It’s no secret, that us here at the Schmarm love Ryan Adams and would basically give up each of our first borns to spend 5 minutes in his presence…but until then we’re lucky enough to have been able to catch him last Wednesday night at his sold out performance with backing band, The Cardinals at UCLA’s Royce Hall.
Maybe one day someone will explain Mesculin Sword in full. The basic idea of it though is insanity and sanity in actual form. It’s in a building (a hotel or resort) and every year switches location. Upon entering Mesculin Sword, you will be greeted by a beautiful receptionist and the room will be pure white. From there you can visit different rooms, such as the Misconception Room, Confusion Room, and the Cocaine Room. You can stay there if you like, but you wont know you’re there because time and you don’t exist there. That’s the super short summary of it, and like I said, one of these days we’ll get around to fully explaining it.
These videos (including one of my all-time favorites, Aphex Twin’s “Windowlicker”) are all great and represent a little bit of Mesculin Sword…because after all, sleep does look like it.
Animal Collective - Peacebone:
I could do an intro on Casxio…how they are quickly getting noticed in the LA area…how they bring a dance party everywhere they go…how Lucas has more soul than JT…how I want to sleep with all the males in the band…or how this band gets better everytime I see them…but Lucas covered it all and then some in my little question and answer part I usually do for the “Get To Know” section. I decided to keep his answers worded exactly as was sent to me…well pretty much. Some protection is needed when someone says Edison was a President because they’re wasted naked and lonely in an apartment attempting to respond to an interview at 4:00am.
