bittersweet distracter

I'm listening to this on repeat. The Twelves + Radiohead = better than sex and warm cookies and other awesome stuff.



Reckoner (The Twelves Remix) - Radiohead

Reckoner
You can't take it with you
Dancing for your pleasure

You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distracter
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all human beings

Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore
Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore

Reckoner
Take me with you
Dedicated to all human beings

In the winter sun

I wish I could get these lyrics better sorted out. There are many errors with the version being copy/pasted on lyrics sites. Anyway, I really dig this. Aeroplane does some dope remixes. Oh, and Neon Gold has it as a free promotional download so get it while it's hot.



The Piper's Song (Aeroplane Remix) - Gypsy & The Cat

sunset reflection, originally uploaded by paranormal eyes.

In the night see a face that's in the dark
Through his eyes I see a light shining gold
And this man, he walks alone singing songs of victory
When he sleeps, there’s a struggle and the light begins to fade

Heaven tells the past all he had was love and fear
He was stronger then; all he had was love and pain
Then one day he found a stroke, evil tears run down his face
Another change good to bad, good to bad

Where to run? Are you there? Are you there?
In the winter sun, he’s dancing in the wind
Where to run? Are you there? Are you there?
In the wilderness, look and you will find him

A mother weeps, a child sleeps their broken heart
A bleeding wine, just passing time, their horror shows
They’re at his grave at valor creek, the place where he began to see
The evil tide that ___s(?) of him of the good that stood within

Heaven tells the past all he had was love and fear
He was stronger then; all he had was love and pain
Then one day he found a stroke, evil tears run down his face
Another change good to bad, good to bad

Where to run? Are you there? Are you there?
In the winter sun, he’s dancing in the wind
Where to run? Are you there? Are you there?
In the wilderness, look and you will find him

Tonight, tonight we'll sing the piper's song

All I can say is this feeling is the best that I have known

Sleepless City - PUNCHES

We're all alone in this sleepless city
I mean, I was 'til I found you
Things have changed since you've been with me
Cause night by night we make it through (Yeah)

I was lost in this sleepless city
I mean, I was 'til I found you
Y'know things have changed sinve you've been with me
Cause night by night we know what to do

I feel alive before the sunrise
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Maybe tonight we won't say goodbye
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Stay with me, Stay with me
Stay with me, Stay with me

We're all alone in this sleepless city
I mean, I was 'til I found you
Some things have changed since you've been with me
Cause night by night we make it through

I feel alive before the sunrise
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Maybe tonight we won't say goodbye
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Stay with me, Stay with me
Stay with me, Stay with me

I know a change is coming
But I'm not gonna do it alone
And I know these streets are lonely
But they're the streets that I call home
When I came here tonight
I told myself this must be better than sleeping alone
All I can say is this feeling
Is the best that I have known

I feel alive before the sunrise
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Maybe tonight we won't say goodbye
In my sleepless city, in my sleepless city
Stay with me, Stay with me
Stay with me, Stay with me
Stay with me, Stay with me
Stay with me, Stay with me

Freedom is running, originally uploaded by francescadistefano.

What is she covering up?
What is she lying about?
Uh-oh she's hesitating
And she's using slow words, I know
But she's moving fast
Why is this happening now?
Why does this happen to me
All the time?

Don't give up on me
And I won't give up on you

night scene, originally uploaded by eminyuksel.

Squeeze me 'til I can't breathe
And let's just lie here in oblivion
Cause neither one of us
Can know how long this love will last
So stay up in bed with me
Stay up and play with me
All day and night

Don't give up on me
And I won't give up on you
I cannot wait for the baby
Love me, girl

(Nothing is wrong, what are you scared of?)
(Nothing is wrong, what are you scared of?)
Nothing is wrong, what are you scared of?
(Nothing is wrong, what are you scared of?)
Love me, love me, love me (repeated)
(Nothing is wrong, what are you scared of?)

散歩道（Stroll road）＃２, originally uploaded by suetrawberry.

there's never enough hours in a day

to do both the things I need to do and the things I love. I did manage to break my 14 month darkroom dry spell somewhat although it has yet to feel cathartic. I'm only 4 prints in (only one of which i don't want to completely reprint) so I'm sure relief will come soon. I'm itching to produce everything and be able to visually narrate the past year. It was a fun ride =D





aaand because all memories have music:

(not as good as the yes giantess remix but I couldnt find it on youtube or anything. click here for a free legal download thanks to their record label, neon gold )




