I watched Such Hawks Such Hounds, finally, for the first time last night. It was mainly just like a refresher course... not much I didn't "know" short of the details I wouldn't care to remember to begin with...

but I did laugh a bit in memory of the first time I heard Sleep.

I wrote about it.

Here you go!

last night, i think i found the most extreme genre-specific song, ever.

the first lyric for this song came in at 8 minutes and 20 seconds. can you guess how long the song is?

63 and a half minutes.

it's by a band called "sleep" and the song is called "dopesmoker" on an album named just that.

guess the genre.

let's see if i can get through the whole thing without getting distracted.

An hour later:

the song finally ended. that was... just, i don't know if i can ever do that again.

i need to find something upbeat.

or not, since it's time for work already. fuck.

I did it again.

This was almost a year later:

i loaded up all of my newly downloaded music by itself and have been trying to listen to that, get into it, let it sink in instead of avoiding it in favor of what's been traveled. i keep returning to a band called sleep, particularly an album/songs called jerusalem. thus far i've gotten through part 5 and 6 okay... i really like part 6. it's kind of repetitive, but no more so than ambient dance/trance music. it's not the heaviest stuff, but it's definitely quite heavy, low, very bassy. the vocals are stupid, but i guess they work. i bet this would be awesome live with that constant rolling hum. i think it's strange how this band snuck up on me.

Yep...
