Ever woken from dreaming to the sound of yourself weeping, your cheeks raw and stained with tears?  That sort of thing stays with you throughout the day and your clouded eyes can discern only death, despair, violence and heartache.  A grey day indeed.  A sparrow ripped from the trees by a rogue out of place hawk, feathers splay the ground like white blood.  In a final act of desperation, the

After a very long spell of hibernation and reflection, the last few weeks of non-stop energetic encounters have been an intoxicating trip.  So much fun but, and there's always a but, I have to wonder if I've stayed too long at the party.  Just like Pinocchio's Pleasure Island, I fear I'm inches away from turning into a gigantic ass. It's probably not a surprise that I'm fairly opinionated and

It feels forever since I sat before this screen and said, "Hello You."  I miss you. But, it's a quick post this morning as I bend over the keys in my bathrobe, hair still wet, teeth to be brushed, lunch to be made before I skedaddle out the door to the Babylon Tower. Much to come, so much to regale.  Link Fest.  Crush Update.  Quasi Life Lessons even.  And this too. You know I love The Veils.

Tonight on one of those nefarious social networking sites, someone posted the provocative, "Siouxsie and the Banshees vs. The Cure... GO!"  You can surely imagine this has spawned and will likely continue to spawn multiple responses.  This poster, hung by an ex of mine, graced the walls of our home for a long time.  We subsequently listened to one infinitely more than the other and without a

Murder.  Such a heavy and powerful word, but one used with such glib brevity, levity and regularity we [i.e. me] may have forgotten its actual meaning.  People die every day and their culprits are brought to justice [as if there is such an unbiased entity] and without batting an eyelash we think, "Yes, this proper.  This is true".  But now it's personal.  My family, our shame.

The universe has a seriously ironic sense of humor.  Here I've been worried about so many existential things, but tomorrow I find out if I actually have a job.  It's true,  I will or won't have a job come tomorrow.  Apparently, the universe is asking me to either laugh or what... 4-3-2-1....

So many people I know seem disgruntled with the start of this new year.  Maybe it's because with the start of anything new and fresh there is an expectation that things will change and magically become better than they were just a few days ago?  Death will always be.  Humans hurting other humans and other animals will also be.  People will fall in love and fall apart.  Abstracts, existentials

Tonight chats, so many beautiful thoughts.  About music and its ephemeral relativity, existence, belief, religion, our meaning to those things, our niche in the world, yoga and its most significant influence on journeys physical and otherwise.  So epic and grand, my attempts at summary now would be laughable.  Dear void, you calm me.  But there is something else...

Tackle one addiction at a time kids.  At least that's what the powers that be always say.  Typically I subscribe more to the All Or Nothing school of thought.  Hence why breaking habits and more so, addictions, perpetually alludes me.  That and I'm also one stubborn rebellious bitch who revels in hedonism.  On an otherwise dull uneventful evening, it's also fun to play the What Can You

Today my boss spelled my name right for the first time, ever.  I bought a new candle and incense to make my home smell woodsy and warm because your home says a lot about you, apparently.  If we're telling the truth, I bought these smelloids to cover up the cigarette smoke that inevitably fogs my abode while I write these posts.  I've gone through four can openers and three wine openers this year.

Parts of this song/video remind me of the opening credits of Hawaii Five-O [the original of course].  It also inspired me to play a little word game.  How many words beginning with F can I churn out before the end of the song?

