about

John Hawkwood's Blackfoot Sun Chengdu, China

As day slowly dies & the sun sinks somberly into the sea, a whispered conversation tells a strange tale of a nameless prince who loved a foreign princess, but she left him, & so he lost his face & turned to stone.

Terminal Patience
by The Voluptuals

This is a pretty great record. I don't know, just listen to it if you're looking to listen to something new. "Everybody Loves You When You're Dead" is pretty killer. This band really digs The Sweet. John Hawkwood's Blackfoot Sun

Heat
by Le'Ponds

This is a crazy album. All the melodies are in fact harmonies, which is trippy. Many of the songs are only a few chords, but are arpeggiated to sound like many. It's avant-garde minimalistic jazz. John Hawkwood's Blackfoot Sun

Misgivings (album)
by Imperial

Bridgette Imperial is a brilliant singer-songwriter/composer with a remarkable gift for shoe-gaze, in only the best sense. Misgivings is a beautiful, meditative & heartbreakingly melancholy album. John Hawkwood's Blackfoot Sun