(yep i took these)

slipping past, you won't see me

Funny, I was just listening to this and wondering if I'd ever posted it. Turns out I did, exactly a year ago. Amazing how many things in life are cyclical. It's like pieces of me are trapped in an Escher.
see the original post with lyrics here

p.s. I topped 4,000 views the other day thanks to some facebook friend of mine clicking over from Dallas. If you reveal yourself, I'll send you a mix cd!

life in the future is blissfully kind

Yeah, everyone I know is losing their minds
Yeah, but everyone I know has a really good time



Trepanation Party - Voxtrot

Lie to me and say you love me
Do it for your sister, honey
Turn me out through leaves of plastic
Seven hours down
Every day I'm late for dinner
Monday night I'm ten pounds thinner
Rollin' through the door with modern
Looking deadly

Girls who love me
Girls who hate me
Girls who never really rate me
Come on out and celebrate me

The great erotic garbage every
Women feeds us starves to death
Staring through the kitchen window
Laughin' at me

All of the time
All of the time
All of the time

Lucy said she used to be
Like me, but now she's doing fine
Mornings at the local bath and some days the road
If you get sad and you get lonely
Call me up, I'll always love you
I'll be there to hold you
When you're seeing double

'Cause you're my friend
'Cause you're my friend

Yeah, everyone i know is losing their minds
Yeah, but everyone i know has a really good time
Drilling holes in my head
Ah, you will never go blind
I will always be the outlaw for your love

One day you will come across
Who you were, and what you lost
One day you will see with me, simple truths about
Simple times and simple taste will drag you out and make you wait
For drums of life are calling anxious

Every beat of every drum
Is telling you, not everyone
As one described, we are man's son
And you just can't see it

Something envied
Something green
Something that you took from me
Dreams of love and growing young

But life in the future is blissfully kind
We've got so many questions, left with so little time
Drilling holes in my head
Ah, you will never go blind
I will always be the outlaw for your love

Yeah, well everyone i know is losing their minds
Yeah, but everyone i know has a good time
Drilling holes in my head
Ah, you will never go blind
I will always be the outlaw for your love

How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be

How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be

Yeah, how does it feel to be
How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be

How does it feel to be
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful
One of the beautiful people?

i was gathered like a washed-up lobster

I really dig this song! I can't believe it's been out for 11 months and still only 1,264 people on last.fm listen to it. I'm the first to try to write up the lyrics so there are def some errors. I tried all my tricks for filling in the blanks and fell short but i'd rather post 95% of the lyrics than not post the song at all... please add corrections if/when you can =)

Whizz Kid - The Amplifetes

i was a low-down, drained-out ruckster
without a mission
she picked me up outside the doctor's
she was a vision
she took me on a trip in her Bugatti
on to the cabin
it was a first-class ride but oh, then
____(?)

Easy Rider, Kafka, Kubrick

the sound goes off at random
you're talking like a whizz kid
what you're wrong about i can't spell
keep walking little whizz kid

well i was gathered like a washed-up lobster
pulled the ocean
she was a ___(?) roller-coaster
without the motion

Rolling Stones, Bukowski, gremlins

the sound goes off at random

Come In Please - Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes

Once upon a time I was the hurricane boy
There was no eye in me for you to hide
Head low don’t show oceans in my eyes
As the waves clap goodbye to sorrow

Daddy’s on the mountain yellin at the bloody sky
Mama’s in the mirror actin out another life
Children in the schoolyard singin ‘everybody dies’
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin sentimental lies

Hopped up on a gypsy train with tracks that you can hide
That way no storm could follow our tomorrows
But Shackled to a suitcase full of automatic thunder
CLAP!
All hail to death’s boy-wonder

JJ’s in the kitchen talking bout the end of times
Mo’s thowin Kerouac to Catch Her In the Rye
Tempermental yogis bakin merryweather pie
And I am on the corner with a sentimental eye
I am on the corner singin sentimental lies

Sometimes said it’s suntime
Let it sunshine on my mind

All the same its conscience waiting
Cross the line

Last night I dreamed myself upon a golden glade
The clouds passed in and out of my reflection
And everyone I’ve known held my hands till they were clay
And the storm finally bled from my complexion

Now Jadey’s on the mountain singing ‘We will never die’
The band is in the rainbow playin love for you and I
Heath is riding shotgun aimin at the paper sky
And I am only ‘I am’ now I’ve opened up my eye
I am only ‘I am’ that I’ve opened up my eye

Sometimes said its suntime
Let it sunshine on my mind
Healing I need healing
A good feeling I can shine
Feel it like you can see it
Like you can dream it in your mind
Sunny Hallelujah comin to ya
Rain or shine

All the same its Conscience waiting
Cross the line
