ALL THE BITTER-SWEET DARK HONEY IN MY HEART

It's been that kinda week...

ALL THE BITTER-SWEET DARK HONEY IN MY HEART
All the bitter-sweet dark honey in my heart is oozing out of my pores, coating me, coating the floor, spreading out all through the neighbourhood. I walk slow. I walk sticky. I talk slow. I talk sticky. It is like a fog, but a fog you can swipe at, hide in. This bitter-sweet honey forces one into a slow, measured throb of feeling. It is time to walk around slowly and get used to it.

WILLIE WEST - LOST SOUL LP (Timmion, 2014)



This may be the most authentic sounding throwback soul LP i've ever heard. These Finnish guys playing behind him just get the looseness of the feel and style of playing and the production just right to nail that imperfect "magic" that we love about those old indepenent label soul records. And almost every song is that great swampy downbeat love-lorn soul shit I can't get enough of. Got this one on repeat. Find out more about Willie and the record here...

SLOW GRIND FEVER VOL 4 LPs, VOLUME 3+4 CDs




The Slow Grind Fever vol 4 LPs are in! Compiled by Dj Diddy Wah from London. He picked some real good ones. Also got the volume 3+4 CDs in too, and about 5 copies left of Vol 3 LP. $20 each.

Folks in Melbourne can come get 'em on the door at Slow Grind Fever #23 upstairs at The Tote this Saturday night.

or email me on

To get off this list, reply saying: A cafĂ© in Finland built a 16-foot-tall hamburger to advertise local food and then fed it to 23 dogs. A twenty-two-year-old woman in Atlanta was charged with aggravated assault after she beat her friend unconscious for accidentally sitting on her hamburger. "It cannot," said her friend, "be about a hamburger."

Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore and the leader of its People’s Action Party, which has ruled the city-state since it gained self-governance from Britain in 1959, died at the age of 91. President Barack Obama called Lee a “true giant of history,” U.N. secretary general Ban Ki-Moon called him a “legendary figure,” and British prime minister David Cameron said he was Margaret Thatcher’s favorite prime minister. “We have to lock up people, without trial, whether they are communists, whether they are language chauvinists, whether they are religious extremists,” Lee, who was criticized for his intolerance of opposition, harsh punishment of minor infractions, and stringent restrictions on freedom of speech, once said.

I FELT LIKE CRYING WITH JOY

Some of this weeks writings is real talk, and some is just la la. this one was for real though...

http://writingeverymorning.blogspot.com.au/

I FELT LIKE CRYING WITH JOY

I felt like crying with joy. All the women I love, well not all of them, but a whole lot of them were all in a magical place being strong and radiant and amazing and giving me a hug and around every corner and in every room there were more of them. I felt as if I might float up to the ceiling. It was like I was in the magical theatre from Steppenwolf, but it was really happening here in my mortal, fleshy, human life. Oh what joy it is to be alive.

MICHAEL CLANCY - GOD IS DOING A NU THANG

I am a little late on the uptake with this, but god this performance is so good. I mean obviously it's hilarious in many ways, but it truly thrills me. The kid is just going for it so hard, He's nervous and he's running of breath and he's just going hard through it all. And the way he's doing all the vocal parts of the various guy's high and low. It's just too much. And that wonky music in the background. i can't stop listening to it. The song he's doing is Nu Thang by DC Talk, a christian rap group, but their version just pales in comparison to young Michael's...

To get off this list, reply saying: Russian president Vladimir Putin, who did not appear publicly for ten days, was rumored variously to have died, to have had a stroke, to have been overthrown in a coup, to have undergone a plastic surgery operation, or to have fathered a love-child in Switzerland with a 31-year-old retired rhythmic gymnast turned parliamentarian. “His handshake is so strong,” said his press secretary, who denied the reports, “he breaks hands with it.”

TERPSICHOREAN DELIGHTS OF THE MOST LANGUID KIND

I was quite happy with this weeks improvised writings! There were floating heads and non-consensual superhero s&m interventions and squashed badgers and romantic declarations and this ode to Slow Grind Fever...

the rest at

http://writingeverymorning.blogspot.com.au/

TERPSICHOREAN DELIGHTS OF THE MOST LANGUID KIND

Terpsichorean delights of the most languid kind swished all around us, the vibrations in the air prodding our bodies gently in a sensual rocking motion. Through the smoke I could see the occasional arm, shoulder, elbow, buttock or ankle gyrating listlessly. Oh what a feeling it was. I supped heartily from my flask and continued letting the bass voiced dead man tell me what to do and how to do it, and how if there was something I needed, he would be my handy man.

Roberto Cacciapaglia ‎– Sonanze (PDU, 1975)


Thanks to Evelyn Morris for putting me onto this trippy 70s classical prog synth space out. It is pretty as hell and I am digging it hard!
