The Music

• Cactuses or Cacti by Ian Foster

  I randomly came across this recommended while listening to Paper Cielings on youtube.com and fell in love instantly. The whole album is honestly amazing, but there's something special about the title track. You can listen to the full thing on Spotify, as it's kinda hard to find elsewhere. Unfortunately it seems that this was Ian's last release but his debut ep "Dreams and Nightmares" is also pretty good and worth the 20-odd minutes of your time.



• IX by Rent Strike

  This is probably one of my favourite albums I've listened to in the past two years. The atmosphere and vocals blend together perfectly; the lyricism and storytelling are beautiful. The album is a subtle retelling of The Lord of the Rings, hitting all the major emotional and thematic beats without becoming overbearing. The songs meld together beautifully, carrying you effortlessly through the entire album, all culminating with the soul-wrenching final track.



• Please Be Nice by Camping In Alaska

  Yeah it's midwest emo trash but so am I.



• Carolina Moon by Connie Francis

  While I was introduced to the dulcet tones of Connie Francis through Jawbreaker (duh), this is probably my favourite song she's done. The pain in her voice is palpable and brings me to tears every time I listen to it. The violin moaning out its painful reverie in time with her voice. It's amazing.



• Ram Ranch

  18 naked cowboys in the showers at Ram Ranch!
  Big, hard, throbbing cocks wanting to be sucked!
  18 naked cowboys wanting to be fucked!
  Cowboys in the showers at Ram Ranch!
  On their knees wanting to suck cowboy cocks!
  Ram Ranch really rocks!
