1. Harper Road - 0:00
2. Duk Koo Kim - 5:43
I greatly apologize for the audio quality. Security was dogging on people with their phones out so I had to keep mine hidden.
I never thought I'd hear Harper Road live, as Mark tends to avoid April tracks in the times I've seen him live. I really love April, but it was likely a painful time in his life so I can see why he'd avoid those songs. Still, I was more than happy when he started his little preamble before playing it. The nostalgia it evokes, the new meaning it takes on in this time in my life, the beauty of it by itself; such a wonderful song. He plays it ever so slightly slower than the album version, which is quite welcome.
Mark actually did not play Duk Koo Kim sequentially after this, it just so happens that they fit together perfectly with no jarring overlap. In fact it was the last song he played that night. I've heard him play it live several times before, and this was definitely my favorite one. It's a lot of little bit of a shame that there was this poor girl suffering from some kind of cough, and she was right next to me. I hope she's doing better.

Louder than its predecessor, Two Guns, Twin Arrows is an interesting followup to Abilenes self-titled. Interesting in that I cant quite make out what its about. I recognize the energy, forlorn and angry, but cant make heads or tails of the words, and will add more to this description as things come to me. I didnt want to put off publishing any longer just because I dont have a writeup yet.
Solidarity
Fate vs Faith in the final track carries separate meaningful connotations. The lyrics has it written fate outlined this morning, but the spoken lyric is faith outlined this morning. Faith has more in it to make things happen than subscribing to the notion that fate will. Faith in nearly anything can bring about wonder if the faith is strong enough to move the person. Whatever this morning is in reference to, some sort of black light, its very interesting to me the very separate connotations of fate bringing about this black light vs faith. Fate? Nothing anyone could do about it, like a force of nature. Faith? Someone took the time, and strained hard enough, to bring it. It could also just be a minor changing of words that vocalists often tend to do when singing vs the written lyrics that doesnt really mean anything in that moment.

I dont think its any stretch to say that Acid Mothers Temple is my favorite band of all time. These guys are just endless inspiration and endless pleasure of the ears. Originally I had another AMT album in my queue of things to listen to, Chaos Unforgiven Kisses, but I mistook it for this one. I hadnt heard this one before, and what the goddamn I was fucking floored. Just totally. The riff Kawabata Makoto improvs over is absolutely infectious for the mind, and Pikachus drums/vocals just send me sky high. AMT is no stranger to vocals in their performances or studio work, but shouting akin to Boredoms is something I never knew I wanted from AMT. Its so perfect, like hot sauce AMT always needed.
There is something to be said about vocals really helping to drive, or color, longer instrumental pieces. Look at Amon Duul IIs 18 minute masterpiece, Yeti. Chris Karrer and Renate Knaup briefly trade and share vocal duties in the songs breakdown. They come out in frenzied shouts, giving the listener something to really hold on to. I wish I had a better way to describe it, but a similar and perhaps more crystal example is on Boredoms 55 minute noise piece, GO!!! Five minutes of sampling and light noises before vocalist eYe shouts GO!!! into the listeners ears. Then its cacophonic noise for...almost then on. Theres a spoiler, and I wish I didnt have to do this to illustrate my point, but around the 20 minute mark, all sound stops, like an engine sputtering out suddenly, when eYe shouts the band back in again with another GO!!! Theres an enormously different, I would say lesser, energy without eYes vocals at the beginning and 20 minute marks. The same thing is happening here, on Master of the Cosmic Inferno, and the Pink Lady Lemonade rendition. Tabata Mitsurus constant Pink Lady Lemonade! and Youre so sweet! Ooohh youre a Pink Lady Lemonade! just add oodles of fun to a classic AMT track. Factor in the noise and fuzz, either from the quality of the recording or some alterations to their instruments, and this is just a damn perfect live show. Some people might be put off by Doobie Wonderland, I know I was, but Ive learned to really love it. Disco, hey! Helps that the show doesnt end with Doobie, but with more PLL.

Chimanaco (Bloody Eyes) was a female threepiece from Japan. I found them by chance here on youtube at this address:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPxB5btoXBE
and immediately fell for this album. Normally I dont like to upload albums other people have with so many views, as I like to expose people to things that arent really anywhere, but I really feel that this is an absolute treasure. Chimanaco has come and gone, the band having changed their name to Shiroi asa ni saku (Blooming in the white morning) with the departure of its drummer and bassist, leaving the lead vocalist to form her own solo projects under the name Suicideblue, but Chimanaco left us with a golden piece of work. Unbridled emotion, poppy tunes, and two closers that are to die for. Please see the link aboves description for links to the bands official blog, Suicideblues youtube page, and other relevant information.
If somebody could please translate the lyrics, that would be wonderful.