Tonight a coworker interrupted my librarian state letting me know she was bored and was curious about what I've been up to during our mini holiday vacation.  Who am I to blame her?  Four days from an addiction is difficult, in this case it is her addiction, the law, the rat race, the Babylon Tower.  I answered honestly, "Librarian loopy - reading and listening to classical music."  Which is what

Being told to give thanks.... Groans.  Being told to do anything sets my mind and tongue on fire.   It seems to be on everyone's agenda in my world... say thanks, love the people around you, count your blessings etc etc etc.  I'm not ungrateful, but come on!  To say I have an authority complex might be putting it mildly; unless that authority is willing to play, banter and misbehave in a way that

I had a completely different post planned for you tonight.    It was long and earnest, so poetic and epically dark.  You didn't want to read it anyway.  Instead this is the other song that keeps banging, banging, BANGING in my head.  It's viral.   Hungry... lap it up... lap it up! Did you hug your clown today? Look!  They're pointing and laughing.  The seal is blushing, he's remembering when

I blame winter which is ironic in my little neck of the woods since we don't really experience winter.  I blame winter in theory then.  I'm obsessed.  Obsessed with ravenous feasting on black and white photography, reading Just Kids by Patti Smith, daydreaming of cold cloudy climes and almost tantrically resonating with ideas for my winter mixed cd. Lately dreams of deserted beaches,

In this age of disbelief, cynicism and insincerity I wonder if anyone truly believes in soul mates anymore.  I don't really know the answer to this question [though I have my suspicions] but I'm curious.  This last weekend I met, if not my soul mate, than at the very least a most kindred spirit.  This encounter either fundamentally changed me or reinforced a forgotten belief in connection's

We Were Promised Jetpacks - Act on Impulse I can't sleep.  If only I were a patient person.  This is no big deal brain.  Get a clue, a grip or a xanax.  There is something looming; big for me.  Something I want so desperately I almost can't breathe.  I'm scared, because if I want it, then it won't come true.  Superstitious flower to a fault, until I can hold it in my hands, taste it in my mouth.

Misguided trusting souls beware!  There are posers and practitioners of facile kindness everywhere and somewhere along the way I put down my rabble rousing racket card.  Now when confronted, I stare blindly with docile fawn eyes.  Staring incomprehension in the face,  pierced by those blazing headlights I confront my deaths head on.  From the ashes, we reap the benefits.

I'm so inspired by Alpine's video Villages - the make-up, the imagery, the dresses.  Mmmm This remix of Ice and Arrows by Dark Sky is one for fans of electro [not metal] Moby.  Odd that I like it, it seems it would be more at home in a glossy magazine shoot. I could [and most definitely will] quickly tire of the music but the imagery of all their videos is so ephemerally lovely and perfect

Metal fills the crevices in my teeth. Sometimes I taste it like the iron you taste in your own blood. Fine metal frames hold lenses in front of my eyes. Wire loops through each earlobe, bangles one wrist.On the other a silver watch ticks away each precious metal day. I have kept one gold band on my finger for so many years.When I’m old if I’m lucky, I’ll wear a sleek steel ball cuffed in

The Raveonettes - War In Heaven Judgment is a useless exercise and this blog isn't about politics or prejudicial rants.  But, when faced with blunt force idiocy at work today, it's hard not to feel compelled to speak out, especially when it's about my favorite subject.  Love.   Heaven and the world benefit from so many loving same-sex, transgendered and mixed families coming together to love

Heart-thumping, thump, thump, thump... who says the 1930s weren't happening?  Kertesz's distorted nudes say otherwise.  Feminists back off, let's not hear any nonsense about objectification, disrespect, misogyny or disarticulation.  In my eyes, this is a celebration of beauty, love in spite of [or because of] distortion/flaws, incredible technique and the joy of mirrors.  Inspired is a limp

Felt has made its way into the interwebs, quite suddenly again.  Is this a Felt revivial??  You'll hear no complaints from me or Stuart Murdoch, I'm guessing.  And let's be honest, anything featuring Elizabeth Fraser I'm guaranteed to love.  Again faced with choosing a minimal aural taste, indecision reigns.  Especially when trying to choose just one track from the very reverent mostly

Why this is playing on a loop in my brain today is a mystery.  Is it the relentless loops and pithy crackling samples?  The heroin model chic we've never ever seen before?  Who knows?  Never question postmodernism.  This and David Cassidy... repeats repeats... wonder what a smash up would sound like?  Pray for me kids, if I wake up with these catchy tunes stuck in my head in the morning I might

Kate MacDowell's work is gorgeous.  If anything makes my hands itch to mold clay again these handbuilt pieces are definitely doing the trick.

