np: "Bible Silver Corner" - Rodan
this is a criminally overlooked album in my opinion. Slint's Spiderland seems to get tons of rave reviews, but this album flows along the same vein. members of Rodan went on to form bands like June of '44, Rachel's, and a whole slew of others that i can't seem to remember at this point. but this entire album is fucking brilliant - from slowly building instrumental pieces to scream-filled raging tracks, there's absolutely nothing bad on this one.
so i'm trying to work my finances right now, it's so not looking good. trying to move into a new apartment in April and a wedding i'm in in May are looking to completely drain me. so it looks like i will be all about the cheap living for the next several months. great. just when there's a lot of good album releases to come out too. guess i'll just have to start keeping a list so that i can start picking some of them up when i actually have some money. god, i wish soulseek wasn't still down..... ugh.
