Please heat this eventually
So i have recently been reading through "Naked lunch" -burroughs, and i have been doing it very sporadically and slowly. Burroughs writes so much nonsensical shit. the sort that you are scratching your head over for a minute or two. but what makes him amazing is when you go on to read the next paragraph that previous random statement suddenly makes perfect sense. more so in a poetic form, oozing metaphors. and eventually while your reading all of sudden you realize that he isnt making random statements anymore, that it is an actual story within that chapter. and these short stories generally just dissapate and you find yourself back in the metaphors.
now this is not the topic, but it is important. see if you can follow.
The topic of this post is the new Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez & Damo Suzuki album. this mo-fuckin' album is beyond gooood. I was recently scouring the internet to try and track down any thing that Omar & Cedric (at the drive in, defacto, Mars Volta) had done, on their own or otherwise. and i stumbled upon this album just a couple of weeks after its realease. the album itself is apparently only available on vinyl, but thankfully it was on the Itunes store for some reason. anyway, i have had Omar's more popular solo album-a manual dexterity: soundtrack volume 1- and i got a kick out of it. it is some pretty wild shit. however it was missing alot of the talent i saw him have in the Mars Volta. but when Mars volta is together it has allot of that nonsenseical shit that will go on for quite a while but suddenly go on to some theme that apears to have been created through that chaos. I fucking love them for this, i think that they are brilliant musicians. and that whole nonsenseical deal isnt bad at all, its what they do and i love them for it.
this is the second part.
Damo Suzuki is formerly of the psychodelic rock group CAN (1970's), and is infamous for his lyrics (commonly improvised-and in multiple languages. some of them fictional). his time with CAN didnt last more than 7 or so years. but when he returned to the music world he formed something called "the Damo Suzuki network" where he travels all over the fuckin place and bassically sets up a session with different bands spanning a variety of musical styles. i cant remember any of them other than Broken Social Scene. so now he and Omar's solo project have gotten together (Omars solo project consists of a couple people that he has played with before, and they make up the rest of the musicians on this album.) and produced this two track album-"please heat this eventually" the run time is like a half hour and it is awesome.
alright so remember what i said about Burroughs, yeah well this is why. this album has those random crazy elements that Omar does on his own, but just the presence of Damo automattically brings some like pseudo prog-rock structure to it. so like burrows i have never heard this random music with these particular instruments make so much fucking sense. it has a groove, it goes into themes. and all the while there is so much chaos (not as much in comparison to Omar's other album). but still, this album amazes me. theres a flute and a sax, and some mean fuckin licks on the guitar. the groove is in there keepin the shit tight. and all the while Damo is hollaring jibberish with this synchipated precussion vocals, that seems to go against each individual instrument but some how ties in with the over all groove. just take my word for it man, its fuckin titts.
so if youve got like 2 dollars or whatever it costs to download the tracks, do it. and also Omar has another collabaration due out within a couple of months with his project and John Frusciante, and i a cant wait to see how thats gunna turn out.
