I was originally going to post another excerpt from my red-eye playlist (I'm sleeping much better, btw) but this morning a certain something showed up in my youtube feed. That 'something' happened to be a new track from one of my favorite bands of the last decade: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
This made me super happy until I remembered that I had tickets to see them this summer. I still have the tickets... but the concert has been moved ahead to October 2021. I'm sure I'll have a great time if anyone is still alive by then.
Actually, I had tickets to a lot of shows this year - all of them cancelled or postponed. Stevie Nicks, Robert Plant, Tom Yorke, Billie Eilish... okay this is getting depressing.
So! I was talking about the Gizz. Absolutely fantastic Psychedelic/Prog/Garage band from Australia. Absolutely worth a listen even from you old fogies. Here's an incredible fan-made film that mashes together songs and official videos from a bunch of their albums (with some original art for songs that have no official videos and also to cover transitions between tracks). Great stuff!
Next time you're having a crappy day, just load this up in your car, crank it up to 11 and go for a nice long drive. Enjoy.

This one's for you, @jmervyn... although I think that you would actually agree to the lyrics, at least partly. I think it was Lincoln who said that the question in not whether god is on our side, but whether we are on god's side.
Dredd, you're into Billie Eilish? That surprises me yet it doesn't? /shrug IDK ,I'm still surprised. I can't stand her. XD Like, the music part is alright but I hate her voice. I can't get behind it, I'm so fucking bored with it, lol.
I have discovered Type O Negative recently and I CAN. NOT. STOP. LISTENING. I know I'm super way late to the party but omg.... Peter Steele.... <3 <3 <3

Into? I'm not sure; it's a little too early to say. Ask me again when she has a couple more albums under her belt. When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go is a wonderfully composed album though and probably would have been my "album of the year" had Lingua Ignota not dropped a nuke on my head a few months later.
Huh, I totally thought I added an RIP, but I guess not? I had "RIP Green Man" typed in my draft along with another sentence but I guess I ended up deleting the entire thing instead of the second sentence...
