Music The Art of Burial

Posted by CHARLES MUDEDE on July 7 at 12:46 PM

This is a comment to my most recent Line Out post about a musician whose work has captivated me since first hearing it back in early April, Burial:

the imagery conjured up by Burial’s music is so vivid and hanuting. i’ve never been able to visualize music (without chemicals) in the way this music touches my imagination. it’s both alien and deeply personal. living and dead… last night i sat on my sofa, eyes closed, imagining lost worlds, muggy urban afternoons passing by at warp speed and the sound of humanity suffering. nothing sounds good right after you listen to this album. it may not always be an album i return to year after year, but for now, it’s the most provocaive, emotional music i’ve ever heard.
BIZ

Burial is my mission in life.

I'd like to vote against ever having to endure "an indepth commentary by you about the entire album."
Thanks in advance.
Also, re-posting complimentary comments about yourself as a separate blog entry is just plain weird.
Don't you get already enough glad-handing from Feit?

sorry, i didn't see myself in that post. i only saw what he/she had to say about burial. i removed the compliments passed on to me and preserved the compliments passed on to burial. now go and buy the fucking record.

(by the way, when it comes to letters about my work or ideas, the norm has not been kind letters; much more often the letters are vicious and angry. And the editors at this paper are more likely to publish those vicious and angry letters than the few kind ones i receive.)

With the notable exception of the letter about the CD story they printed this week.

Charles, thank your for your poetic and dreamy post. It made my day. Don't let the good letter/bad letter dialectic upset you. Fire and water are the same unfolding of history.

"Vicious and angry" is as far as most Stranger letter-writers ever get, Charles.

The Stranger whining about other people being viscious and angry? Pot-Kettle.
