Burial - Burial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swQdVtt0saA

Recent proper discovery for me, knew the name but stumbled upon it again while reading up some stuff about The Caretaker and that made me give it a go. Somewhere between ambient and darkstep in style. The album Untrue is better known, but I prefer this one.

What's the connection with The Caretaker? Love both Burial albums. Haven't listened to either in years.

Mark Fisher wrote about both The Caretaker and Burial in the "Hauntology" chapter of his book Ghosts of my Life. I heard about this book reading about The Caretaker a couple of weeks ago while listening again to Everywhere At The End Of Time (which was my introduction to the project a few years back).

I don't really resonate with Fisher, but a lot of it is at least interesting. Whole book here: https://ia802901.us.archive.org/9/items/MarkFisherGhostsOfMyLifeWritingsOnDepreBookZZ.org/%5BMark_Fisher%5D_Ghosts_of_My_Life_Writings_on_Depre%28BookZZ.org%29.pdf

Listening to the 'alternative' tracklist now, mighty stuff.

Savage band. Saw them in london a week or so back, with the Manics. Unreal live.

Great album. Obviously a non-album track, but "Stay Together" is one of my favourite songs of all time. Fuck me pink it's good.

This New Wave weirdness popped up on my YouTube and will probably be stuck in my head for the day

An album of NIN covers done Dawsons Creek style. I'm hoping to hear her version of Big Man With A Gun on an ad for medical insurance some time in the near future.

Jesus fucking christ. Seconds away from turning into Lou Ferrigno here.

This shit is more common than you think. The missus was watching Love Island a few weeks ago (yeah, I know. She's the mother of my children, what can I do?!) anyone who has had the misfortune to see this shite, usual scenario, boy and girl have intense discussion over absolutely nothing...in the background was this awful, breathy, earnest cover of Heart Shaped Box done in that horrible affected delivery, you know the one where you can't quite make out the consonants...or vowels for that matter

Aye it's awful and I think I've heard that Heart Shaped Box one in the background of something too.

Still... even I wouldn't have seen Big Man With A Gun getting the treatment
