there is no music.

when you truly love humankind, you accept everyone.

who are you accepting?

holy shit.

later with Jools Holland has some really really good shit.

i just rediscovered my love with Arcade Fire. argh.

any of you who are performers or want to perform, this is your inspiration. FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING RAD I WANT TO EXPLODE AND TELL THE WORLD EVERY TIME I WATCH THEM LIVE ON YOUTUBE.


Arcade Fire - Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out) + Rebellion (Lies)



imagine being there. their live performances just have this different texture and sound to them every performance, as compared to the equivalent songs on the studio albums. incredible. this is the meaning of live performance.

what sets bjork completely apart from other performances is her ideas and the ideas you can sense are just barely held back onto the stage. she interacts with the other performers, makes them feel necessary, and gives them space to show that they are part of the song and the music. she explained volta to me, it's the fusion of earthly and industrial sounds. what we humans are. it explains everything on the album. especially the brass.

for you adventurous enough, here is

Bjork - Earth Intruders

This is my face
I've got a thousand opinions
And not the time to explain

And this is my body
And no matter how you try and disable it
Yes I'll still be here

And, this, is my mind
And although you try to infringe
You cannot confine

And, this, is my brain
And even if you try and hold me back
There's nothing that you can gain

'Cause I use mouthwash
Sometimes I floss
I've got a family
And I drink cups of tea

I've got nostalgic pavements
I've got familiar faces
I've got a mixed-up memory
And I've got favourite places

- Kate Nash, "Mouthwash"

no matter what, you can't change me. accept me, or be done with it.

i'm stronger now. i will still try to love you.
i've got nothing against you.

haha.

"akward laugh"

FUCK I NEED TO GET THESE ALBUMS.

i feel like the luckiest, happiest guy on earth.

=)

really, even as i'm sitting here in front of the computer.

omgomgomgomg i need to blog about this.

don't you think personalised ads on the internet are scary? like, they know what your hobbies are, and then they generate advertisements to your screen based on them. HOW THE HELL DO THEY CALCULATE THEM? how do you know i'm in dance? take gmail for instance, i feel so terrified when they flash appropriate ads at me. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME!! ahhhhhh!

hello world.

i've changed my desktop wallpaper, my game, and my phone.

i feel changed, like i just pivoted or something.

hello!

All at once, not a whisper, nor word.
Then all at once...
Let me have it all, let me have a battle on,
Easy target,
Look can we just...just get it over with.
It's getting worse, against all the odds...
It's getting worse.
(Guard down, floor's yours, last man standing can we, just get it over with.)

Been one of those days...
Safety first, don't push...don't push me...what's the hurry?
Cause there's One nerve remaining, waiting on one look,
One look now...have you got it?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?

adeeb! adeeb! adeeb!
