Van Duren - Are You Serious?

Has this hit the blogspotters yet? Undeniably sweet verbiage from a newly reissued 70’s session musician. I feel guilty posting it, so if your insatiable downloading lust for 70’s pop can wait a few days buy it directly from the artist here. Otherwise, here.

The story.

"a pedal-to-the-metal Bourbon bouquet"

At the end of the day there is nothing like sitting back, putting on some tapes on the hi-fi, and relaxing with a fine bourbon. This particular bottle of "Eagle Rare" was given as a gift and has never failed to disappoint the the palate. Below is a review of this fine bottle from the impenetrable Paul Pacult of the "The Spirit Journal."

The bright honey/topaz color shows sparkling bronze core features impeccable purity; the early aromas include gentle grain, toasted honey-wheat bread, and tobacco leaf with aeration, the aroma quickly transforms into a pedal-to-the-metal Bourbon bouquet as evolved scents of ripe banana and charcoal tweak the olfactory sense in the middle stage whiffs -- fragrances of lanolin, almond butter, melon, and oil accent the toastiness beautifully -- it's a somewhat restrained, or better, understated aroma but I sense lots of power lying just beneath the surface; my, my, my, what have we here -- in the mouth, this oily, toasty beauty seduces the taste buds at palate entry with dry flavors of cereal grain and mild oak resin -- the mid-palate tastes explode on the tongue in unabashedly sweet and oily flavors of black raisins, grape- fruit, charred oak, and candied almonds; the finish is long, corny sweet, moderately fiery, and lasciviously oily; easily one of the most tactile yet assertive and expressive Bourbons I've tasted in the last two years; fasten your seat belts.

Bruce Haack-Haackula (1978)

"When you consider that Bruce Haack usually spent his time composing children's music, Haackula can be sort of creepy. The majority of the lyrics have a dark and bitter quality to them. Key words: lies, deception, control, cynicism and frustration. It's also a very personal album. In one song Haack strikes back at the people who criticized his music, singing that: "They don't have to be near me to lick my dick." In contrast to the bleak lyrics, the electronic music bops merrily along, which makes for an all the while creepier sound. Interestingly, the last song on the album "Party Machine" is distinctly different (not creepy) from the rest. I consider this to be Haack's magnum opus, an 8 minute song that deals with the complexes of the computerization of mankind, and Haack's notion that mankind is, essentially, a computer. It's also insanely catchy and well-crafted, an important yet overlooked electronic song from this period. Even though some of the material on Haackula later found its way onto Haack's album Bite, the original album was never released, allegedly because of its dark and personal content. You can, however, easily find it on SoulSeek and the killer mysterysymptoms.blogspot.com"
