YOU ARE HERE

Work

I spoke too soon. Suddenly, it started raining tonight. But, light Summer rain makes everything so.. sweet and tingly.. Like a walk home (without an umbrella ella ee ee ee) while listening to Can..

Can - Sing Swan Song

IT'S ALL IN YOUR MIND

THEY LIVE

Today, the weather is hot after quite a long autumnlike period. It's not cloudy, it's not rainy, it actually looks like a proper mid-summer Sunday. Maybe that's why I'm having trouble gathering my thoughts. I think they are evaporating. The music is not helping either. It's not helping me to think, that is. Because it sure helps to dream, to relax and to enjoy this oxygen sucking yet wonderful summer afternoon in the city. Pixies, Daft Punk, Sebastien Tellier, Etienne Daho, Goldfrapp, Roisin Murphy...and now I'm sitting here trying desperately to write proper sentences while words and thoughts keep fading away.

Today, it's time for part 2 of TBT 80's movies tribute. Did you miss part 1? Overall, this is going to be a loong long tribute with many many parts 1)because there are so many excellent 80's films and 2)I am such an 80's movie buff. So, here we go!

ANGEL

mezzanine

If somebody asked me what is my favorite Massive Attack album, I would say without any hesitation "Mezzanine". "Blue Lines" and "Protection" have always stolen "Mezzanine"'s thunder but this album is truly a remarkable piece of work. It's dark and creepy in a perfectly subtle way.

I felt a huge urge this last couple of weeks to listen to this album again. Maybe it's because I am (finally) listening to the new Portishead album (expect a relevant post really soon) and I started to reminisce about the days I was listening frantically to these bands.

I love all four singles that came out of this album: "Risingson", "Teardrop", "Angel" and "Inertia Creeps". But, "Angel" ..... is my favorite one.

I DON'T SLEEP, I DREAM

PAC MAN

Due to peculiar sleeping schedules, thoughts are coming as bullet points.. Sooo:

1) WEEDS is back. Thankfully this new season looks better than the last one (that horrible horrible Season 3 of disgustingness and awfulness) but this show is obviously never returning to the glory days of Season 1. Meh.

2) I've been watching BSG's season 1. It was 4 years ago but everyone looks so much younger! Apart from this weirding me out, they are the coolest cast ever!

3) I want to start watching THE WIRE but I am constantly postponing it. It's been such a long time since I watched a police drama (and also I have watched SO MANY police dramaz) that I don't know if I really want to go through 4 seasons of drugs/cops/guns again.. But, I'll give it a try. Too many people say it's worth it.

4) I am reading Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse 5" and I don't know if I like it yet. The next book in line is David Sedaris's "Me Talk Pretty One Day" and honestly ICAN'TWAIT.

5) No more technical problems! All Mixes in the Mixtapes section are once again available for online streaming.

6) I watched "Muriel's Wedding" again. What a film!

7) Is it autumn, yet?

TRAINS, BOATS AND PLANES

FLOAT


"Tree cracked and mountain cried
Bridges broke, window sighed
Cells grew up and rivers burst
Sound obscured and sense reversed".


Brand New Mixtape..!
