Shred Room 56: Saqqara

I usually don't browse the internet, though, and don't fiddle with the volume.  I haven't been to any lowercase concerts, though, which I imagine do also require stillness to hear everything. Also, there's always someone coughing on the live records lol.

okay that sounds sensible enough, though it will still be hard for me achieving that silence here since I'm living in the city

I know Jambinai! Weirdly enough they're on Bella Union. I did not know they closed the Olympics tho. Their career just gets weirder.

I have been busy with work and playing in the pit of a local production of Tommy the Musical, so it's mainly been whatever's in the car (Grizzly Bear - Yellow House and David Sylvian - Blemish, mainly) or Tommy.  But before that I was exploring Animal Collective and Current 93 as well as revisiting Comus, Exuma, Spirogyra, and stuff. Also Palm's Rock Island which is still AOTY for me currently.

my most recent purchases have been Amen Dunes and Kamasi Washington. Frequent sounds over the past few months have included The Knife, Crime and the City Solution, Jandek, Intersystems, Quickspace, Savoy Motel, Syrinx, This Kind of Punishment, and the sound of a tree falling in the forest

Been meaning to get that Palm album :o

I've just about decided on an AOTY for 2017 tbh, I think it's gonna be Benjamin Clementine - I Tell a Fly, you might wanna check that one out the new Incapacitants offers some solid competition though, that album slams beyond that I've really just been listening to whatever, you can check the What Are You Listening To thread for that

I've been meaning to check out Benjamin Clementine. My 2017 favorites were Ryoko Akama - places and pages and Richard Dawson - Peasant. I listen to Peasant more often, but mostly out of convenience. places and pages is over two hours long.

Australia have Julian Asange, Canada have Elon Musk (sort of sharing with South Africa)

^Interesting observation.

Similarities: settled by white Europeans, butted out the natives but adapted some customs, a lot of the population lives on the border or near water (Canada: bunch of us near US border, decent amount near water on east and west coasts, Australia I'm just guessing you're all on the water)

All I can think of at the moment butt I think I can see it

I can't say I'm super busy but I'm still doing sh*t, I also clean a children's daycare 4 days a week for some extra money
no relationships though
