I love the outro in Hum's Green to Me.

I remember seeing "Intro to Physics" in Reader ads back in the day.

Certain Distant Suns was a pretty big deal to me and my friends as we all knew (or knew of) Justin Mroz given they were from Fox Lake.

It always shocks me when I find hum fans. It is always so unlikely.

Disc One features "Strumming for Bösendorfer Piano", performed by Palestine in 1974. It starts out gently, with a little innocuous tinkling, but over the course of 52 minutes locks into a flurry of reiterated notes and chords that churn out different kinds of overtones. The sounds of those overtones are ethereal, ineffable. But overtones are concrete and real, and Palestine starts to play in reaction to them-- creating still more overtones, until the effect turns into a kind of natural acoustic feedback loop. There's nothing dainty or implicit about it. Palestine is a notably physical presence whose way of playing-- of coaxing by way of banging-- invokes the piano's status as a fundamentally percussive instrument. But there's something innately ghostly about the sounds that surface, like bleary trumpets in a dream or whirring test-tones heard from a distance.

Title track has the simplest bass line, but it is so bad-ass.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

i've got life synced up in such a way that i'm rocking out venetian snares while the house next door gets demolished. it's definitely synchronicity working in favor of my amusement.

Im pretty hammered right now.
