Lower him down with a golden chain

I have had a worsening headache all day to the point where I actually wound up lying with my hat over my eyes in a lighted room, but I deeply appreciate being informed by [personal profile] ashlyme of the existence of Plinth's Music for Smalls Lighthouse (2013) and by [personal profile] spatch of Gavin Bryars' The Sinking of the Titanic (1990), the liner notes for the latter incidentally being how I learned that Marconi believed in residual haunting. If my head is going to feel like crush depth, I can at least have a suitable soundtrack.

This is completely unrelated to your actual post, but a. the icon and b. I feel like you would appreciate this: I fell asleep musing about the effect of whole "kaiju attacking humanity" thing on pop culture post-2013 in the world of Pacific Rim (why? good question!) and woke up this morning desperately wanting to hear the Mountain Goats' first post-kaiju album. I wouldn't trust "music to cope with the destruction of San Francisco by a giant sea monster" to any other band.
