I was nor in Heaven or Las Vegas nor in a Kitchen of Distinction. I was Slowdive-ing with Catherine Wheel in a Twilight Sad listening to Soda Stereo.

I've been extremely busy with college. Too much sewing. Too much sketching and making flats and Photoshop and shitty shit. Bear with me. Or else. So I'm back with some of my listening pleasures that I've fallen in love once again after a few years in obscurity somewhere in the corners of my bedroom. I used to listen to most of this into sleep almost every night, though it always makes me feel like getting high and twirl around with some fucked up lover. Red lights and everything. At 3 in the morning.




Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas




Kitchens of Distinction - Love is Hell (one of my favorite albums. ever.)




Slowdive - Souvlaki




Catherine Wheel - Ferment (I can listen to "I Wanna Touch You" for days and never get tired.)





The Twilight Sad - Forget The Night Ahead (newest addition to such a catastrophic playlist.)





Soda Stereo - Signos (They have always been a synonym of "sex" in my opinion, nothing sounds dirtier than Soda Stereo.)

Enjoy! :)

Blood of the Old World

Blood of the Old World - V/A











I don't remember where and when I got this, and so far I'm unable to get any info regarding when this was compiled, but it's got some great goth, deathrock and post punk bands from all of Europe during the 80's. Standouts in my opinion are Siekiera(Poland, their album "Nowa Aleksandria" is a personal fave and will be around here very soon!), Musta Paraati(Finland), Xmal Deutschland(Germany), longtime fave Spain's Parálisis Permanente, Bjork's earlier band, K.U.K.L., and obviously, the almighty Nina Hagen. Tracklist is a s following:

Siekiera - Na Zewnatrz
Clair Obscur - Till Morning Light
Opera de Nuit - Boris Transylvania Camp
Belfegore - Nach in Sodom
KUKL - Dismembered
Laether Nun - Gimme gimme gimme
Leningrad Sanwich - Another Ghost
Oberkampf - Hospital
Asmodi Bizarr - Dreamvision Song
Xmal Deutschland - Mondilitch
Nina Hagen - Antiworld
Parálisis Permanente - Tengo Un Pasajero
Gabinete Caligari - Maquis
Marquee Moon - Edge of Time
Musta Paraati - Ajatus
Neva - Vision
Stimmen der Stille - Todeslied
Malaria - Your turn to Run
Norma Loy - Dance of Darkness


Enjoy!

Oh, feed me, cause I need you to...

Adorable - Fake






Adorable were a British alternative rock band active in the 1990s. They formed in Coventry in 1991, and consisted of band members Piotr Fijalkowski (vocals, guitar), Robert Dillam (guitar), Steven Wil Williams (bass), and Kevin Gritton (drums). Highly underrated, indeed.

Enjoy! :)

Portishead .// Chase the Tear

"Chase the Tear" is a collaboration by Bristol trip-hop legendary group Portishead for the celebration of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was issued in 1948, and compromised the countries involved in both World Wars to protect and respect the rights and equality of every citizen.Even though Portishead has long walked away from their early gritty sound, Beth Gibbon's voice makes everything worth listening, and the track can be downloaded here.

Enjoy! ;)
