[515] the ice was nice, hello the invisible brethren
Two days in a row without the temperature ever once popping above -40 degrees is... wearing on me, but at least it's Friday, so I can finally get a decent night's sleep tonight. We successfully went out and picked a new set of living room furniture on Wednesday, and while that meant dropping another $1000, we ended up with even nicer stuff and the guy gave us a genuinely great deal on it and was very helpful throughout and I'm actually feeling cautiously optimistic about the whole thing again? Delivery is tomorrow afternoon (after all of the sleep), so hopefully it doesn't fall apart at the finish line again!
It's still night when I both get to work and leave it, but there are a few more hints of sunrise/sunset on the horizon with every day that passes. The end will come. Just gotta get there.
Theatre's still closed, though. Pretty sure now that I'm going to miss The Bone Temple entirely, and that that list of films is only going to grow. Bleak shit! I don't think I've ever hated living in this city more than I do this month!
At least I have plenty of wrestling to catch up on. I don't want that to be all I watch, but watching movies at home just upsets me right now, and I have inexplicably finished season 1 of Sailor Moon, so I may just hunker down in a little cave of obsessing over the graps for a while, until this bout of lowercase-d depression passes.
Wikipedia Sez: The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter is the third album by Scottish psychedelic folk group the Incredible String Band (ISB), and was released in March 1968 on Elektra Records (see 1968 in music). It saw the band continuing its development of the elements of psychedelic folk and enlarging on past themes, a process they had begun on their previous album, The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion. Instrumentally, it was the ISB's most complex and experimental album to date, featuring a wide array of exotic instruments. In addition, the album captured the band utilising multi-tracks and overdubbing.
Genre: Folk
Styles: British Folk, British Folk-Rock, Folk-Rock, Psychedelic/Garage
Release Date: March 30th, 1968
Prior Familiarity: None.
What I Did While Listening: Cleaned up a bit, moped about the couch situation (this was when it was still fresh).
Verdict: Christ, what a load of folksy nothing. The fact that this was a hit is a real testament to the amount of drugs people were doing back then, and of course this came out the same month as that ass United States of America record. Also one of the singers is a woman named Licorice who has been missing since 1987.
Favourite Song: A Very Cellular Song is 13 disjointed minutes long, but I enjoyed some of the random songs mushed awkwardly together to make it, so I guess that one?
Leshia's Rating: ⭐⭐, which feels harsh because I didn't ever actively dislike it, but yeah, there's just nothing here.
Okay, back to dealing with the absolute stupidest emails from car salesmen that you can possibly imagine for eight more hours, bye!
