Since I mainly listen 9am-7pm weekdays (due to my work and personal schedules), I tend to consider 3pm Thursday as the boundary between a more melodic/poppy period (Weds through 3pm Thursday) and a non-poppy demanding-but-rewarding-listening period (from Fabio on through Friday afternoon). -- But I guess it's silly to force structure out of different pieces of freedom.

I think Neubauten and the Bad Seeds have converse fashion sensibilities. As young men, Neubauten were quite slovenly and stumblebum whereas the Bad Seeds were quite well groomed. As middle aged men Neubauten is all slick and dapper whereas the Bad Seeds are quite hairy and stumblebum looking.

When I was young,
I used to go with my grandmother
to fill up water bottles from a local spring.
I would help her carry the green glass gallon jugs
(emptied CR Cellars Fortissimo Wine bottles).
The spring was a tap that needed a special "key" to open.
The water was so cold.
The bottles made a deep sounding "klank"
during the car ride home.

  5:23pm
Andres:

Further to that Jon Muller track - I was ready to commit to that chant for the rest of the show of it went that way! I was reminded of that Mad Men episode where Harry reluctantly attends a Hare Krishna meeting with Paul and by the end the whole room is a sweaty mess after some ecstatic chanting. Loved it!

glad to offer, Kenzo -- my pleasure. love your work. the remove marign on .songs is to get rid of the unwated space above it's scrollbar currently; and the second is to lose the ugly raised border around the comments form (i think that was just an oversight/ default attribute setting maybe)
