Birchville Cat Motel: Cranes Are Sleeping (Ecstatic Peace)
Purchased at Jerry's Records
So here we are.
Eight years ago when Donald Trump was first elected president, I made a comment to Facebook: "I guess America likes a bully." I've had more than my share of bullies. I know one when I see one. I'm certain every bully I knew in my school days probably voted for Trump.
It's still true, but this time I'd add, "I guess we have no collective memory." Are we better off then we were four years ago? You're goddamned right we are. But, there was inflation!
I'll leave it at that.
I don't imagine I'll be watching broadcast news any time soon, and I'll put podcasts on in the car and not the radio.
There's time for darkness, there's time for light. I'm splitting the difference this time.
I didn't know the name Birchville Cat Motel when I bought this. I probably tracked this on the Jerry's turntable and knew it was for me. I can't say what's the source of sounds much of the time, only that it's droney and ambient while being noisy and even annoying at times. Perfect!
Track #2, "An Emperor's Second Acension" is largely feedback. Guitar? Synth? Mic? Don't know. It's layered but I can't distinguish each layer.
I'm trying to ball up the energy to keep writing, but I think i just want to go to sleep this afternoon.
Maybe more later.
