Even giants think they’ll always live forever

A scant thirty minutes ago, an email from Amazon.com alerted me that Rasputina’s “Sister Kinderhook” is coming out on June 15th. I had not heard of “Sister Kinderhook” before 30 minutes ago. Remiss! I have been remiss!
This is the second time this year that one of my favorite musical groups released (or will release) a new CD that I didn’t know about at all. And I was actually trying to keep up, too! Are Melora Creager and Stephin Merritt playing tricksy, tricksy games with me this spring?
The Rasputina website offers a track – “Holocaust of Giants” – from the new CD, so of course I took a listen (or 90). I realized I’d actually heard the song before – they played it at the concert I went to in April! This gave me a sense of triumph and satisfaction, that sense I get when I manage to “go out and do something,” that sense that I just might be an adult individual spinning out in this world. And that’s pretty snazzy.
