pluss..... after getting out of class i noticed that the sky looked especially pretty tonight.

excuse the crappy cell phone quality, my cell phone has crappy cell phone quality. this crappy cell phone quality of a picture does absolutely no justice for the sky's actuality.

AUDIO: 

screw political shit, i want to share some music that mirrors the beauty of the sky I witnessed earlier tonight. I'm thinking Blonde Redhead. Or My Bloody Valentine. I'm reminded of the cover from their album Loveless.

Blonde Redhead has to be one of my top five favorite bands. I always get spiritually lost in their music and lyrics; and I especially find myself entranced by Kazu's vocals. "23" is particularly the song that gives me a feeling of an outer-body experience. Not kidding. The beginning instrumental followed by the fast-paced drumming which is accompanied by Kazu's beautiful croons is enough to get me high. Her vocals just ride so smoothly with the instruments and it creates this very transcendental effect. I always close my eyes when listening to this song. It's like entering a dream. "Impure hair" is equally as amazing. You can hear the despair in Kazu's voice and the overall haunting desperation in the song; but it is done so softly and delicately that the song just seeps into your soul.

Blonde Redhead- 23 

Blonde Redhead- Impure Hair

My Bloody Valentine was around the time when I was but a wee toddler. Luckily, I heard about them during high school and have since then become a fan. "To Here Knows When" turns me into a puddle that just slowly swirls and swirls and swirls and swirls, 'til I eventually just evaporate into nothingness. "Sometimes" was featured in Lost In Translation and this is one of my favorite "in the car songs"; whether I'm driving, in the passenger or back seat looking out the window, on the bus, or on the subway. The vocals are by Kevin Shields, and although the lyrics can be hardly made out since the vocals are so faint, it only adds to the quiet melancholiness and nostalgic aesthetic of the song. It's really quite depressingly romantic. I actually played this song to someone about a year ago and I remember she told me in all seriousness,  "It's just noise." No.. its definitely not "just noise." 

My Bloody Valentine- To Here Knows When

My Bloody Valentine- Somtimes

I've always had a penchant for bands with female vocalists. To me, a woman's voice can flow so effortlessly and beautifully that rarely any male vocalist can equally achieve. Female vocalists can hit notes that don't even sound human, but they can still maintain its dainty quality. They can entice you with their soft moans that gradually envelop your entire being, leaving you trapped and lost in their own voice and words. In other words, female vocalists ftw! And I haven't even began to mention my favorite female lead singer in any band... YUKI CHIKUDATE. More on her and her band later...

Sayonara.
