1. Finally, some music that speaks of the real problems in life!
2. Flight of the Conchords are an actual band that existed before the series did! I never knew!
3. Have you actually watched the series? It’s just the most brilliantly funny show I’ve watched this side of Spaced.
4. Nice cover art.
5. It just came back to me: I recall driving back from… Nafplio, wasn’t it, with Daphne. We had En Lefko on (right?) and suddenly this started playing. We had watched the episode mere days before. Quite a moment of joy, there. Actually, in retrospect, I should have figured out then and there that they were an actual band…

EARWORM GARDEN // KINGS — ΕΔΩ ΠΟΥ Μ’ ΑΦΗΣΕΣ
Έπαιζε συνέχεια στο γραφείο στον αγαπημένο μεσολογγίτικο ραδιοφωνικό σταθμό του κ. Αρχιλοχία του 3ου Λόχου στο 2/39.
EARWORM GARDEN // MELECHESH — THE EPIGENESIS
This song kicks all kinds of ass. Alex first told me about it many years ago, when she first started hanging out with prog-metalheads in Kerkyra.
EARWORM GARDEN // WOLFSHEIM — KEIN ZURÜCK
I tried to write something in German here; wasn’t sure if it was correct so I just ditched it. Schade.
Fact of the matter is I’m going through a kind of mini-“this is the first day of the rest of my life” feeling, as if the loose ends that had been hanging low were unexpectedly and simultaneously tied up—or rather, cut off.
Not “as if”, actually. One nagging little piece of emotional baggage in particular had been bothering me for absolutely yeeears (or did it just feel long?), and I never expected internal resolution to come that easy, so suddenly, that it would smack me up the head so hard and definitively and completely in its obviousness when it did so just a couple of days ago, so… yeah. I’m proud and happy about it. Take that, Skalomann (like Skallamann only for skalomata).
Kein Weg Zurück now then, but in a good way, perfect for what’s coming up next, i.e. having to wake up super early, follow questionable orders, enjoy rations of even more questionable quality and so on and so forth.
EARWORM GARDEN // ORPHANED LAND — ALL IS ONE
ENJOY THE NEW YEAR LIKE LIVING UNDERWATER
Happy new year! I wish this is your year’s soundtrack. May you swim with the seals all the way.
Found this awesome little song from Ran Prieur who had this to say:
Doctopus – Wobbegong is a garage rock masterpiece, and an example of the elusive raw and intense happy song that I mentioned a few weeks ago. This is their only great song.
EARWORM GARDEN // YES — CLOSE TO THE EDGE
You can listen to it whole, which I’d strongly suggest. Or you can skip straight to 10:00, where the part of the song which is playing its earwormy tricks on me begins.
Somehow, listening to Yes makes me feel as if everything’s going to be okay.
EARWORM GARDEN // HIGHANDMIGHTYCOLOR — PRIDE
Where the heru did this come from?!
EARWORM GARDEN // TANGERINE DREAM — FORCE MAJEURE
Two separate earworms this time from two different tracks. Good thing they’re on the same album.
One from the title track (around 13:40), the other from Cloudburst Flight, the whole of it.
Is that right? I’d never posted Tangerine Dream on here before?
FEZ OST VINYL
I have no intention of buying it. It still looks beautiful though (as well as sounds beautiful of course)
