oh david...

david explains what it was that made him notice keith for the first time. i wonder what people notice first about others:

a) "first impressions never last" according to Bernard Fanning in 'Wish You Well'

b) "you never a second chance at a first impression" - true

c) i know that i am an extremely judgmental person, therefore first impressions are definitely something important

Drink Up

'Enivrez-Vous'

Il faut être toujours ivre.
Tout est là:
c'est l'unique question.
Pour ne pas sentir
l'horrible fardeau du Temps
qui brise vos épaules
et vous penche vers la terre,
il faut vous enivrer sans trêve.
Mais de quoi?
De vin, de poésie, ou de vertu, à votre guise.
Mais enivrez-vous.
Et si quelquefois,
sur les marches d'un palais,
sur l'herbe verte d'un fossé,
dans la solitude morne de votre chambre,
vous vous réveillez,
l'ivresse déjà diminuée ou disparue,
demandez au vent,
à la vague,
à l'étoile,
à l'oiseau,
à l'horloge,
à tout ce qui fuit,
à tout ce qui gémit,
à tout ce qui roule,
à tout ce qui chante,
à tout ce qui parle,
demandez quelle heure il est;
et le vent,
la vague,
l'étoile,
l'oiseau,
l'horloge,
vous répondront:
"Il est l'heure de s'enivrer!
Pour n'être pas les esclaves martyrisés du Temps,
enivrez-vous;
enivrez-vous sans cesse!
De vin, de poésie ou de vertu, à votre guise."

Charles Baudelaire

Warum, wieso, weshalb?

it's raining. lots and lots, it's very refreshing. the sounds of shafran and his vibrato are particularly comforting today.



sent in my YA essay plan. i wrote 3000 words in german. unglaublich.

Range Life

not my video: mine was taking too long to upload :(


after the glow, the scene, the stage, the set
talk becomes slow but there's one thing i'll never forget:
hey, you gotta pay your dues before you pay the rent.
over the turnstile out into the traffic
there's ways of living it's the way i'm living
right or wrong, it's all that i can do,
and i wouldn't want to let you be

i want a range life, if i could settle down,
if i could settle down, then i would settle down

oh pavement. listening to pavement on record for the past few years, i had always assumed that although i loved their music, they were not the greatest musicians. the greatest of the great, they are most certainly not, but they are tighter, more in tune and in time than i would have expected.
they played 28 songs, so i definitely got my money's worth standing in the front row directly under the gaze of Spiral Stairs, Mr. Malkmus and Mark Ibold. they did not, however, play one of my favourites: 'Zurich is Stained'. steve malkmus entertained the crowd by dancing around in a rather bizarre fashion, throwing his pick into the audience and managing to offend the audience by saying "Vienna? What the fuck." and then continuing by telling us about his hot Hungarian grandmother.

Alexander McQueen

I splashed out and bought another McQueen scarf. It goes well with exactly the same one I have - black skulls on white/white skulls on black. Now I just need the shoes and the T-Shirt. Incidentally, they are both on sale at yoox.com. so tempted, but really should not give in.

All patterns were cut on the stand by Lee Alexander McQueen.

Each piece is unique, as was he. [www.alexandermcqueen.com]
