Well....last night I ventured to a show in Providence at the AS220 featuring Hairy Dairy, Afrirampo, and Lightning Bolt. The show was decent, nothing spectacular, but still enjoyable nonetheless. Hairy Dairy started things off, playing only four songs. I would comment more about Hairy Dairy but I wasn't really listening to them, as I was sitting outside smoking a cigarette and talking to two...
I love ambient (dare I say it, post-rock) music. One of the best bands out there in this genre is **Sigur Ros**, from Iceland. I'm not going to describe their music with any other words but tragic beauty. They are awesome, and one great thing about them is you can hear how their music has evolved from the first release, _Von_, to their latest, _Takk..._ I also love how the song, _"Myrkur"_ ...

When listening to the self-titled, I can play it straight through, without ski...
Well...for those of you who enjoy the defunct band Orchid. Cheer Up! It wasn't until a few days ago until I really listened to Ampere, Will's post-Orchid band, and I have to say, "thumb's up". I really recommend a listen to Ampere if you enjoyed the more "melodic" or "experimental" Orchid songs, such as Tigers, Loft Party, We Love Prison, or my personal favorite, Impersonating Martin Rev.
