I Have Five Things in My Knapsack
1.
Kerri Sonnenberg
Brandon Shimoda
I finally got a chance to read Dusie 5, which has been up & at 'em for about a week now. So much rockin' poetry. I've been in heaven these past two weeks, a heaven that involves a lot of looking at great poems in new issues of journals.
2.
The latest issue of Pleiades (who need to update their webpage) has a killer opening poem that you should check out: “Landscape with Suicides” by John Gallaher.
3.
The new Caetano Veloso record, Ce, is scrumptious. For more on Veloso, visit the houseboat-sitter. Also, Labyrinth Books has very affordable copies of his lovely memoir of the tropicalia movement.
4.
The Exploding Star Orchestra record is a very nice record but will neither bedevil nor bedazzle you. And yet it is good for the ears & other such items.
5.
The Candian black metal band Wold's new album Screech Owl is a disturbing & somewhat disgusting delight.

I want to check out that Wold record, Aquarius called their first one William Basinski Black Metal, awesome!
A lot of EN influence in addition to the usual black metal/noise/dream pop influences. It is pretty damn cool: throbbing, gutteral, nasty. It sounds like the music is rotting off the bone.
Mathias, have you checked out Velvet Cacoon yet? How about Hypothermia?
Both of those are new to me.
Get thyself to a record store post-haste, young man!
