this will destroy you... with laughter

in the instrumental vein, 'this will destroy you'... a band with a complicated and lengthy title. not quite as gothic as, and you will know us by the trail of dead, which remains one of the most unbelievable bands names ever, to my mind

explosions in the sky, friends of dean martinez, godspeed you black emperor, silver mt zion... not normal names.

in the playground of band names those are the ones with "strange parents"

this is from the album with the yellow bear on the cover



this band interest me. turned up in some threads about post rock... and in one comment, a kid who's dad has all the usual postrock records (explosions, tortoise...) but this was the only one that the kid had really got into. i liked that comment. wondered if the music i love will sound good or bad to my kid.

good music, or really music in general, was one of the things that me and my dad could talk about together. and good red wine.

a relationship with one's parent can be a hard-won thing.

i should mention at this stage in the blog, that i don't traffic in euphemism. i won't be making any fnar fnar jokes

i love a good laugh though

and this is one that makes me laugh



being able to hear the crowd laugh during this (even if the sound isn't that great) is part of the charm

there are at least two very distinct versions of home-made youtube music clip. one is just a still image of the artwork for the record, and a full playing of it, the other is a little home made bootleg live show...

i think it's awesome that this professional one, by a group of creatives called pleix, a track called 'birds,' is still embeddable though



enjoy
