a cinema of sunshine

#vantheman

Came across a cool post at a blog called @quitmumbling today that features this track by Them, which is definitely one of my favorite recordings of all time, if not my favorite.  Once when i was up at Purchase in my friend’s dorm room i put this track on repeat (from the Basquiat OST) for an entire friday night, and we sat there listening and drinking 40’s of Old English.  Simpler times..

btw, Quit Mumbling also has an amazing feature today about beat radio!!

Heavy back into Van the Man these days.  Has forgotten about this track - great example of Van improvising some visionary stream of conscious type shit - total science.  there’s a little bit of his “weird van” thing - always super idiosyncratic.  but it’s also beautiful and transcendent.  i think what i love most about Van is how he transports you like no other - you’re in a whole different world.  Image via here.
