If I have not been clear about it before, let me make it absolutely crystal clear:
I! LOVE! BANDCAMP! With that said, I have more thoughts on the matter.

Yesterday I saw a documentary called Les plages d'Agnès or The Beaches of Agnès for those of you not fluent in French. In it filmmaker Agnés Varda says that when filming others she would see landscapes so when filming herself she thought the appropriate landscape would be a beach. Given that she sees beaches as a symbolic part of her life would it not be appropriate for her (eventual) funeral to happen on a beach?
Some kind of Funeral Beach perhaps? ...or at least that's what the name of their newly released video implies.
Maybe they just really like the (ironically named) depressive black metal band Happy Days, who knows. While Verse Vica's debut album is peppered with the syncopated chug-fests “djent” is renowned for, and despite the fact that (the aptly-titled?) “Djinn” veers uncomfortably close to being an exemplification of the aforementioned genre; to label the band as such would be rather impetuous.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the 80s sitcom Golden Girls but it sounded like a good title for this blog post so I went with it.
Family is a complicated thing isn't it? You have your parents, siblings and such but then you have the half-siblings of the children your uncle's wife adopted after they got divorced but she lives next door to you now so you see them more often than your uncle. That's where things get complicated. This, also, has nothing to do with what I wanted to write about. Read on... About a week ago The Contortionist released their third full length album Language. Reviewing it has been on my to-do list since I first heard it but before we begin, as often before and (spoiler alert) often again, I will digress into a seemingly unrelated story...
Not a review or anything, just letting you know that Hail the Sun, a great post-hardcore/prog/math rock band, released a new album called Wake yesterday. I've written about them before and I've been pretty excited for this so here it is: If you like Fall of Troy, Dance Gavin Dance or A Lot Like Birds I'd check them out as well as their labelmates Sianvar and Stolas. Their back catalog is available on Bandcamp as well, Elephantitis is highly recommended.
Enjoy it, I'll possibly review it but if not I think you should all be capable of making up your own minds about it. I believe in you! Jón Þór I've gotten quite a few promos sent recently and I've been meaning to write about a few of them but real life got in the way so I've had little time to write. This may sound like it doesn't really matter but if you read on you will see why it does.
