Come on! Feel the Illinoise! (Day 103)

I was awakened suddenly by someone banging on my door and now I can't get back to sleep, so it's time for a phoned in entry.

• Day 27: Aesop Rock - "None Shall Pass"

Maybe my favorite overall Aesop track with the most listens overall. I know the lyrics by heart but I couldn't even begin to tell you what they mean. Does that make me a bad music fan? I don't know, but I still love this song.

• Day 28: Long Distance Calling - "Welcome Change"

Long Distance Calling is usually almost entirely instrumental (with one guest vocalist per album) but their latest release is a different story. A little over half the tracks on the album feature vocals and for the most part it works quite well! This track features guest vocals from someone I don't recognize but its quite catchy and a definite highlight.

• Day 29: Damascus - "Want for Nothing"

Damascus is an instrumental heavy post-rock group that I stumbled upon on Bandcamp. I liked what I heard so I purchased their album. It's really solid stuff.

• Day 30: Damascus - "Come to Light"

The opening track of Heights features a pretty piano entry that gives way to rolling drums and heavy guitars.

I'm on case 2 of the new Ace Attorney and quite enjoying it! It's great to see Phoenix Wright returning. Hopefully I will have a more substantial entry for tomorrow.
