MetaChat - September 2009

USSA? USSR! USA? USR! If you like early Butthole Surfers, the original reunited lineup is touring this autumn. I saw them tonight and they played nothing past 1993, and mostly 1980's stuff. It was great. That is all.

Rainy day music. It's a gray, drizzly day, so here are a few songs to go along with the mellow mood:

Smoke "Awake" A late, great Atlanta band.
Magnetic Fields "Busby Berkley Dreams" One of my favorite MF songs. I love how deluded the character is.
Loscil "Lucy Dub" Ambient-ish. Like floating in fog.
jj "From Africa To Malaga" Sunny, dreamy pop from Sweden.
