Creation and destruction are inseparable. Sometimes you have to break everything down to start something new. This play list is meant as a follow up on last week’s Late Night Bathtub List. However this week will be entirely different. Better yet. Entirely the opposite, but both share the same purpose. Both are meant to bring you at rest by taking away cluttered tension, thoughts and stress.
Last week’s play list aims to do this through soft and calming sounds. But sometimes it’s of no use trying to sooth your stress and restlessness. Sometimes there’s no way you can escape from it and trying to calm it will only make it worse. The adrenaline is racing through your veins and the last thing you need is soft tunes to irritate your restless feelings. You need to get it out of your system. To get rid of the stress you need to face it, look it straight in the eyes. This week’s play list will punch you in the face so hard, it will crumble every last part of stress inside your body. It will calibrate your brain, burn down everything bothering you and put everything in a new perspective. The energy sparks from these songs, like the crackling you get when using 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 wife duo 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.

Man, taking me forever to download everything, still not complete.
btw, talking about art-rock/noise and dark ambient Wolf-eyes and Anthony Braxton live CD is pretty interesting. I like the electronic distortion in it. it’s a madhouse with a method.

A bit late to comment on this one but I’m new to the blog and i just bumped into this and thought it’s amazing. Really good post, suprised by the l3k of comments. You Rock! keep on bringing the good music!
I think it has to do with the music. Sometimes people are too busy and downloading then listen…and go somewhere else.
in my experiance people only comment when they have strong opinion about a music.
