THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 12hMy commute to work is roughly one TELESCOPIC EYES GLANCE THE FUTURE SICK long 130
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 05/10/2026ABSOLUTE GREEN LANTERN isn’t at the top of my favorites in the line, but hey, #18 name checks Philip K. Dick, so maybe it’s climbing. 030
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Ronnie Spector:She Talks To Rainbows (1999) New to me.The title track of this covers EP sounds pretty contemporary but the rest of the album is mostly a 60s throwback—a pretty good one which makes sense since she fronted the Ronettes.Her throaty,raspy vocals may not be technically perfect but…(1/2) 100
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Amen Dunes: Cowboy Worship EP (2015) I’ve seen complaints that this is just more of what Damon McMahon had given us on LOVE the previous year (and yes much of this is alt. versions of songs we’ve already heard); but what are EP’s for if not halfway points in evolution between releases? If one…(1/2) 110
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The Lies: Underdogs and Infidels (1999) New to me. The debut album from gothy rockers The Lies is suitably dark and brooding, building their sound from the bottom up with an eerie organ as their foundation. It feels bleak without being distressing, solemn without becoming depressing. There’s… (1/2) 110
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I don’t relisten to this one a ton because of the running time, but every time I do listen, I’m just like “Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.” 120
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 03/10/2026No matter what you think of his music, this is one cool MFer 010
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Dirty Beaches: Night City (2010) This album may open w/ a slow,dread-filled instrumental that calls to mind the wet streets of a dark city, lit only by neon signs & cracked headlights, but a fair deal of what follows sidesteps his usual doomed droning in favor of something a little closer to …(1/2) 110
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Comet Gain: Tigertown Pictures (1999) New to me.Comet Gain dissolved after their 2nd album & frontman David Christian had to replace everyone before this release,their 1st for KRS. I can’t speak for their previous albums but here they seem to be searching for their sound by rotating thru pop,…(1/2) 100
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Angus & Julia Stone: A Book Like This (2007) The debut full-length from the Stone siblings is blissful, mellow folk.They trade vocals over melancholy strings, Julia wispy & forlorn, Angus laid back & conversational, delivering lyrics of love, heartbreak & disillusionment. Despite the sad…(1/2) 200
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The Handsome Family:Through the Trees (1998) The 1st, but not last, great Handsome Family album came after Brett Sparks’ stay in a mental hospital.This colored the songs, which cover dark topics such as drugs, suicide, mental illness & institutionalization.By using traditional American sounds…(1/2) 120
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Mike “Sport” Murphy: Willoughby (1999) New to me. Something of an outlier in the KRS catalogue, mellow blends of country, folk & lounge tunes by the oddball Murphy, who’s determined to highlight everything but rock on this eclectic album.The melodies are nice, storytelling is good & the songs…(1/2) 100
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Artwork from the pages of LA BOHEME ART QUARTERLY #1, Winter 1927 040
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Nothing like a kick in the taint to get your point across 0163
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Is it heresy to remake such a beloved movie? Nah, I’m not that precious. Besides, just think of it as another sequel and it goes down easier. Glossier than the original but still bleak and brutal in the best ways. Weird to say but there’s some beautiful shots here, and Ermey is great. I love this. 120
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Sonic Jesus: Sonic Jesus EP (2012) Quite good greasy, grungy droning rock from Italy’s Sonic Jesus that never disappoints, at least musically, over the course of 4 tracks. The only real qualm is that the gothy vocals are so mangled and distorted that you can scarcely make any of them out.…(1/2) 110
THAWK! @thawk79.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Danielle Howle: Catalog (1999) New to me. South Carolinian singer-songwriter Danielle Howle’s first album for Kill Rock Stars is twelve tracks of simple acoustic guitar and raw, intimate vocals. There’s nothing flashy about the performances here, just straightforward…(1/2) 110
