Lower him down with a golden chain

[sovay]

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 ashlyme of the existence of Plinth's Music for Smalls Lighthouse (2013) and by 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.

I'm sorry, but I've now got your subject line's song in my head, as heard on our local public radio station's folk program as a young teenager. "On ev-e-ry inch we'll carve his name!"

Music for Smalls Lighthouse has great associated art, too!

Somehow when I saw the title, I thought "Snails" rather than "Smalls," and I have to say I really like the idea of a snails' lighthouse.

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.

I'm not surprised about Marconi. It's why I prefer analogue radio; you don't know what you could find turning the dial between stations.

Let me know what you make of Plinth. *Hugs, many of them*

As someone who's been fighting chronic headaches of the "worsening all day" kind for months now, you have my deep sympathies. I'm glad you found a good soundtrack.
