Audiversity’s weekly column on random music in a predetermined number of words between 1 & 150. This week's randomly generated number: 86.

(Ed. - Originally this was called Threeversity, but in the spirit of simplicity we've decided to retroactively relabel all of these posts. The content remains unchanged.)

Goddamn. It’s 8:30p Friday night. I’m listening and writing and happily propping my feet up after two straight 10 hour workdays and less than 5 hours of sleep between. The clock is already ticking on tonight’s potential sleep since I will be loading in WLUW’s Record Fair at 7a tomorrow, and then helping keep it afloat for the next 48 hours. It Just Don't Stop. Thanks Roots, I need this, even if your Illadelph problems circa ’96 were a bit more substantial than my current bitching.

Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO - Hello Good Child / Does the Cosmic Shepherd Dream of Electric Tapirs?

I just discovered a treehouse in my backyard. Toru Okada had his well and I have my treehouse overlooking an abyss of urban development. It really is like sitting on the edge of the world. Nights like these deserve proper mood music. "Hello Good Child" is a cosmic duet between Tsuyama and Cotton Casino's vibrant souls, floating along all spectral, holding hands in the fifth dimension. It's an anthem to the stars, perfect for skygazing and giving yourself over to the awesome majesty of outer space.

Hague native Danny Wolfers aka Legowelt looks innocent enough, doesn't he? If only he knew what night terrors he's probably caused people... I found "Valley of Darkness by blindly stumbling through his massive back catalog (that started around 1998). Tucked away deep on the b-side to his thematic Beyond the Congo 12", “Valley of Darkness” doesn’t need words to give a feel for where it’s heading: Doom-deep bass, paranoid synth pitches, laser-powered beats, and even cats of the jungle. Kurtz gets his 21st century makeover.
