What I’ve Been Listening To

I’ve been listening to a lot of Joy Division and Unwound lately. There’s something about those two bands that keep me coming for more even though there really isn’t any more. Well I just picked up Les Bain Douches which is a great quality recording of a Joy Division concert in Paris. Though short, you can hear the emotions bursting at the seams. Like an indelible piece of art, I am content to enjoy it at arm’s length. But Unwound makes me want to jump up and down and get dirty. Lately it’s been Repetition that’s been filling my ears. Although it would make a great soundtrack for a David Lynch film, the sounds are less atmospheric and more energetic. It’s definitely not punk, but aren’t we a little too old for punk now?
