There were hunting hounds by the palace grounds, believe me.

I've been listening attentively to this album from Miike Snow since it came out and I should've featured a track a long time ago for "song of the day from album of the week". Better late than never. The whole album is solid. Check this jam out.

All The Stars, Your Eyes, Raining Just For Me.

Last Friday, Cali (http://www.rvca.com/advocates/?cat=10) and I were driving to Whole Foods to get some lunch for the Beta Petrol crew.
I asked him if he had heard the new Antony & the Johnsons, as I had only heard the EP and the first few tracks on the LP.
He popped the CD in and said that there is a line ("Hold that man I love so much") in the song "Aeon"
that Antony will be remembered for, and proceeded to play it for me.

 It was raining in Los Angeles that day, and as I was listening to the song for the first time,
there was a certain alchemical and powerful reaction I had
to the intensity and tenderness and beauty of that song unfolding
right there in Cali's car, in the grayness
of the sky, on a day filled
with the gravity and magnificence of my own life unfolding.
