I’ve decided to start posting on this again, it’s been a long time. I want to show you this video clip for ‘Cutting Ice To Snow’ by Efterklang. Lots of it is taken from a documentary called ‘In A Dream’ about this artist Isaiah Zagar. I’ve been meaning to see it for ages now, it looks really good. The soundtrack sounds pretty amazing as well, Bibio, Efterklang and Explosions In The Sky are on it. Anyway, over the past forty or so years the artist Isaiah has covered this area in Philadelphia known as ‘The Magic Gardens’ in mosaic murals. I have have have to go one day, I’m making it one of my ‘to do’s’ before I die.

I can hear my little brothers directly above me in the living room. They are jumping around. They will break through the floor and fall through the roof one day.

The melody haunts my reverie

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Pretty, pretty, pretty good

The first list

Here is my list of things I don’t really understand and probably never will:
- WWE wrestling
- Where all my bobby pins go
- Men that choose to sport ridiculous comb-overs and toupés
- Where flies and birds go at night
- Religion
- Country music
- Hugh Hefner

Please don’t flow so fast

“Things that are too ‘useful’… well, I don’t entirely trust them. I kind of like useless things. For instance– and this is a pretty facile and simplified metaphor here– art is useless, and nazis made lots of useful things. I like dumb meandering things that make me happy and confused, and don’t particularly like ‘effective marketing tools designed for maximum accurate data capture’ blah blah blah. It all sounds so sad and functional. I don’t like the idea of people sitting in a room talking about the best way to word things to get the right reaction from a base of ‘users’ etc. I don’t like thinking that those people used to love to do something, or wanted to be something, and would up measuring the best way to manipulate other people.” – James Murphy
