Six Organs of Admittance



With the Six Organs of Admittance catalog being extensively long, its no suprise that it took me as long as it did to discover the perfect release most suitable for my own personal tastes. Ben Chasny, the mastermind behind SOOA is no stranger to music. Having played in such acts including; Current 93, Comets on Fire, and Magik Markers, it seems inconsequential to try to understand Chasny's approach to song writing. With such a dynamic history of releases, Six Organs of Admittance has something for everyone.


Dark Noontide being my favorite record from SOOA, serves as the type of music worth listening to in long car rides when all other passengers are sleeping or when its dark noontide, no pun intended. With parallel intuiton in SOOA's song writing such as Chasny's predecessor Elliott Smith; its only natural being as they come from similar geographical regions. Northern California/Oregon. Dark Noontide, serving more of a campfire mystique, releases an atmosphere related to some sort of intangible world with flutes, recorders, tablas and various other instruments being the only audible noises you hear.


i leave the rest up to you.

Foundation Florida Weekend Fast Approaching





Ladies and gentlemen, Sofia Shinas

So about 2, maybe 3 months ago we got a call to play a few dates with hardcore greats; Paint it Black and Blacklisted in Florida. At this very moment, this has been the most anticipated week of my life. Tomas made it home last night, a few of us helped Overdose record their final song with a bang, Shipwreck show tommorow night, and then we leave for Florida on Friday.





During all this mess going on, I still can't seem to maintain any type of comfort. Comfort exists listening to Dead Can Dance and aimlessly walking around my neighborhood downtown watching beautiful couples pass by. Discovering new faces in stores and restaurants and happily giving them the title, 'wifey.'
