on my moods. Elliott take me away... (*****)
This better go as planned
Calla: Collisions
I've been a Calla fan ever since that long lost summer of heartbreak when I went to San Francisco's Amoeba's Records to find solace in wrist cutting suicidal heroinic sublime acoustical nirvana. Calla is in transition but the same ol threads of southwest drone still faintly weave a patching tapestry to my heart. (****)
Postales
Federico Aubele: Gran Hotel Buenos Aires
He's Argentine, his friends have sultry female vocals and it's downtempo with Guitar; what more could you ask for alterative Nuevo Tango music? The Thievery Corporation has faith. I predict DJs from Le Catedral to Cellspace will be discovering this soon. (*****)
Sullen Girl
Fiona Apple: Tidal
What the hell happened to her? Shooting star soon fades. Beautiful while it lasted. (*****)
Lucky
Radiohead: Ok Computer
Countries have fallen, corporations rule.
What a glorious apocalpyse! (*****)
Ya ehala domoy
Irina Epifanova: Sacred Treasures III: Choral Masterworks from Russia
downtempo euro-tango. I want to go home with you.... (*****)
Emotional Rescue
Rolling Stones: Forty Licks
old skool rocking blues by grandparents?! I'll be your savior, stay fast and true, I'll come to your emotional rescue... (*****)
Yumeji's Theme
Shigeru Umebayashi: House of Flying Daggers
Vals, Waltz whaddeva y'call it. Beautiful and sublime in a chinesy way. A definite nuevo tango tune (*****)
If I'd Found The Right Words To Say
Snow Patrol: When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up
Yes, you can do the 8 count basico to Snow Patrol! Perfect for those sexy tanguera fantasies. Melt me creamy... (*****)
Blow Up The Outside World
Soundgarden: Superunknown
Another ready-to-explode-I'm-gonna-go-postal-song they we all blessedly cherish on those "special" days. (*****)
Cold Shot
Stevie Ray Vaughn: Stevie Ray Vaughan - Greatest Hits
Punk'd. Stevie is a genius. (*****)
Dimmest Star
The Pernice Brothers: Overcome by Happiness
I once fell madly in love with a woman and listened to this song over 153 times in my bereaved requitement. It's a low shoegazing winner (*****)
Mare Imbrium
Varnaline: Sweet Life
Look up Mare Imbrium. Sounds like a love song, but Anders is singing about the Luna. I admit she is pretty. (*****)
Manana Zarpa Un Barco
Lucio Demare: Grandes Exitos Con Miranda, Beron Y
I'm on a boat. It's leaving and there's nothing in my heart, but you. A Raul Beron masterpiece. (*****)
