Ponies Forever

Do you remember this?

Melanie

I love Boards of Canada.

There is a gene named Sonic hedgehog. I'm serious.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_hedgehog

"Some clinicians and scientists criticize giving genes frivolous or quirky names, calling it inappropriate that patients with "a serious illness or disability are told that they or their child have a mutation in a gene such as Sonic hedgehog.""

Others:

* Zbtb7, a gene which was originally named Pokémon after the video game Pokémon
* Pikachurin, a retinal protein named after Pikachu

I will always love the sound of the 90's...

The Fall

The first thing I'd like to do is recommend downloading all of William Basinski's Disintegration Loops. Once again, I've never heard anything like it. It's totally different. Please download it.



Part I

Part IV

The second thing I'd like to do is show you this awesome collection of rings I found while browsing Etsy.

Dear Liver,

Uhh.. I'm really sorry. I'll make it up to you one day.

In need

Finding for music that really is different is difficult. I'm really lucky to have stumbled upon Preslav Literary School via ill-formed. Tags on last.fm include: field recordings, cut up, found sound, drone, etc.



Try it

What am I waiting for?

I don't believe a word of it.

Yeah, whatever.

Please just tell me already. I don't know why you've been holding off for the past few months. So unnecessary. Either I got in, or I didn't.

Back from Atlanta. Met some nice people, drank some great smoothies, bought some good records. I saw Atlas Sound, and he was really good, even if some people had temper tantrums. I determined that Black Lips are not worth seeing. There was some embarrassment and awkwardness, and a lot of freedom, social ease, and happiness. Overall, it was a positive experience, minus the plum mint sushi.

I just need to share this image:



(from Where Is My Future )

I have a new obsession. I don't have any way to post media, however, besides through these links to two albums:



Beauty Pill - The Unsustainable Lifestyle (2004)

and



Smart Went Crazy - Con Art (1997)

Both are atypical Dischord indie rock bands, sharing the same vocalists. Their sounds are similar. I highly recommend both downloads.

While looking through ffffound today, I found a picture that reminded me a lot of something I had seen a long time ago, and after searching for a while, I remembered that it reminded me of the artwork by Chris Pottinger on the Tasty Soil Records website. Have a look:





They even sell cute little pins in the label's online shop.

I remember finding this label through an awesome Slither video:



So cool.
