Abe Vigoda on a sunny day



Trinity in the sun.

Happy day.

(Take me home) I know I want it!

It's barely credible that the same band produced this cover:

without you...


I should be working, but this is just too gorgeous to wait.

In a surrealist mood.
Play Exquisite Corpse! It's more fun than the name suggests.

15, she's under age, that's raw


Dizzee appearing on a one-off Shooting Stars episode a little while back was incredibly embarrassing. Man of his intelligence and perception shouldn't be making a fool of hisself. That said, I would have enjoyed him performing this with George Dawes doing Shystie's part:

I Luv U

(that picture just gets more and more disturbing)

Just Like Yesterday


This time, the house isn't yellow, in fact the wood isn't painted. Early in the morning, very little light penetrates the branches, throwing soft shapes on the floor. No matter how convincing and comforting you may sound, Ed, the truth is there in the title: Two Weeks. And that's all we have. Until next year.

What I love about this song, though, is that, despite being a heterosexual male, from the very first second I feel like Ed Droste is my lover, and I love him more for trying to reassure me, even though we both know there's no point. If I feel lazy, I can just sink into his voice.

Man


Been a while, yes?


Ever mind the Rule of Three
Three times what thou givest returns to thee
This lesson well, thou must learn
Thee only gets what thou dost


I joy, that in these straits I see my west;
For though those currents yield return to none,
What shall my west hurt me? As west and east
In all flat maps - and I am one - are one,
So death doth touch the resurrection.
John Donne, 'Hymne to God my God, in my Sickness


I could listen to this beat loop for hours and hours. But then that's the point - silence.

"Did you know when I wanted?"
(from Third)
