Ripped by eva twin

Alright, I can't help it - I promised I was going to move on from MAGFest, but it has positively infested my mind. Everyone's sets at Chipspace were absolutely incredible, and I believe I've raved enough about them for a lifetime with Mother, Father, TechnoMan alone. Yet there was something quite magical about eva twin's set in particular. She was not only playing her own rips - she was PERFORMING them.

With a bass in hand and a setlist of rips ready to go, eva twin's 20-minute set of hand-picked rips was one of the most transcendant experiences I've ever had with the SiIvaGunner channel. Maybe it was just a bunch of colliding factors exclusive to my own experience - the live-chat experience, the brand new pair of headphones with an emphasized bass, and the fact that I've only through this blog discovered just how rich of a track record eva twin has with chill, atmospheric yet feel-good rips such as Blessing the Dire, Dire Rains and Mii Favorite Things. Both of these were covered here on the blog before being featured on the Chipspace set, and eva twin was one of the first rippers that I was made aware of having read the blog to begin with, even way back in June and July. I can't help but feel a little touched to think that I may have, through this blog and the word I spread on here, influenced eva twin to chose those two rips in particular for her set. Be that the case or not, I feel obligated to return the favor by covering a third rip from this set - Sable's Stickerbush.
Out of all the rips from the set - at least, the ones I haven't covered yet - I think Sable's Stickerbush mainly just sticks out because I hadn't ever heard it. Sable is a game that sits firmly in my backlog of "it looks interesting I guess"-kinds of games, and with less than 10K views on its YouTube upload Sable's Stickerbush was bound to be a rip I forgot about quite quickly. Yet the absolute vibe captured through using what's perhaps the oldest yet most effective trick in the book - Stickerbush Symphony of Stickerbrush State of Mind (and so many more) fame. Yet paired with the instrumentation and hauntingly beautiful vocals of Sable's Glider theme, it somehow manages to play second fiddle in terms of melody in a way it typically really doesn't do in rips - despite never having heard it before, Glider by Japanese Breakfast captured my imagination right away upon hearing it.
I'll no longer get to have the experience of hearing Glider for the first time within the Sable game itself, yet I can't find it in me to be mad whatsoever when the experience I had listening to Sable's Stickerbush for the first time was just as magical. Even without eva twin's bass performance from Chipspace, the rip stands as an absolutely magical combination of two pitch-perfect sources, a true expression of love toward Sable and its small yet devoted fanbase. And, of course, nothing but another feather in eva twin's cap of excellent sound.
That's composer Angelo Badalamenti and singer Julee Cruise celebrating the upcoming September releases of the Twin Peaks soundtrack and the video performance of Industrial Symphony No. 1, created by Badalamenti and director David Lynch in which Julee also stars.

HURRAH KRYZSTOF KOMEDA: The Olivia Tremor Control and Robert Schneider of The Apples in Stereo have composed the original score for a film called Dean Quixote (which, according to word on the street, “isn’t very good.”) The soundtrack will also feature songs from Songs:Ohia, Tim Keegan, The Bevis Frond and Dustin Nguyen of “21 Jump Street.” Guided By Voices reputedly pop-up in the film.
HURRAH BOB GELDOF: Orange Twin, the Elephant 6’s charity branch, recently successfully saved the roof to the Brewer Bell Museum in Canton, TX. The museum, run by and devoted to the hand-painted bells of Virginia Belle Brewer, was hobbled by damage to the roof that pushed it to the verge of collapse. Ms. Brewer began to sell hand-painted bells to raise funds for a repair effort, but the money she raised was not nearly enough to cover expenses. In steps £6. Jeff Mangum drew and Laura Carter painted 40 t-shirts and put them up for sale at $20 a pop on the Orange Twin web site (home.earthlink.net/%7Eorangetwin/). The shirts sold out immediately, helping toward a new roof for the museum.

HURRAH CAMILLE PAGLIA: Online content king Salon.com listed Jack Logan’s Buzz Me In, the Olivia Tremor Control's Black Foliage, and the Music Tapes’ 1st Imaginary Symphony For Nomad among the best CDs of 1999. Music Tapes’ Julian Koster was called the “Roald Dahl” of the Elephant 6 collective. Apparently, Scott Spillane is the “Judy Blume” of the Elephant 6 collective.
these will be some of the hottest Old World music releases to have a resurgence in the year 2064 being played in people’s apartments in the solarpunk highrises that have like 24 potted plants per room and skylights on every floor somehow while they wait for regenerative agriculture to make the air outside breathable again
