| In the summer train of Russia, 2017
Salutations, friends, I'm back from the mountain lands called Dagestan and this time I've got a complete playlist of albums that helped me survive the two days of horrible bus/train rides. There were a lot more recs before I went away, but you know how it is when you're not feelin' well - if the record doesn't click with you the very first time you play it, you just don't wanna play it anymore. I've heard a lot more during the trip, but these records stayed until the end. | | 1 |  | Monster Magnet

The one to wake you up, the one to give you what you need. Like a dose of some shit I never bothered to try, you can have just one fix or you can wallow in it over and over again. Cage any sun, you rock-n-rollin' basterd. | | 2 |  | Mark Lanegan
Field Songs

Landscape: Lonesome, Clouds, Fields, Hills, Roads
Seeing all these villages transiently flash in front of your eyes, you wish it was raining with whiskey from the vast sky. We don't cry, we only let these guitar tones wail for our souls. | | 3 |  | MONO

The Great Depression
Time: Morning
Mood: Cheerful, Tired
Landscape: Countryside, Roads, Hills, Fields
Not my favorite Defiance, Ohio album because it feels kinda directionless and not really memorable at most, but if you're looking for comfort in riot, look no further. The folks are all here. | | 5 |  | Umekichi

Endless dancing on the bones of your old self. You're a fucking inner-city cowboy now. Hawks, eagles, swifts, fireworks lighting up the mountains. | | 10 |  | Derek Bailey

They said it best when they said that hard dicks and telling people they're bad at making art go hand in hand. Our truck is not like yours. | | 11 |  | Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra
This Is Our Punk-Rock, Thee Rusted Satellites Gather And Sing
Time: Day

The magic of this album is that it works beyond any time, mood or landscape. As a true metaphor for the train, "Titles" keeps on going until it takes you where you're heading. | |
