tracey thorn - tinsel and lights: great cosy winter album, her voice is still phantastic. two problems: it is too short & the lasgt two songs are ruined by shitty drum programming.flowerpornoes - ich liebe menschen wie ihr. okayish, not tom liwa's best.

also got 4 awesome original 45 rpm new zealand pressed sex pistols 12 inches and i've been playing them at the store every day really loud before and after i open. they're sooooo loud. booming bass. the way i always wanted the songs on the album to sound. god save the queen/do you no wrong, pretty vacant/no fun, holidays in the sun/satellite. haven't played the my way one yet but i guess i should. was never a big fan of that one but it would probably sound cool anyway. the b-sides in general sound just as great. satellite is awesome.

I am listening to an incredible, incredible record from 1985 by a guy named Dariush Dolat-Shahi, it is modular synth + field recording + Iranian acoustic instruments. Oh god just listen to it I am obsessed

i bet i'm the only person in the world who is listening to oxide and neutrino right now.
which is probably the antithesis of the current love of slo-mo bass heavy sounds.
the uptempo jerky stop-start rhythms, and high-end focus sounds are v. different to the production love of 2012.

The 6ths - Wasps' Nests. I am increasingly starting to suspect that this is Stephin Merritt's best album. New Crystal Castles album. The last track is really mesmerizing. I don't like it as much as their previous album but I think I rate that album more highly than anyone else. Scott Walker - Tilt. I am having a difficult time getting into Scott Walker's latter day albums, but I am making a sincere effort, starting here.

very nice. amazing how the frogs calm you down. in the botanical garden in berlin-dahlem they have this small pond. in summer i just passed by, heard some noises and then had a closer look. there were dozens of frogs everywhere, the more time i took the more frogs i saw. some were copulating, most of them not moving at all. nature is so unbelievably rich.

once in florida i laid in bed hearing what i thought were random quasi-musical bleeps and blurts from somebody's electronic device outside, then realized it was frog ambiance from the local pond
