Hi, I'm Mani, and this is my (mostly) music blog. You can expect to find tunes, GIF sets of cartoons, and occasional flailings over comics, movies, and videogames.
You can also find me over on DeviantART, or on my sketchblog, Drawn by Mani.

“Never Stop,” by The Bad Plus (2010)
Well, I certainly don’t plan to.

"Glory"
“Glory (Fuel/Friends Chapel Session),” by Bryan John Appleby (2011)
So! This blog I follow by the name of I AM FUEL, YOU ARE FRIENDS hosts these live recordings held in chapels. Bands come, record some songs infused with the echo and incense of a church, and Ms. Browne, the blog owner, posts them for all to hear. The sessions are all quite lovely to listen to, and are archived here, should you like to check them out.
This rendition in particular, by Bryan John Appleby, has stuck with me. I’m not sure why. It’s probably at least partly because of the odd affinity I have for songs that are stripped down to their bare essentials, shorn of artifice or polish. It might be because “Glory” sounds like a hybrid between a hymn and a love song.
Or, maybe it’s stuck with me because it’s just a good song.
So I Just Saw “Chernobyl Diaries”
That movie somehow managed to take Chernobyl/Pripyat -one of the creepiest places on Earth- and make it boring and cliché. I’d be impressed if I wasn’t seething.

"Combed Over Chrome"
“Combed Over Chrome,” by Raleigh Moncreif (2009)
Some reggae-flavored chiptune (or is it chiptune-flavored reggae? Hard to tell.) Light, but anchored by static-y drums and a dark pulse of base.

“Goodnight Demonslayer,” by Voltaire (2004)
In which the guy who sang about eating brains and the joys of being evil sings the best damn goodnight song ever.
