Okay, so, time for some new wave love to make up for the fact that I only posted once on this blog and never ever again, till now. It is time for a new wave of music love from the vaults of pre post ultra modernism.
First up, Martyr, my favourite track from Andie Oppenheimer's New Mexico - I haven't been able to discover whether the theory that the lead singer of this band is this Andy Oppenheimer is correct... but the possibility that he is/was makes this album all the more ghostly and creepy and awesome. [Correction, I tried harder and yes, they are one and the same. Find out how to buy music from the band and about recent shows here]
Next, a song named Delta Sleep, from a band new to me, but old to the world, Trees. This song is from their album Sleep Convention. I can't say enough sqee about it.
"Delta Sleep again, stay there while I can, keep the daylight out and let the magic in."
And the last one for my pretties tonight... one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE SONGS, New Gold Dream (12 inch import version) by Simple Minds. This was the title track of the lovely album by the same name, New Gold Dream.
I'm going to try this whole music blog thing again, but please forgive me if I fail.

Songs to Make Your Roomates Insane
Do you have roomates who listen to really annoying pop music on repeat? Are the dishes sitting dirty in the sink? Did you you hear your roomate having sex, again last night? Do your roomates have a very limited capacity to appreciate music that isn't exactly radio friendly?
Well, if you want to annoy the hell out of them, download these songs and give them a whir on something near max volume.
Perhaps the most annoying song ever produced by The Cure -- Carnage Visors: The Soundtrack from their Faith special edition disk. I've never seen the film that this song is a soundtrack for. I would like to see the film, but without the film this song is just, um, more than 27 minutes long. I like the Cure, lots, but if I am paying attention a non orchestral song that long is just too long. It is okay, nothing special, nothing too awful. Just long.
Jandek's I Passed by the Building actually really annoys me. There was a point where I liked it, then, the weird quality of the vocals started to rub against my nerves like a cheese grater. Enjoy.
Steven Stapleton is awesome and this post would not be complete without adding in a track by Nurse With Wound. Now, I own two Nurse albums, and I would like to get my mitts on more of them, but my roomates are total music bigots, so they can't appreciate Mourning Smile from the brilliant album, Drunk with the Old Man of the Mountains.
I like music that strays from the acceptable. I think it is important to keep our ears open to new sounds. I really like pop music as well as what is referred to as "outsider" music. For me, a good song is a good song. Sometimes I'm taken in by slick production values, but I can appreciate brilliance from outside of the box.
This is my first post. I hope I can get myself posting regularly on Wednesday, Friday and Monday. All these links will be dead in a week, so check out these songs while you can.
Buy Carnage Visors: The Soundtrack
Buy Mourning Smile
(Actually, I think you should buy the whole album)
I'm pretty sure you can only buy Jandek's stuff for the most part, direct. Good luck getting hold of it.
