no, i don't really need a committee with commercial reasons telling me what's good. i rather have some random dude on this board agree with me that 'semi-obscure ambient album number 17' is the nuts
well done nate. all 3 of their studio records are just perfect, and i'm glad you put due focus on her voice and intonation. even has their sound kept getting more and more fragmented up to tender buttons (my fave), so was her voice holding everything together and navigating those broken machine drums and lost transmission radio sounds gracefully. i didn't know they were so well received in the uk at the time, and it makes me glad they at least had some moments on the spotlight
been thinking a lot about keenan lately, what with the way she died and our current state of affairs. makes the current epidemic seem much more real and heavier
this is pretty good; the expanding flower planet is a nice hidden gem in the weirdo pop world that i still go back to now and then, so looking forward to this one
Meanwhile in the real world:
- Joe Biden has won nine of the 14 states that voted to pick a Democratic White House candidate on Super Tuesday, a remarkable rebound for his campaign
- The US military has conducted an air strike against Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, just hours after President Donald Trump said he had a "very good talk" with a leader of the group
- European leaders travel to the border with Turkey as show of solidarity with Greece. Von der Leyen praises Athens as "the shield" of Europe and announces financial support
- Turkey has accused the European Union of "betrayal, hypocrisy and selfishness" for failing to uphold an agreement to stem the flow of Syrian refugees and migrants into Europe
- The worldwide risk level due to Covid-19 is very high, according to the World Health Organization, who admits that its mortality rate is higher than that of the seasonal flu. There are more than 90 thousands confirmed cases and about 3 thousand people have died - a mortality rate of around 3.4%
- Russian President Vladimir Putin wants marriage to be defined as the union of a man and woman in a revised constitution, ruling out gay marriage
- At least 23 people have died in Brazil and more than 30 are missing after torrential rain and landslides hit coastal areas in the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro
