Ah, "literate pop" - I hate the label, but I love the sounds. Kiran Leonard (England) was in his late teens when he released "Bowler Hat Soup". He has cited Richard Dawson and Kate Bush as inspirations. I can hear both of those influences in this release. Apparently, these LPs were "found" in an attic in Bishop's Stortford.

I can also hear Sufjan Stevens, Danielson and Black Country, New Road. I would add a slew of other singer-songwriters, but "Bowler Hat Soup" tends to the more intense, and at times experimental, side of pop.

This was released by Hand of Glory. Leonard's later work has been released by Moshi Moshi.

Albini even recorded (cool) Christian indie bands like Danielson, he didn't give a fugg

Volume 1 … Siege of Budapest Winter 1944-1945 p.89 The Attack Escalates Toward the middle of January the attack on Budapest escalated. The rolling sound of artillery fire increased as it approached. Clearly, the strategy was to occupy Pest first, and let Buda bleed to its end… The Splendid Bridges over the Danube are Falling… The Final Phase — de profundis clamo, from the depth I cry out… Resistance until death… Ruins, Desolation, Peril… The Ghastly remains of the Battle… Burying the Dead — woe to the vanquished…

I do not know the final outcome of this incident, but at some point the shots from the cellar ceased.  Everything grew silent.  It looked as though the Germans had opted for resistance until death…

RUINS, DESOLATION, PERIL

The Ghastly remains of the Battle

The sight of the abandoned battlefield was devastating.  The dead soldiers, young men destroyed in the blossom of life were strewn miserably around.  Homes were in ruins.  The earth was scarred with bomb craters and shells.  There were starving and dead horses and wrecked vehicles scattered here and there.  A T50 Soviet tank was turned on its side in a tank trap hole.  Where to start with the clean up?  Who is in charge in such situation?   Obviously we could not wait but had to dispose of the remains of the dead as quickly as possible. 

During the last afternoon of the fighting a Hungarian soldier was brought to our house bleeding from a wound in his thigh… his wound started to swell and smell… and he grew weaker…

Burrying the Dead   victims,  woe to the vanquished -  

Many dead were left behind on the battle field.  Germans, typically in defensive retracted postures.  Russians, many of them, doped, dashing to victory and death, lying face down on the open ground.  Civilians shot in the back.  A human brain smashed and smeared on a wall, its headless body stretched out on the floor…   Our task was macabre…  we were hungry and exhausted…  

( — Arriving in Brussels from Budapest late 1940s looking for work as an engineer concrete specialist The story of our 1938 home on 9 Minerva Street, Budapest.

Belgium ~1948. Memoirs - Volume 2: “ In Search of Existence”. p.18

“As my hopes of getting an engineering job with firms in the business faded, I turned instinctively to the Universities. I still felt the need to learn and complement my wartime professional education. I knocked on the door of old Professor Baes, the well-respected expert in structural engineering at the Free University of Brussels. I enrolled in Baes courses, and he gave me a small research task without pay. Thus, my foot was in the door.

I heard about Professor Magnel, who was teaching at the University of Gand. Magnel was known as the “Pope of reinforced concrete” in Belgium. He had published a set of very useful books on the subject which provided answers to all the questions and engineer could encounter in practice. His books were the Bible of the practitioner.

I made an appointment with professor Magnell and visited him. It was an enlightening experience. As a beginner. I asked for his counsel on an engineering career and always remember his sensible answer, he advised me to choose and to apply ONE method of structural analysis from among the many and to know that method in depth. This was his secret, and he was right. He gave me as a gift one of his books on pre-stress concrete, which I still have. The deadline to go to the coal mines was dangerously closing in, and… Construction of the National Bank de Belgique…. …. Congo bridges … USA World Bank West Africa ….

Swerve v. Danielson is a barn burner. What a match.

Danielson - "Instructions For A Prayer For Every Hour"

11/11/23.

Another day, another amazing release. Frog's S/T release must have escaped a lot of people, because there are still 5 CDs left from the original pressing. Frog are a New York, New York band and this CD was originally issued on Monkfish Records and now is being handled by Frog's new label, Audio Antihero.

Listening to "Jesus Song" and "Rubbernecking" made me think of what Pavement might have sounded like if they were weirder. I mean this is definitely indie rock, but sometimes this has a country feel, and at other times it rocks hard but without a typical song structure to keep you knowing what's coming next.

This also recalls Chronophage, Danielson, Pere Ubu and maybe Meat Puppets. One more...the vocals remind me of Jason Cassidy's work in The Party and Viking Skate Country. You can kind of tell I'm all over the place. Listen to this.

Danielson from Oklahoma

RIP the og version of the NWA, Bryan Danielson would’ve tore it up in the territory system Terry Funk style.

Tbh Bryan becoming a freelancer could be the best move, bc as much as I love him in AEW, he has the ultimate freedom wrestling for whomever and whatever he wants; he doesn’t have the responsibility/obligation to be always available for the main event scene or do behind the scenes work, even tho I know he wants to do those things too. Born to be a nomad, forced to be a company’s (or multiple companies) pillar

The sad thing is, I know in the moment hearing the Final Countdown and having Bryan win the belt at Wembley will be cool, the match will be good, and my critical thinking skills will shut off for the serotonin.

But in terms of intrigue, build, in ring work, and story? Hangman and Swerve deserved that spot.

I don't get the people who say Bryan needs to be a part of the belt's lineage, the fact that he was even in any promotion having great matches are enough. In my brain, Bryan is like a higher being that has transcended the need for a belt or rub off his legacy on it. Him wrestling for you IS the rub already.

The person who designed adam page’s bisexual desert starry night gear is the same one who designed all of Bryan Danielson’s awesome gear in his last full-time year
