Dixon just showed me his new song, Heart of Darkness. Jesus Christ. I wish I was hooked onto a machine that read my brainwaves so there was some kind of measurement and recording of what my brain was going through when I first heard it. I don't know how to decipher what I was thinking. I just clearly remember thinking "jesus fucking christ". And the powerful parts with the distorted bass fucked me up. He has such a soft relaxing voice, I really want to hear him produce a punk song, even though I know he never will. He likes that neo-psychedelia stuff. To be honest, I didn't even know how to categorize it, I had to ask him what genre he considers himself.
I also just listened to my secret favorite band on youtube. God, I love them. Their music videos are so aesthetically appealing, with every single screencap being a perfect representation of the whole, a singular piece of many, it's own masterpiece. The singer looks kind of like Simon from across the street when I lived in St. Louis. And the drummer looks kind of like my old friend Seth, but better and mixed with Rami Malek. They have two mini vinyls I really want with two songs apiece on each. My four favorite songs. They grouped them well. But the cord to my record player is still missing, and I'm still broke. One day.
