This could have been called "Darkness of July," but that would have been borrowing more than just a few (too many) tracks from oracne. This was built around the Vienna Teng and Gordon Lightfoot as thematic frames as well as, as it turned out, almost literal ones (there's not much that can successfully follow Sigur Rós at their most apocalyptic). I'm pleased with myself for getting in not only J-rock but K-pop and Finn-alt. Local artist this time is José Saavedra.

Ooh! Thanks.

I think of this as a chance to give back, instead of just give forward.

Or we could give around. Or between.

Why am I reminded of things that a rabbit can do with a hollow log?

Careful with that rubberband. You could put an eye OUCH!

Thanks! I've been meaning to get some Sigur Ros based on another LJ recommendation. :)

[larryhammer]

Heh. Don't know that this is the best possible introduction to Sigur Ros, but if you like this one, they do have more like it.

I have downloaded! Thank you very much. I have everything Vienna Teng ever did... which makes mixes built around her work especially good.
