Ahh, musical lithium. When your brain is on the schiz like a motherfucker (geez, isn't your shrink, like, supposed to tell you the dangers of going off of Paxil? Be wary of the SSRI's kiddies; I always was, but got lured in and am paying the price big time), it's time to staple up the padded walls going from your ear piece to your dome piece. I don't know what padding Forest Bess might have used. He probably worked with his hands, like building boats and stuff. Big ups to Ms. Dobchron for being the light rods on that landing strip.
Didyaknow Wittgenstein, after hanging out in the trenches of WWI and penning a philosophical masterwork spent 10 years building his sister a house before writing an even greater masterwork? Or that Althusser, having spent most of his life alternating the genius mask with the crazy mask, 'accidentally' stangled his wife during one of their daily neck massage sessions? These are things I think on...
But first!
Anyone who has ever hung ten on the new wave of progressive rock that is Green Milk from the Planet Orange will likely say you haven't 'heard' the band until you've seen them live. I'd probably have to agree with that, as would Surrender and our dear friend Airchron Bonestorm because these dudes will seriously drop an m-bomb on your face. See them see them see them!!! But to get back, Bonestorm anad Surrender were lucky enough to scoop up free copies of a 20 minute improv given to those who saw them at a gig in Shibuya last June (I saw them two weeks prior and didn't get shit, though my bud Fantastic Ego was wise enough to scoop up one of their many tour exlusive 7'').
Anywho, to get to the point, this tiny trio will rattle buildings until the crumble and this is as good (and rare) of an example of their fiery superpowers.

Well, now to get to the lithium. To be honest, all I've been able to listen to for the past four days has been Neu! '75 and Neu! 4 and Azymuth (well, this wouldn't be a post of mine if I wasn't stealing some idea from ARAWA). But here are some other stock tunes to put you into instant bubble person mode. Oh, and if the lovely, lovely people at Ghostly/Spectral are reading, I gotsto put up "Deserter" because I really got tired of streaming that song 20 times a day. And while I was at it, I just couldn't resist putting up this lovely collaboration with The Mobius Band because, well, any techno producer who channels afro-pop via the Talking Heads/Eno years is my friend. Anyway, Asa Breed is going to make them so much money that they'll be able to replace their office water with some expensive European vodka. This album is going to slay everybody.

"fly away... from this... planet.. into out-er space..."
that shinjuku greenmilk gig was one of the most transcendental "rock" shows ive ever attended, and "O" is so rare its blistering, i dont think you will ever find that anywhere else, i actually asked the Count NOT to post it because its one of those secret things that only 30 people are supposed to know about.
shows who he answers to.
