Late Night Bathtub List
December 28, 2006 at 5:28 pm
All kinds of exciting things can happen in bathtubs, I don’t think I need to remind you. But sometimes we need a little relaxing too. Not just our body, but especially our mind. Just to get rid of all the distortion and noise that collects within our heads over time and disrupts our thoughts and emotions. Luckily, bathtubs will help us here too. Whether your tub is made from fibreglass, porcelain, wood, acrylic or steel, it’s the universal manner of relaxing our senses and collecting our thoughts. The soft sounds of the water splashing, the shimmering light reflecting on the rippling surface, the warm feeling of the texture of water on your skin, the slight echo of the bathroom magnifying every sound. You can feel the tension seeping from your tired body and mind.
This list is especially for those occasions. Late at night, when it feels as if the world is at sleep, you can finally be at ease and forget about the stress that comes with our modern, fast-paced society. Turn off the lights and close your eyes, all you need is a tub, some hot water, a headache and this play list.

Great list! However, a perfect song to go in this list is Drop, by Cornelius on his album Point.
Anyways, I think especially that Shuttle 358 song is great!
Thanks Eric, also for your suggestion! :-)
This list is awesom. Everybody should download the entire thing.
The picture is very ugly I must say tho’ heh heh…
Thanks Squashed! I really hope there’s someone out there who has actually tried it in a bathtub! Wouldn’t that be great? :)
About the picture, it was mostly selected based on functionality: bathtub, 1st person perspective, dark… I had a nicer one also but it wasn’t dark so it wouldn’t seem right with the “late night” theme. Me likes the stained glass and stylish, old fashioned faucet very much though:

[...] Published by Bubbachups January 8th, 2007 in Rock. Cover art: Birchville Cat Motel “Our Love Will Destroy the World” (Pseudo Arcana, 2006) Creation and destruction are inseparable. Sometimes you have to breakusing one of those sadistic electrical mosquito catchers. How absurd it may sound at first, “Our Love Will Destroy the World” makes sense in some ways. This is maybe best portrayed by The Goslings, a husband and wifeduo from Florida. Listen to their track and you’ll immediately understand how their love for each other is capable of destroying everything just through their music. It’s the heaviest and most distorted and gut wrenching chunk of noise you can imagine. But those who listen carefully will find something beautiful underneath even the most crunching guitar noise.