Earlier tonight my internet was down, meaning no internet or cable television.  Down because my landlord is in either prison or a mental hospital - no one actually knows. He's a bit a of a nut.  My friend who works for the court system told me he came before her judge.   Oh shit, I don't know what to say. This evening, forced into First World Exile, I tried to amuse myself with watching my copy

The Twilight Singers - Live With Me This is a great cover and I included the Massive Attack version on a recent marriage mix I made.  Along with 50 decades of amazing artists, like Otis Redding, The Doors, Japandroids, Le Cansei de Ser Sexy, The Cure, The Magnetic Fields, David Cassidy, T.

Olofsson was so inspired by the banned Scorpions 1976 cover for Virgin Killer, in 2011, with the original photographer Michael Von Gimut, she re-enacted the shoot with herself as the model/virgin.  She is such a badass, I can only hope to be that comfortable with myself at the age of 45.  See the film re-enactment, A Demon's Desire, and other fantastic gems here.  But it is her piece, "Say

It's no secret, patience and waiting aren't really talents of mine.  Oh sure I talk a good game about "biding my time and when it's right, it's right" but that's a bunch of political crap.  Totally governed by, what's it called?  The Pleasure Principle, which by the way, sounds like a title by Dr. Ruth or those people who wrote The Joy of Sex and More Joy of Sex.  [Have you ever seen the

Stop the presses! I can't feel the tips of my fingers and my mind is spinning, I'm so excited - my most favorite music crush Finn Vine of White Rose Movement has a new incarnation, Genuflex.  Described by an undocumented source as “Scott Walker singing through a Cocteau wash of Bowie era Berlin” the new tunes are less synth-pop-beat driven than WRM's earlier work but no less haunting and

I've no idea how I came across Blueboy, but they're beyond lovely.  Sneaking intuition they were from a certain Glaswegian.   Lately, the music on this blog has been a bit on the wet side.  I know!!  Promise very soon, I'll break out of my soft emotional shell... Promise!

A lovely gem made by Mr. Johan Angergård and the lovely folks that always make it happen. The title of this post comes from this song.

It bums me out that this video is missing the last 2 minutes of the studio version, a beautifully mournful instrumental dénouement. So if you're unfamiliar, education is divine. At the 4 minute mark the mood morphs into a swirling oceanic eddy and is my favorite bit of music on the entire album, so much so I wish it were an entire epic song in its own right.

This is what happens when you go to bed with the chickens, the 3 am witchy hour calls and won't leave a voicemail.  Here's to all you night-owl vampires, sink your teeth into this. This Scarlet Train is a 3 piece hailing from the misty land of Falkirk, Scotland.  Only together for a year between 1986-1987, Fimbria was their only release.  Which really is a shame, it's dreamy soft stuffs

I harbor a deep rooted desire to play the cello harking all the way back to the heady days of R.E.M, Bjork and a slew of others when the orchestra director said, "We are full.  There's no room at the Inn."  Left to birth my musical Jesus elsewhere I settled disinterested and desultory into the life of a band nerd.  Obviously, I never really felt much for my band instrument, it was more of a cheap

Enthralling aren't they?  So many complex themes like Eros, loss, psychological disarticulation and the yearning we all have to know our shadow selves.  All of the above come from his works executed between 1991-2004 which are my personal favorites.

I have more than a crush on Lykke Li - she's a kindred spirit.   Damn, I mean Dah-Amn [as in a double-syllable damn] because her lyrics slay.  It's a strange thing when you find an artist who writes lyrics that so closely match your own paltry journal entries. Lykke Li - Silent My Song She's already on my regular rotation but it's likely she'll be mentioned a lot lately in the next few months
