chinese tiger's are fucked up...

'bout time!

every year fucked up releases a song to mark the year on the chinese calendar - after hearing the 15 minute song it isn't hard to tell it's for the year of the tiger. the song is big and b-e-a-u-tiful. although it's not actually the year of the tiger anymore, i read somewhere that a portion of the proceeds will go to save the tiger fund, so not only will you enjoy listening to it, you'll feel good about buying it too.

there's also a second song on the "album", "onno" which is a bit longer, 22 mins. you're gonna wanna sink you're teeth into that one too (puns are great). but for now........ turn your volume up and press play.

spin's album of the year!

is....

fucked up, david comes to life! no suprise there. it's without doubt my favorite album of the year, and along with deer tick's divine providence, one album i couldn't seem to shut up about. can you blame me?

anyway, get your reading on and pick up spin's best of issue - there's a great article on fucked up which talks about the rumors of a possible definite hiatus, but it kinda leaves you thinking they're not done yet.. naw.

my sun is shining, how about yours?

the wind has changed and now it's brought all the sweetest smells he'd forgot,
not the faintest stench from the old days as it all finally drifts away.
damn those skeptics, harbingers of doom; negative epidemic, followers of Hume.
he understands all her needs and for that she loves him eternally
syncretism is so natural and their experiencing something so actual.

fucked up's album david comes to life - get your sunday reading and listening in.
