wall of voodoo, and you too.

My manic run of mayhem continues -- and I find myself generally without the energy or will to do significant posting on the blog.  Work is piling up and I now feel like I know what it must feel like to swim for twenty days straight.

BUT:  A note.

Tonight, as I process, process, process... I'm listening to Wall of Voodoo's 1981 self-titled EP. Re-released on the Index Masters Wall of Voodoo compilation, it is a work of beauty. It even has the most beautifully odd over of "Ring of Fire" I've ever heard. Not quite as creepily awesome as Devo's 1978 cover of the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction"...  but still, pretty damn awesome.

I must say, some kick-ass, twisted and alternative post-punk from the early 1980s goes a long, long way in helping give me that extra push I need to get through yet another long night of reading and writing.

Sonic coffee.  It's jazzing me up.  And I need it.

Sunset was at 4:17 p.m. today. Long nights made even longer.
