a goodwill just opened by my house wooot

when i saw this record i nearly pooped my pants i was so stoked, check out that fucking cover art


i got it specifically for this song, i love it
(only dailymotion had an actual clip, power through the ad its worth it)




also an original ink spots album, hell yeah


got it for this song, from fallout 3 <3



awe and my mum used to read this to me when i was a kid. it seemed much bigger then.

phantom of the paradise

i followed a string from some image on some random set somewhere years ago and triangulated it with bakshi and faust wiki's early last week and came up with phantom of the paradise, 1974.

its about a man that signs a contract to finish a cantata he's writing for a record mogul to use in the opening of his disneylandesque rock-palace called The Paradise, only to have his music stolen, teeth replaced, voice taken and face horribly burned; then to be imprisoned in a sound booth, attached to tubes and wires, to finish writing the cantata for his misled love, and muse, to sing.

opera, son.


i really like this song.
