Two Poems I Read Recently and Liked Quite a Lot

"Greta Gerwig cried onscreen and it seemed real"
by Stephen Tully Dierks

"Bone Woman"
by Carrie Lorig

I'm blogging these poems here because I've noticed people on Tumblr don't really "give an eff" when I post poems or about poetry.

Destroyer's Kaputt Video

I have heard three albums that have been/will be released in 2011. There's G-Side's amazing The One...Cohesive, James Blake's hype-fullfilling self titled debut, and Destroyer's Kaputt. It's an ambient-space-jazz-funk dream of an album, my favorite of the three. It takes a whole bunch of sounds previously thought to be too cheesy for "proper" art rock (sax solos, flutes, jazz-funk fusion) and integrates them flawlessly into Destroyer's palette.
Here's the video for the title track.

Christmas EP

I recorded this EP in GarageBand. The songs sound a lot different from what I do as gleams, so I gave the project a different name. The cover art is above.
