About Me

Ranting and raving. And lots of youtubing.

"Damn Good Coffee!"

So, I began watching Twin Peaks. If you haven't heard of it, it's a melodrama/dark comedy about the murder of a homecoming queen in the small town of Twin Peaks. It was released in 1990, and it's director David Lynch, is somewhat of a weird-genius.

Anyway.

The show is absolutely fucking awesome. I recommend it. It's funny, scary, enjoyable, weird and wonderful. It's so bizarre. The protagonist Dale Cooper is played by Kyle McLachlan, more recently known for playing Trey MacDougall in Sex and the City. I hated him in that, and I delayed watching the show for ages because I thought I hated him. He's amazing. His character is the most bizarre TV character I have probably ever seen.
WATCH THIS SHOW!


On a different note. Killer track.

"If you want to be entertained, go and see Hanson." Thom Yorke.

You would assume that a Jacques Greene-Radiohead mix/remix would be good, but this is unprecedented. Such a tune. Radiohead, as anyone who knows the first thing about me, is my number one, always. I think that they are the closest thing to flawless since ... well... ever? And my tune for this year on the electronic circuit is Jacques Greene - Another Girl. So when I was told about this remix, I was pretty amped. It's ridiculous.

Love and stuff.

Anarchy

There's anarchy in the UK. Sex Pistols said it first.



It's fucking gnarly.


"A true friend stabs you in the front...." Oscar Wilde

I haven't posted for a while; this is for a number of reasons:
1) lazy
2) uni (a little)
3) the flu
4) Splendour
5) lack of inspiration

Splendour was a great weekend. The highlights were Kanye, Thievery Corporation, James Blake DJ set and Coldplay..... and finally seeing Modest Mouse was a real blessing.

This is a post of songs, clips... images. It's the entry back into blogging.


This D'Angelo - Untitled. I am normally not really a die-hard fan of this rnb genre. But this song is probably one of the most sexy songs ever. It's quite beautiful.



This next track is an old personal favourite. It's by Handsome Boy Modelling School. This track is called "The Truth", it's got a cool vibe to it, her voice is silky.




This next song is self-explainable. A loss of a voice.



I'm a closet Coldplay fan. I was super excited to see them live. Chris Martin is one of the most enigmatic front men I have had the pleasure and privelege of experiencing. They played so much off Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head, which are primarily the only two albums of which I listen to tracks off... in my secluded room... alone... However, Everything's Not Lost is a wonderful, beautiful song... and I'm happy to have seen/witnessed it. His short-emotional tribute to Amy Winehouse at the close of their set was a memorable experience, one of those rare "festival moments" that you hope to remember.





I have wanted to see Modest Mouse for a long time. They were incredible. Everyone who I was with was so chilled out and I was running around having a blast. It probably annoyed them, but I was just so excited to be there.

This track is called Edit the Sad Parts
It's old, and they didn't play it. But I want to share it.





Peace and love and energy.
