With Cig Break
Today's show is inspired by a poem by Nichita Stanescu that I read this week, The Tenth Elegy. It starts like this:
I'm sick. Pained by a wound
Stomped over in a horse's stampede,
The invisible organ,
The one without a name,
The unseeing, The unhearing,
Unsmelling, untasting, untouching,
The one between eye and ear drum
Between finger and tongue--
The whole thing about a hurt that you can't place. You know something's off, but you don't know exactly what and not exactly where. And you know what? It's the constant AC. The smell of burnt plastic in the neighborhood. The beer can that exploded in your freezer. The friend from high school you think about after years of not talking and realize you were actually in love with them. That article you read about Britain's nuclear program. It's the organ between eye and eardrum.
So this morning on the radio you'll hear some slowcore, some shoegaz-y guitar, some of not-your-dad's-rock-n-roll <3.
