//// What to do with all this rock?
Posted on | February 4, 2010 | No Comments
Finnish style blogs had a great meme going on on January about noughties music. Personally I took it too seriously and never got my post finished… …whatever, I’m posting music here anyway now and then, bits and chips of that unfinished post will end up here eventually.
Somebody might have noticed already that I’m total music genre whore. I grew up listening relatively varied stuff from the beginning, post-punk stuff, progressive/psychedelic rock, electro, some metal — mixed with pop, lived and enjoyed the grunge era… …nah, why to explain, I’m just not able to pick one team.
Perhaps the greatest genre discovery for me in noughties was desert / stoner rock… …I guess that it was PJ Harvey in the Desert Sessions who led me to the tracks. So I came aware of the genre bit late, but there was lots of happening within it on the noughties.
I deeply love Brant Bjork’s sound and his distinguishable take on the genre, the funk elements, the restrained energy.
And Earthlings?, their raw sound. Actually released 1998 — but this is noughties music for me
.
From the psychedelic end of stoner rock… …Colour Haze. The longest buildup ever ends so cathartic that it never fails to move me…
Can’t really tag this with “videos” tag… …they have none.
