i'm only thinking

you've reached the tumble blog of travis james johansen. i ride a bike or two, play an instrument or two and work in a museum. this is where i'll talk about music, cats, food, art and sprinkles of things from my daily life; but mostly music.

This track is wonderful. So is the video, I wish it had been finished.

My lovely girlfriend found this on the interweb and I’m stuck on that repeat again. I had never heard of this. Gareth Williams, member of the great THIS HEAT making wonderful music that was never released. Another for the list of the Saddest Things in the World to me. How did this music exist and never make it to the surface? It’s wonderful. He died in 2001 at the age of 48.

This Heat was only around for 5 years, another mind boggle. Have you heard “For A Reason” by Lifetones?

AND in lieu of noting the absence of NEWNESS/NEWNEWS I offer this great project by artist Cory Archangel:
