MUSIC DUMP 1

Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. Jesus Christ. It's gorgeous.

Heart's a Mess by Gotye. It's six minutes long but not long enough.

Laura by me. There are many things I like about it but it's not good enough to share. I'd try to fix it but I'd wind up destroying it. You can only hear your own song so many times before you lose perspective entirely and it becomes impossible to tell good from bad.

When You Sleep by My Bloody Valentine. I used to think this was great. Now I find the lack of bass disconcerting.

Mama by Genesis. Phil Collins has the best voice ever. That's not hyperbole. As far as I know, there's not a better singer. His screams at the end of this... I can't explain. They're unreal. They cut through my defenses like nothing else.

The album Songs from a Room by Leonard Cohen. Every track is disquieting. It sounds like unhappiness feels.

Creep by Radiohead. I would be so pissed if I wrote a mediocre song that became a hit. I think Radiohead are still trying to escape the shadow of this.

I'm Only Sleeping by The Beatles. I only now realized how amazing this is. John Lennon's sped up voice is deliriously beautiful.

The album Tomboy by Panda Bear. Unbearable. A true endurance test.

Faggots by me. This is my new favorite song of mine. I don't know if anyone else will get it but I think it's perfect.

Abacab by Genesis. Badass. Love the residual prog.

Blame Game by Kanye West. Kanye is the only person who could improve upon an Aphex Twin song.

Dark Fantasy by Kanye West. It's tragic that some people don't like Kanye. If they could only know the pleasure they deny themselves...

Monster by Kanye West. The lyrics are so true. Kanye IS a monster.

In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. I must have heard this song fifty times but when the drums kick in it still makes me euphoric.

Paranoid Android by Radiohead. I know I drank too much coffee because I find the end of this to be slow and lethargic sounding.

The National Anthem by Radiohead. Reminds me of Tindersticks.
