Red Letters

I finally got around to listening to Red Letters, and I must say, I really like it. It's not the best CD in the world, but it's utterly charming. I mean, hello, it's by Edward Ka-Spel, which means that it's at least interesting and quirky. Edward Ka-Spel is frequently brilliant, at any rate, and I always find his music peculiarly soothing and (perhaps) enchanting.

And honestly, track 8 (Swamp Thing / Simone Is / Red Letters / Katha) is probably one of the most beautiful, haunting songs I've heard in my entire life. Especially I believe the Simone Is section, though it's very hard to tell which parts of the song correspond to which parts of the title (which I quite like).

More later, when I'm feeling a bit less... whatever.
