thumb harp lots of empty space
I just need to get the last of my equipment together and order some lye.
my soap scents came in and they are all very exciting except for Forest Glen, which smells predominantly like musk in the bottle.
Sapmoss Description:
Eucalyptus Description:A very unusual and earthy blend, with top notes of natural petigrain and galbanum, leading to a floral-herbal middle of yellow rose, cyclamen, and green notes. Much of this fragrance's character comes from strong bottom notes of natural olibanum, patchouli, sandalwood, and Virginia cedarwood oil, along with rich musk and Madagascar vanilla. BOTTOM LINE: Extremely earthy and natural smelling.
Lavender & Herbs Description:A clean, fresh, herbal blend. Top notes of essential oils of eucalyptus, pine, bergamot, lemon, lime, and petitgrain lead to a floral middle of jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, ylang, and tagetes (essential oil of marigold). The soft, musky bottom also contains essential oil of patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, and vanilla. BOTTOM LINE: A very pleasing green, unisex, upscale fragrance.
Rosemary Mint Description:This lavender blend is heavy on the natural essential oils, including lavender, lavandin, cedarwood, eucalyptus, geranium, copaiba balsam, chamomile, fir needle, rosemary, marjoram, and lemon. Floral notes of jasmine, rose, and tuberose help to round out and soften the blend.
Forest Glen Description:A brisk, clean, blend that's a real eye-opener in the morning shower.
Spicy pine needles combined with rich, intense oakmoss, white violets, cedarwood, and patchouli essential oil. A rich musk-vanilla accord adds sweetness and staying power. Intense and intricate.

crispy sounds frizzling through your grey matter if you listed to this with stereo headphones. the second half of the song is less dramatic, though.

this track is terribly fun. has a silly feel at first, but it seems to come and go. the craftmanship can't be denied.
Goatee - J Swinscoe

this track is all twisted up and muddled, but it's good that way.
listen to it when you are in the mood for something with slight
challenge. there's a bit where a torch singer's voice wails in briefly
that is spectacular (unfortunately, that bit isn't in the short
sample. have to find the full track).

this song got lost on a roadtrip across nevada and ran out of gas. now it and its buddies are leaning up against the dusty car, staring out at the scrubby, sandy landscape. the radio is working intermittently, stuck on a fire and brimstone religious station.
I didn't realize there was a video for this song! it appears I was correct about the desert driving, but they don't run out of gas.

Kylie cover. apparently a favorite of Karl.

somewhat traditional techno, but I like it
Three Hunderd by Pilote
interesting vocal sample adds the right feel to the looping music. this short sample does not do show the track well.

"Nothing has ever been finally found out.
Because there is nothing final to find out.
It's like looking for a needle that no one lost in a haystack that never was--"
