A couple of great picks there. Personally, my favourite Mr Bungle album is "Disco Volante", but California is probably the one I listen to most, I think you have to be in the right frame of mind to sit through the other two. Ever tried the Cardiacs or the Residents?

However, in the coolness stakes, I think it's patently clear that unless you are Tom Waits, you are not as cool as Tom Waits. There are only two types of people in this world: people who love Tom Waits and people who are wrong.

Here's a live version of Lucky Day which is more plaintive and imo superior to his original.

Yeah, that was a great album. As I recall the one that followed was really self indulgent and melancholic. Regardless, I gave my music collection to my young nephew around that time, and then my brain completely fried (memory can be a *** up thing). I'm surprised to see they're still at it honestly. A couple of others from that time.

Self indulgent and melancholic, definitely. But still quite a good album, Black Love. I have a soft spot for their final album before the break, 1965. It might be because it was my first Afghan Whigs album, though. Their comeback album from 2014 was pretty decent, and they were quite a force on the following tour. Greg Dulli is still a monster.

Speaking of monsters, I just returned from an Iggy Pop show, and damn! he still means business. He's freakin' 69, but still sprinting all over the stage and the entire concert hall. Brilliant. Here's Dum Dum Boys.

I've been in an Acadian mood these last few days. Listening to Michel Conte's song Evangeline, performed by Annie Blanchard, an Acadian female vocalist from Maisonnette, New Brunswick. The song is an adaptation of the famous epic poem by Henry Longfellow (1847) about a fictitious couple, split by the Acadian Deportation/"Grand Dérangement" of 1755-1763. One of the most dramatic, shocking and revolting episode in Canadian history.

Les étoiles étaient dans le ciel > The stars were in the sky
Toi dans les bras de Gabriel > You in Gabriel's arms
Il faisait beau, c’était dimanche > it was nice weather, it was Sunday
Les cloches allaient bientôt sonner > The bells were soon to ring
Et tu allais te marier > and you were going to get married
Dans ta première robe blanche > in your first white dress
L’automne était bien commencé > Autumn had started well
Les troupeaux étaient tous rentrés > the herds had all come back
Et parties toutes les sarcelles > and gone, all the teals
Et le soir au son du violon > and in the evening, with the sound of the violin
Les filles et surtout les garçons > girls and mostly boys
T’auraient dit que tu étais belle > would have told you you were beautiful

Évangéline, Évangéline

Mais les Anglais sont arrivés > But the English had come
Dans l’église ils ont enfermé > in the church, they had locked
Tous les hommes de ton village > all the men of your village
Et les femmes ont dû passer > and the women had to spend
Avec les enfants qui pleuraient > with the children who cried
Toute la nuit sur le rivage > the whole night on the coast
Au matin ils ont embarqué > In the morning they embarked
Gabriel sur un grand voilier > Gabriel on a ship
Sans un adieu, sans un sourire > without a farewell, without a smile
Et toute seule sur le quai > and alone on the quay
Tu as essayé de prier > you tried to pray
Mais tu n’avais plus rien à dire > But you had nothing left to say

Évangéline, Évangéline

Alors pendant plus de vingt ans > So for more than twenty years
Tu as recherché ton amant > You were looking for your lover
À travers toute l’Amérique > throughout America
Dans les plaines et les vallons > In the plains and the hills
Chaque vent murmurait son nom > every wind was whispering his name
Comme la plus jolie musique > like the nicest music
Même si ton coeur était mort > even if your heart was dead
Ton amour grandissait plus fort > your love grew fonder
Dans le souvenir et l’absence > in the memory and absence
Il était toutes tes pensées > he was all your thoughts
Et chaque jour il fleurissait > and every day it flourished
Dans le grand jardin du silence > In the big garden of silence

Évangéline, Évangéline

Tu vécus dans le seul désir > I lived on the only desire
De soulager et de guérir > to relieve and heal
Ceux qui souffraient plus que toi-même > those who suffered more than yourself
Tu appris qu’au bout des chagrins > You've learnt that at the end of grieves
On trouve toujours un chemin > you always find a way
Qui mène à celui qui nous aime > that leads to the one we love
Ainsi un dimanche matin > Hence on a Sunday morning
Tu entendis dans le lointain > You heard far way
Les carillons de ton village > The carillons of your village
Et soudain alors tu compris > And you suddenly understood
Que tes épreuves étaient finies > that your ordeal was over
Ainsi que le très long voyage > along with the very long journey

Évangéline, Évangéline

Devant toi était étendu > In front of you laid
Sur un grabat un inconnu > on a pallet, an unknown one
Un vieillard mourant de faiblesse > an oldie dying of weakness
Dans la lumière du matin > in the morning light
Son visage sembla soudain > His face suddenly seemed
Prendre les traits de sa jeunesse > to take the traits of his youth
Gabriel mourut dans tes bras > Gabriel died in your arms
Sur sa bouche tu déposas > on his mouth you left
Un baiser long comme ta vie > a kiss as long as life is
Il faut avoir beaucoup aimé > You have to love a lot
Pour pouvoir encore trouver > in order to find again
La force de dire merci > the strength to say thanks

Évangéline, Évangéline

Il existe encore aujourd’hui > There are still today
Des gens qui vivent dans ton pays > people living in your country
Et qui de ton nom se souviennent > and who remember your name
Car l’océan parle de toi > because the ocean talks about you
Les vents du sud portent ta voix > Southern winds carry your voice
De la forêt jusqu’à la plaine > from the forest to the plain
Ton nom c’est plus que l’Acadie > your name is more than Acadia
Plus que l’espoir d’une patrie > more than the hope of a homeland
Ton nom dépasse les frontières > your name goes beyond borders
Ton nom c’est le nom de tous ceux > your name is the name of all those
Qui malgré qu’ils soient malheureux > who despite being unfortunate
Croient en l’amour et qui espèrent > believe in love and who hope

Évangéline, Évangéline

Memories of an old trip I did 15 years ago. Acadians are the most welcoming and sociable people I've ever seen and they know their history too. Vive l'Acadie! :)

dug the Nils Frahm, The Primitives - meh, and then I kind of enjoyed Tony Conrad with Faust so I ventured further and started listening to "Slapping Pythagoras" but I only made it 13 mins. in before I had to retreat. ha
