Three incredibly unique albums and then they disappeared, leaving behind some remixes and Towa Tei's solid solo career. So much more than "Groove is in the Heart"
Meeting Lady Kier would be an absolute dream 🙏
I mean, 6-year-old me had Taste. If you have not listened to this song by choice or in a long time, I recommend headphones, a joint, and space to jump around. Tell me that's not the best song you ever did hear!
a perfect NO-SKIP album. literally the blueprint and my childhood musical obsession thanks to my iconic father. This, Glass Candy's B/E/A/T/B/O/X and Miss Kittin and The Hacker's First Album were some of my early vinyl acquisitions as a young alt.Fav tracks - Ultrasex: 'Black Sunglasses' & 'Unspeakable' B/E/A/T/B/O/X: 'Rolling Down The Hills' First Album: 'Stripper' & '1982'
3 Feet High and Rising is such an incredible record. The sampling, the humor, the blending of different styles of music. Their music always lifts me up. Also, I may have a small crush on Kelvin Mercer in those wireframe glasses. 🫠
steel cut oats soaked in flax milk, a little maple syrup, and cold brew overnight. then top with plant based yogurt (coconut is good) a dusting of cocoa powder, and a couple chocolate chips (not too decadent now!)
went to the camera museum in south plainfield NJ which was in a decrepit mansion run by two lovely senile men. ended up getting a free hi8 camera and books out of it so dont forget these strange pockets of your municipality
best done with a debilitating migraine.
if you're the type to fear a goblin with bloody eyes and no legs yanking the shower curtain open while you get the shampoo out of your eyes--just turn on your phone's flashlight!
if using this method, obscure it partially for just a sliver of light to see the products you're using or bounce it off the floor. i also like to pair it with some gentle (if not melodramatic) music. my choice is often Water Forest by Ichiko Hashimoto.
observe the way the water droplets refract the light. feel the sensation of them rolling off your shoulders and the smell of your water pipes. pretend you are a beautiful tragic figure and fetishize your suffering.
it's fabulous!
