Another Saturday, another Album of the Week.
This weeks Album of the Week is The Weakerthans' "Reconstruction Site." (Did anybody notice that a majority of the words in that sentence were capitalized?). It is easily one of my favorite records, by one of my favorite bands. I got it at the Budimir library in 2004 and it has been permanently playing on my stereo for the last 4 years. I can honestly say I've never gotten tired of the brilliant poetry of John K. Samson, combined with catchy hooks and melodies. The album is based around three tracks, "(Manifest)", "(Hospital Vespers)" and "(Past-Due)", which are about a terminally ill hospital patient. Here are those tracks.
Manifest
Hospital Vespers
Past-Due
Does anyone else REALLY want to become John K. Samson?
Maybe just me.
Enjoy mes amis
