Imagine: You bring out one of the good rocks glasses (or your favorite mug or a special occasion tea cup) and pour a couple fingers of amber liquid (or something dark and strong or just some whole milk). You drop the needle on the jazz platter (or pull up a blues album on your mp3 player or dig out that mixtape from college). Ensconcing yourself in the coziest seat in the house, you crack the spine on a classic (or find your place in that sci-fi paperback or pull up a biography on your e-book reader). And then, you go away for a while. Ah, bliss.<\/p>\n<p>In this series, some of NTSIB&#8217;s friends share beloved albums, books and drinks to recommend or inspire.<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nowthissound.com\/ntsib\/2013\/09\/17\/ghost-twins-dream-ondream\/\">last time<\/a> I shared a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Weareghosttwins\">Ghost Twins<\/a> song, it was <i><a href=\"http:\/\/ghosttwins.bandcamp.com\/\">Dream On\/Dream Off<\/a><\/i>, which is a zippy up-tempo number. Today I bring you <i>Unknown Animal<\/i>, which starts off at the other end of the &#8220;dream noise pop&#8221; spectrum &#8211; it&#8217;s slower, and a little more unearthly &#8211; and then suddenly kicks into gear.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m sharing it in video format because, you guys, this video is kind of dream-like itself. In the sense that it starts off with a &#8220;behind the scenes&#8221; vibe, detours through trippy and weird and then becomes a concert video.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Ghost Twins - Unknown Animal\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_rjaXwdJk-kk\"><div id=\"lyte_rjaXwdJk-kk\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/rjaXwdJk-kk\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\">Ghost Twins - Unknown Animal<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/rjaXwdJk-kk\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/rjaXwdJk-kk\/0.jpg\" alt=\"Ghost Twins - Unknown Animal\" width=\"640\" height=\"340\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAfter listening to the tracks, I was curious about the two gentlemen who created them. So joining us today is Chris Jones (vocals\/guitar), to share a favorite read, record and drink:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>A Good Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/bukowski.net\/\">Charles Bukowski<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harpercollins.com\/browseinside\/index.aspx?isbn13=9780060577063\"><em>Come On In!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The poem <a href=\"http:\/\/furiouspoetics.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/04\/this-machine-is-a-fountain-bukowski\/\"><em>This Machine is a Fountain<\/em><\/a> is stuck up on my desk at work. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a great poem to refer back to whenever creating any type of art.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Good Listen:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Velvet-Underground-Nico\/dp\/B000002G7C\">The Velvet Underground and Nico<\/a><br \/>\nThis record manages to travel across many, many genres but still retain its focus. Pop, folk, punk, rock n\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 roll and avant-garde noise perfectly sit next to each other. Nobody else could have achieved it.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/youtu.be\/iLQzaLr1enE<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>A Good Drink:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brewdog.com\/\">BrewDog<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brewdog.com\/product\/punk-ipa\">Punk IPA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The name and label drew me to it at first. And even if a lot of Brew Dog drinks are un-drinkable (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brewdog.com\/product\/tactical-nuclear-penguin\">Tactical Nuclear Penguin<\/a> for example) the balance of the punk beer is pretty spot on. It also helps that I can get it from Sainsbury&#8217;s rather than having to order it from Scotland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a simple yet sublime pleasure, and just thinking about it can make you feel a little calmer, a little more content.
