Acid Baby Jesus



Acid Baby Jesus is a four piece band hailing from Greece. Their tunes can easily be mistaken for some garage punk music of the 70's or something. I've been obsessing over their tunes for quiet some time now.




Their self titled LP is a mixture of garage punk and psychedelia. Some of the tracks show an obvious influence of the Black Lips on the band, like in the song "mesmerized". They even toured with Black Lips which I think is really cool. The track "Homo sapiens" sounds heavier than the rest of the tracks in the album and it's a total babe! "Oh Aurelia" and "I'm a baby" are very pop induced tracks. "I'm a baby" sounds like a 60's tune.  "Old fart" is another amazing track. It's a slow and more psychedelic track. "Tooth to toe" is a slow 60s sounding track with which I've fallen in love. The first track of the album "Tomboy" is an upbeat rock n roll track. So is "Fingerpainting" and "Tyrannosaurus Rex" ('Just like a dinosaur'...this is addictive.)  Damn! All the songs are great in this album. These guys are incredible. 


Listen to the whole album here :

And that's what happened. 


So, yesterday was the day I was supposed to graduate (I dint cos of a few fucked up assignments and also because I'm pretty good at being fucked up). I had totally forgotten about it until I saw the photos that my classmates (with whom I rarely and painfully socialize) posted on FB. It's not like I was dying to go for the graduation ceremony. I just want the certificate. You know, the certificate that says that I have managed to do something that normal people do and that I dont have to ever go back to that fucked up place again? Have to wait a whole fucking year to get that now. 
But anyway when people ask me how my graduation went i just scrunch up my face and go like...

Yes. I feel bad. I might cover it up by listening to  music that almost no one listens to and feel so cool about it. #hipsteralert . But deep inside I do feel bad. 


I love Faris Rotter and his various facial expressions.


A lot of people have helped me in making me not fall into a 'non-graduate' depression (I don't even know if it's grammatically correct). Like Kasabian's Tom Meighan who recently called the band One Direction "Five Little Dicks". I don't think anyone managed to describe the boy band this accurately. He's hilarious and adorable. I also found real pleasure in reading the comments written by One Direction fans. They are so wonderfully dumb. One Directioners reading this post.....try not to take it personally.


Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band 

Snake & Jet's Amazing Bullit Band makes pretty amazing music. They sound like some 80's indie-psychedelic rock band. I'm loving their tunes. Take a listen.

Shit Robot. 


I'm going through a serious electronic/ dance/ house music phase right now. No, I'm not talking about the so-called 'music' that Guetta makes. Guetta can go and fuck himself. I'm talking about serious cool shit. 


Serious cool shit like SHIT ROBOT.


Shit Robot is the pseudonym used by Irish electronic musician Marcus Lambkin. He also has a DJ partnership with LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy. After years of DJ-ing, in 2004 he finally started recording his own music with releases on DFA records from 2006. 


Lambkin's music is a combination of techno, electronica and house. It's one of those kind of tunes that keeps your head bobbing and makes you feel like you're high on something, if you know what I mean ehhh?? ;) 
(Never-mind me. I just have to be lame. It's a compulsion.) 


Seriously. This is good shit. The kind of good shit that seems to be attracting a lot of creepy dudes. No Im not talking about myself...mainly because I aint a 'dude'. Im talking about this dude who commented on one of Shit Robot's videos on youtube saying that he wants to make sweet, sexy, romantic love to that particular track and that he wants to take it to an alleyway and get it pregnant. Weird much?!  o.O Not that I have a problem with Creepy dudes. 

Anyway.

Lonely Planet. 
This is crazy shit.

Chasm 
I love this one. The creepy dude loves it too. ;)
Truimph.
Another good one.

A recent upload. Not very recent. But recent. 


P.S: If at all the creepy dude reads this post and finds it offensive, I want him to know that I think he's totally cool. And that maybe he'll get really famous because he got featured here and that he'll probably get a lot of thumbs ups for the comment. I've given that comment a 'thumbs-up' myself. :)

Apart from having a lot of compulsions, I also get easily fixated with people, words and so on.  It's a condition. I can't really help it. Im just going to stop typing now.

“I was never young. This idea of fun: cars, girls, saturday night, bottle of wine... to me, these things are morbid. I was always attracted to people with the same problems as me. It doesn't help when most of them are dead.” 

Happy Birthday Morrissey. You charming 53 year old! 


No need to scrunch your face and all. It's just a birthday wish. No one's making you listen to a Madonna record here. 


Some of you might be aware of my..uhh...quiet creepy obsession with Morrissey. If you don't then feel free to read these posts:




I admit. I'm not obsessed with him as much as I used to be.  But he's still simply incredible. He's wise, he's weird, whenever he danced he put on the most peculiar dance moves. I love his wit. Figuratively speaking, he's got the biggest mouth ever. And I adore it. And even if he never meant to, he (and his lyrics) played a very important role in my life. 



 So again, Happy Birthday Mozza! Or maybe 'Un'happy Birthday. Whichever one you prefer :)

Keep Calm and Listen to ME. 
    - A.K.A The (pretty cool) senseless post.


When I was young, I used to hope that every person I found annoying (which is almost everyone)...around me would just start being better people. But now I have finally come to the realization that it's me who needs to get better. But then again, when I meet some other people, I feel maybe I shouldn't really try to improve everything about myself because then there wouldn't be anyone to annoy these other people because the world only makes sense if someone hates everyone or if everyone hates someone because we do not want to be like Lennon and Yoko, do we now?

Yes, Maybe I am mad. Yes, I have lost my mind, body and soul. Everything is lost. Including my senses which you must have guessed by now.

But again, maybe we shouldn't come to conclusions. Or at least I shouldn't. Because after all, "Much Madness Is Divinest Sense", Isn't it? 

If Emily Dickinson ever happened to read this post, as a ghost or as a clone or somehow, she would either be impressed by my incredible senselessness or she will finally get used to the idea of death by killing me. 

Yes.

The Drugs Don't Work. Like EVER.
