In 1972, after creating music with Serge Gainsbourg including the 1970 arguable masterpiece Histoire de Melody Nelson, French composer Jean Claude Vannier made one of the most glorious, delirious, and baffling albums of the last half century. (For the record I have two of the same exact blue sweater) Anyone who has seen me in the last few months knows this outfit has been my winter uniform. It wasn’t until the next day that I realized the human was wearing jeans and a blue sweater. Removing the arms and deftly carving into it was in no way gross or bloody even if I was slightly self-conscious in the dream. Similar to a normal animal butchering, the man had already been drained of his blood. With a long boning knife I started cutting it up as it lay on the floor.

The human body in question was a headless male figure. Within the dream there seemed to be nothing strange or out of the ordinary about this. *big shout out to rude boy number one Augustus and the whole bushwick dub massive!Ībout a week ago, I had a dream that after taking part in a Pig Butchering class at Brooklyn Kitchen I found myself in the store cutting up a human being. shivkumar sharma, brijbushank kabra, haripreasad chaurasia bhoop ghara-dadra the walker brothers i can't let that happen to youġ5. wale (w/bun b, pusha t) the feature heavy songġ3. A 'best of-year in review' is on the way wherein I will elaborate more but in the meantime please enjoy!ĩ. Enjoy.It's a New Years Mixtape! Strolling through the 2,900 or so songs I added to my iTunes this year in order to prepare this mix yielded some interesting surprises including a renewed interest in American music or at least music sang in the English language (as opposed to Portuguese), a deeper focus on early American blues and mid 20th century Soul and Funk, as well as an overall obsession with the unending complexities and beauty of the human voice in song. With the singles Million Gray, Ugly on the Inside, and The Phantom's Toast going to college radio, and Noller gathering up his merry band of players for another USA tour, Skittish will soon be coming to a town near you. Each song has elements of oldies nostalgia, but Noller's lush instrumentation and confessional lyrics cut these gems into true post-modern folk-rock mutants. Written and Recorded by Jeff Noller, the only constant member of Skittish, Tragedy of the Commons mixes the song-smithing of Bright Eyes with the blatant catchiness of Weezer. Tragedy of the Commons is a semi-autobiographical collage of the different people the main character meets on a journey across modern-day America. While the more "well-adjusted" among us may breeze through life on a lollipop gondola, the newest release from Skittish is for those who have found themselves in bad situations, and had the courage to change.
