I think the former is truly one of the greatest things he's ever done. Also, really like Strjon and been meaning to check out Hibernaculum. Other new music that has haunted me lately: SOTL's And Their Refinement of the Decline and Air Formation's Daylight Storms (if you're into shoegaze).<BR/><BR/>You have a wonderful, wonderful blog, by the way.Mubarak Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628917065083772357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579754230116285540.post-46608110953039497572007-05-13T19:45:00.000-07:002007-05-13T19:45:00.000-07:00that johann is paraphrasing dorothy parker:the sun...that johann is paraphrasing dorothy parker:<BR/><BR/>the sun's gone dim, and<BR/>the moon's turned black;<BR/>for i loved him, and<BR/>he didn't love back<BR/><BR/>good music too.shahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13899415657297920724noreply@blogger.com
