Brenda:

"That's the thing about depression: if you really allow yourself to feel it, it gets very boring very fast."

psychobabble - do we know what we're talking about or are we just filling up the space?

i'm giving things up. i can't have everything. life involves sacrifice.
i don't want sacrifice. i want to give it up.

there was a baby on the table in Six Feet Under. it really made me think.

yeah, but i don't want to think! i want to have a reason to think, and the reason being love!

oh man seriously, i sound so pretentious just putting exclamation marks everywhere and not even telling you what i'm reacting against.

well, fuck you. i care about you, but not too much now, i need to take care of myself now. and you'll be happy for me, because you're my friend, right?

Brandon Flowers - Crossfire



such flourish!

hey, woman!

fuck you!

unless you do something about that nasty period of yours.

it's making my ears and soul bleed.


this song has a direct relationship to the post.

Brenda:
"Well, we're all wounded. We carry our wounds around with us through life, and eventually they kill us. Things happen that leave a mark in space, in time. In us."

well. i've been deciding over the past couple of days whether to switch to tumblr.

any suggestions?

one thing i read though, is that blogger's controls are more intuitive.

and tumblr is mainly for people who want to redistribute content, not create some.
blogger writes more.
so i guess i should write more, right?

as consolation i've updated my links. i'm supposed to sleep early tonight. i'm going to choose a blogskin that's less hassle to navigate around (NO MORE ITSY BITSY CLICKING.) okay changed it.

i'm just so sick of the html-looking, amateur templates of blogskins.

i've updated my links.

gahhhh here's a picture.

oh, can someone explain to me how the la liga works? there's series A and everything...and i always thought juventus was an english club but what are they doing in series A???

that's how you choose music.

the silver and gold thread of each artist dances over every album that he, she or they make. it twists. you cannot think to compare, only to move. you cannot hold on to old thinking that the artist will recreate what was created before. it is the time of the new.

Davi: Hi, Kaka. I’m Davi and I like peanuts. My question is: How much do you want to hit Dunga in the face with a shovel right now?
Kaka: Oh, no — I would never do that, Davi! Why, uh, why would I want to hit him with a shovel? It’s unfortunate things didn’t work out better with Dunga, but he was a great manager and I’m sure he will have a lot of success in whatever he does next.

Leonardo: Hi, Kaka. My name is Leonardo and I’m 10. If you could push Dunga or Felipe Melo down the stairs and then set the building on fire and then laugh at their skeletons, which would you choose?
Kaka: Oh my. I — I wouldn’t do that to either of them. Laugh at their skeletons? That’s terrible. How, uh, how did you even think of that, Leonardo?

Best of luck Deebie for the A level run! Keep your head clear, and passionate!

The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
Until I wrap myself inside your arms I cannot rest
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hollow ground

for Edwin! your palette is diverse, and i thought i'd share this amazing piece of music with you. she's an English-born Pakistani, who can create incredible sounds and atmosphere. This track is a classic and i fell in love with it the first time i listened to it. critics have also hailed it as one of the greatest tracks of her career. haunting yet kinetic, i hope you'll like it! enjoy! =) Bat For Lashes - Daniel

EXAMS ARE OVERRR!!!

GO BRAZIL!!!!!!

(okay, and maybe portugal, but they better not win brazil at any time in this world cup. =))

i'm so happy, it's time for video dedications!

This is for Adeeb! trust you like the vibe of the music! fucking fantastic song that reminds me of Amy Winehouse, but a less frantic, more chillaxed one, with freaking good lyrics. Santigold - I'm A Lady
This is for Gabriel! more pretty girls with good music for you to stare at! Rai Knight - New New


This is for Kiron! atas title, still great music nonetheless by one of the nominees for Best Artist for the Mercury Prize last year! feels groovy and pulsating. I LOVE HIS MOVES, SEXY HIP SHAKING! Friendly Fires - Paris



if anyone feels bored and just wants something to their taste (that i think they'll be happy with, or just feeling adventurous), just tag and i'll have a song video recommendation up for you! =))))

there is no music.

when you truly love humankind, you accept everyone.

who are you accepting?

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

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.

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!
