Muted? In this case, I dare say they SILENCED you.

Kapila's Theme, by OM from the album Variations on a Theme

If you have 12 minutes to spare, you could do considerably worse than 'Kapila's Theme.' If you have an hour, you could listen to that song five times in a row.
In truth, I recommend doing so.

Sufjan Stevens - Predatory Wasp of the Palisades - Brisbane QPAC 04/03/16 YouTube video by llapetitemarine

I think about this live performance of 'Predatory Wasp' a lot. This is the ideal live version, for me.

Pinback’s ‘Loro’ does it for me, every time.

Dire.

Second-person burn. I like it.

TLJ/Rian Johnson was pilloried for bringing some reflexive criticism/ideas into the picture. I don't even agree with all the notions he brought to it, but it's inarguable that he expanded what the franchise could be about, and he did it with several wholly memorable visuals.

Black Wooden Ceiling Opening 10", by Mount Eerie 17 track album

'Black Wooden Ceiling Opening' is easily a top-5 Mount Eerie release, but so many seem to have forgotten about it (or worse, never heard it!). He really tested/realized a perfect new sound here that reached its apex on the following year's 'Wind's Poem'.

Great poster design.

You won. The game has ended.

INDEED. Exquisite filmmaking.

The Hermit YouTube video by Richard Dawson - Topic

I still don't think the world has sufficiently encountered and acknowledged the wonder of Richard Dawson's 'The Hermit.'

Happy Lebowski Day, indeed. Here’s an article I wrote last year about this film and sleep/dreams in the Coen Bros.‘ works, also examining Jeff Bridges as a sleep guide.

We had this movie on every weekend in my college house.

Ween - Kim Smoltz YouTube video by destr100

Most potent Ween B-side earworm, and that's saying something.

Another great Modern Folk release. Among many other things that could be highlighted, this is one for those who like that OLD Beachwood Sparks-type sound that just doesn't seem to be around anymore. Highly recommended.

Nevers, by The Fiery Furnaces from the album Bitter Tea

Fiery Furnaces released 'Bitter Tea' nearly 20 years ago. Let's all celebrate by listening to 'Nevers,' which features some of the coolest backmasked vocals ever and an addictive melody. For two decades, I've hyperfixated on the section that begins at 3:42.

Dire.

So You'll Aim Toward The Sky, by Grandaddy / Jason Lytle from the album House Show

'House Show' version of a Sophtware Slump classic.

It really was the AOTY last year. Now, they’re playing live, selling merch, and doing the band thing. I haven‘t seen potential like this since early Ovid’s Withering, and I’m hoping these guys are around much longer.

Imagine including ‘striking’ as an adjective in a story about a literal war.

The New Kind, by Damien Jurado track by Damien Jurado

I missed this release in January. Jurado's (earliest?) demos. Significant historical document, for real.
