Midnight Oil: Antarctica

Posted on April 25, 2021 by Stupidity Hole

Midnight Oil are a band that I’m quite fond of. I’ve listened to them not anywhere near as much as I’d like, but perhaps more than I believe. “Antarctica” is a song I listened to quite a lot whilst I … Continue reading →

tricot: Tokyo Vampire Hotel

Posted on April 19, 2021 by Stupidity Hole

I’ve wanted to do these a bit more frequently and I’m not sure as to why I have not. This was written over three listens, though the last one was split up a fair bit due to how quickly “Tokyo … Continue reading →

Killing Joke: In Cythera

Posted on February 23, 2021 by Stupidity Hole

This one took a bit longer to write than I thought it would. I wrote a few sentences last night. I then wrote the bulk a few hours ago and finished it off a few minutes ago. I don’t think … Continue reading →

Michiko Naruke: Migratory Birds ~ Wandering Bird Scoundrels

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Stupidity Hole

I feel as though it has been too long since I last did one of these (about a month) and had been meaning to write about this song in some capacity for a week or so. I think that if … Continue reading →

Masato Kouda: Monster Hunter

Posted on January 15, 2021 by Stupidity Hole

I think with this bit of writing I was trying to find a balance of describing imagery and feeling, and what the instrumentation was doing. It’s all quite surface and imbalanced, I think. That said, I do think that some … Continue reading →

Five-Hundred Word Challenge 846: On The Hives

Posted on December 28, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Well, that is the way that the things go and now I am energised, which means I have to explain the event in question. You see, what I was doing was listening to The Hives and whilst I was listening … Continue reading →

Baroness: The Sweetest Curse

Posted on December 26, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

For this one I went more for describing what was happening with the music. Before starting this I was looking to do something that wasn’t one thing the whole way through. “The Sweetest Curse” does shift a bit, but (other … Continue reading →

Yoshitaka Hirota: The Fate ~ Cluster Amaryllis

Posted on December 22, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

I think I was trying to both describe the song as well as the imagery and I think it led to this being clunky. In part I that chunkiness is due to this being written over one listen with a … Continue reading →

Rei Kondoh: The Sun Rises

Posted on December 21, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

With this I was trying to articulate the feelings and imagery more than how the song progressed. Despite familiarity with the song it took two listens and I’m not sure as to how successful I was. Rei Kondoh’s (近藤 嶺) … Continue reading →

Blind Idiot God: Thunderhead

Posted on December 18, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

This was written over one listen. I’m kind of surprised that I got this much out of it as “Thunderhead” moves quickly and is quite relentless. Maybe it was due to familiarity with the song from listening to it a … Continue reading →
