Music for exploded minds.
Brooke and I are going to get our marriage license today!
I'll admit that I check Pitchfork every morning. Occasionally, a review will remind me of a band I'm actually interested in! That happened today with their notice for Grindstone, by Norway's Shining.
There's nothing like a blast of totally fucked prog to put a spring in your step. For fans of '70s King Crimson, Bohren und Der Club of Gore and actual Krautrock.
Here are a couple of cuts:
Shining — "Stalemate Longan Runner"
The album is no doubt in stock at Pure Pop. If you're all digital, you can also find it at iTunes.
Congrats Casey & Brooke!!!

Awesome tunes Casey. Thanks for posting...and the Panda Bear tracks also.
Hey record label people: I will buy the album now thanks to Casey posting it. Don't you dare give him any shit.

A marriage license. Have you and Brooke had testing done to make sure you're not secretly brother and sister? And are you 100% positive neither of you was previously married during a period of prolonged amnesia? Is the real Brooke trapped in a cave of ice while a phony zombie-Brooke has taken her place? You might want to look into these things before you get hitched because as a Passions viewer I know they are much more common than one might think.

Brooke and I actually are brother and sister. And we're cool with that. Both of us have been instructed by our Reptilian Overlords that, as the last of the Merovingian Prophet-Kings, we must never allow our blood to intermingle with humanity's lesser stratum.

Congradulations, Casey!

Well then confabulations from the Hodgdon-Miller-Victor-Bea household! I'm torn between giving you a Clapper, or a gift certificate to that crazy white trash store in the University Mall so you can pick out a nice fiber optic Jesus or POW throw pillows or something.

Ooooh....go with the POW throw pillows. They're classy & manage to make you feel both comfortable AND uncomfortable at the same time.
