Julia Shapiro. Some of the catchiest depression you've heard, at least since her last album...

melvins - gluey porch treatments

treatments alright. cleans the crap off your ears. very pleasant really.

from vinyl that probably hasn't been played in 20+ years, the sleeve has some water damage because it's been in my basement for too long.
but the album still plays fine

it's not their best album though, some songs on this one are quite annoying actually

^ Did it come with an eye mask?

hey Soup, have you ever heard about this album? Give it a try, some songs are amazing! I stumbled upon it by chance today, it's on the same label as Dark Developments, the album that Vic Chesnutt did with Elf Power

Sibylle Baier (born 25 February 1945) is a German folk singer and actress, whose musical abilities achieved belated recognition with the 2006 release of the album Colour Green, compiled from songs she had recorded in the early 1970s.
Her music is known for its plainness, emotional sincerity, and reference to mundane life in a folk style that's been compared to the works of Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake.[1]

Having played the guitar and piano as a young girl, she was moved to write her first song, "Remember The Day", after taking a road trip with a friend across the Alps to Genoa, via Strasbourg.[2]
She appeared in Wim Wenders's 1973 film Alice in the Cities, and her music is also featured in Jochen Richter's Umarmungen und andere Sachen (1975) and in Wenders' Palermo Shooting (2008). Baier opted not to pursue an acting or singing career, and eventually moved to the United States, where she concentrated on bringing up a family.
The songs that made up her album Colour Green were home reel-to-reel tape recordings Baier had made in Germany between 1970 and 1973.[3] Some 30 years later, her son Robby compiled a CD from these recordings to give to family members as presents. He also gave a copy to Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis, who in turn passed it along to the Orange Twin label. Orange Twin released the album in February 2006.
In April 2008, it was revealed through her official website that Baier was going into a recording studio and had written two new songs. The first of these, "Let Us Know", was released in September 2008 for the film Palermo Shooting.

I most certainly have, bought it years ago. A supreme record. In fact -and this is just between you and me and the interwebs- I made a copy for my shrink, and she loved it. :)

Listening to albums that were released today

Den svenska vreden by Fågelle

I was hoping it would be a bit more cohesive listening experience as her live shows are. But it's still pretty good

It's a bit boring to my ears, but that's mostly because I've been listening to doom metal for most of the week, so I'm no longer used to hearing music that lacks a fuzz pedal. Not sure if it's because of that but I liked the second half more than the first half.

and the rest of the week:
I downloaded a bunch of the streams that have been made from the Roadburn festival over the years. Psychic TV kicks major ass, bongripper and Bell Witch are fun. Amenra is awesome, Mike Scheidt solo a lot less than with Yob.
