8x12 :: come, let's paint the sky and explode in each other's arms

this entry is devoted entirely to the infinitely wonderful explosions in the sky. no, i'm not talking about fireworks of course------------>

they're songs are the most moving and understated masterpieces you'll ever have the pleasure of hearing. do your ears a favor and get your hands on their songs and listen to it full blast(preferably through a spanking good stereo set, it would be an insult to them otherwise).

there's this insanely strange throbbing that pulsates through you in every track, like the whole world is running through you.

and never mind that there are no words, its the feeling that matters. do you know what qualifies as a great song(on a personal level that is)? its that song where upon hearing it years later, it instantly makes makes you remember the things that you were doing, the things that were around you when you first heard it. whether it was in a record bar, wearing your favorite red shirt while trying to find who's wearing the scent that you love so much; or while trudging down the street [you always have to walk on everyday] in your flip-flops while worrying about having had too little sleep and the awfully big pimple on your neck. for me, thats what these guys' songs are.

though i wish my first times were as remotely grandiose as my examples, i'm ashamed to admit that all my tracks of them... i first heard in front of the computer, wearing a shirt [and picking my nose].

and for the internet-challenged, here's something to annoy you even more: its an all or nothing deal. get the entire zip, or none at all. spare me the horror and embarassment of having to put words where words are unwelcome.
