Paik - Tinsel and FoilThis is a commemorative post in tribute to the best song ever produced. Whenever I'm asked to describe my taste in music, I point to this one track. It's perhaps the most complete song in terms of capturing the essence of everything for which my ears have been primed.
This song's power is immeasurable. It will simply dwarf you and leave you feeling completely insignificant. Even moreso if you're on something. I've introduced the track to high friends who were rendered into listless puddles of goo that couldn't stop muttering, "Wow...wow..."
I don't conceivably see any song holding a candle to Tinsel and Foil for years to come. Which leaves me both happy and sad at the same time.
Rating: 10.0
Genre: post-rock, drone, shoegaze, space rock
RIYL: Dreamend
From: Detroit, MI
I'm so in love with this song I actually spliced together a music video...
Today marks the approximate 2-year anniversary of when I discoverd this song, which also happens to coincide with my birthday. I'm turning a svelt 26.
Enjoy this serious, homo-erotic picture while you still can.
I added a radio button so you can stream pretty much every song I've featured in the history of my blog. That's over 500 songs. Check out the main music page for further details. This offically makes this best mp3 blog on the internet.
And in further news...
Some of you may already know, but I'm making it official: I recently began managing Moving Mountains, and I'm moving to New York in April to concentrate on the gig full-time.
I've started a blog for the purpose of documenting my adventures out there. I also started a 2nd blog to capture all my incoherent rambling, just in case you mistakenly thought I was pretty normal.
If you happen to catch my boys on tour, make sure to stop and say hi to me at the merch table. :)
