The Vaselines - Monsterpussy
A ridiculous song, just because. Your weekend assignment: Use “I’m going to skin it and wear it as a hat” in casual conversation.

"DO NOT be so bloody vulnerable. To hell with God damned “L’Amour.” It always causes far more trouble than it is worth. Don’t run after it. Don’t court it. Keep it waiting off stage until you’re good and ready for it and even then treat it with the suspicious disdain that it deserves."
Noel Coward, advising Marlene Dietrich to get over Yul Brynner already, dammit.

Sometimes you need a photo of Chewbacca riding a giant squirrel and fighting Nazis to brighten your day. I wonder if the artist knew that “squirrel” was supposedly one of the major shibboleths used to pick out Nazis in WWII. Chewbacca, not so much, I’d think.

Felix Kubin & Coolhaven - There is a Garden
Via a friend in England. A German electronic experimentalist embracing his fondness for Kurt Weill. It’s a lark, for sure, but the opening line is an attention-grabber, and the whole things plenty of retro-lounge charm.

This about sums up my day.
Another robot-related doodle, because why not.
Your world frightens and confuses me.
Song of the Day: The Cape May - Old and Early Numbers
This is maybe a bit too wintry of a song for such a gorgeous day, but I’m working on an interview with Cape May frontman Clinton St John for FFWD, and I keep getting struck by how incredible his music is. This one’s from The Cape May’s last, Steve Albini-produced album, but rest assured, his new stuff’s just as good. You’re going to want to go to his CD release.

Mclusky - Alan Is A Cowboy Killer
I’d say it was a mclusky kind of day, but that would imply that some days aren’t, and that would be dishonest.

Song of the Day: Clark - Mercy Sines
Dark ambiance that falls somewhere between pretty and menacing. And then that beat kicks in and nothing else matters.
