Pink

Today's Music of the Day is Pink by some group called Boris. I don't really know anything about Boris, save for the ten minutes or so I've been listening to their stuff.

Boris is pretty heavy. Really loud, semi-cacophonous music that makes me sometimes want to brood and sometimes want to jump on everything. I don't know that I'd call it 'heavy metal' but it's not shy by any means. Maybe if Hendrix drank a lot more and couldn't play the guitar nearly as well this is what would have happened. I guess I would consider peers of these guys to be maybe Blur or possibly almost Mogwai. No, maybe not; if Mogwai played everything three times as fast and disregarded their great sense of build they might be Boris. And yet, I kind of like Boris for what they are.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I got this CD from the library; I just picked it up because I had no prior opinion about the group or the album. Sometimes that actually works! Not always though.

In other news:
I got some other CDs, too; I'll review them as I listen to them. They are:
Johnny Cash, American Recordings
John Coltrane, Blue Train
David Bowie, Best of Bowie (yeah, i got a greatest hits album, i feel bad about it myself)
Editors, The Back Room

And that's it! Have a decent enough weekend and stay warmish.
