nothing will be the same

listen: bjork :: headphones [post, 1995]

genius to fall asleep to your tape last night
sounds go through the muscles
these abstract wordless movements
they start off cells that haven’t
been touched before
these cells are virgins

my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
it lulled me to sleep
nothing will be the same
i’m fast asleep

i like this resonance
it elevates me
i don’t recognize myself
this is very interesting

how to get rid of toxic people

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Listen :: Massive Attack – Paradise Circus (Gui Boratto Remix)

One of the most difficult things in life is to realize that you don’t have anybody but yourself in this world.  Toxic family and friends will need to come and go… but who you remain to your own heart is the only thing that you can’t give up on.  If you are lucky though, it will be easy to realize that this feeling can come on quite strongly, and may honestly be able to decide who is best to keep in your world.  In order to hold on, it’s best to remember a few things:

1.  Don’t ever keep someone in your life that abuses you in any shape or form of physical, mental or verbal altercations.  Once is too much, twice and it begins to happen again, three times and you begin to forget who you are.  It’s too easy and too disastrous of all toxic situations.

2.  Forget it if they are an old friend, you’ll find another.  However when it comes to family members, your own precious blood, that becomes even more trickier.  To let go or not to let go?  The question should only linger a moment until a reason enlightens to why they are not worth it.  Keep with it, you’ll eventually learn to see why you’re seeing this light in the first place.

3.  Most importantly, if letting go of a toxic person in your life frightens you, first test out your boundaries to see if things can be worked out amicably.  Usually a toxic person will not understand where you are coming from as a true friend or family member will fight to the death to save your relationship.  When this happens, it is important to learn that it is really their loss as you let go of them, and to know that you’re a stronger and better person for moving on in the long run.

singer island, florida.

Friday, January 29th, 2010

singer island has become my secret and favorite location

a place covered in blue, with luxury condos all along the atlantic shore

known as the beautiful beach pictured on every floridian postcard

most of the balconies overlook right inside the ocean

it’s almost as if your sleeping with the sea

this is where i’m landing

my perfect fantasy

Thoughts for Tonight: Dizzee Rascal

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

up-dizzee_4

Throughout his career he has been heralded as a national treasure, he’s the single most successful person to bring grime to the mainstream, and last November 4th, famously featured on the BBC’s, news and politics, roundup and discussion show, Newsnight. Dylan Mills a.k.a. Dizzee Rascal deserved his unprecedented success for Showtime, and for debut Boy in da Corner; having been expelled from four schools as a teenager, and only ever succeeding in music. All the best musical stories follow similar paths.

Somewhere since Dizzee’s 2003 debut however, tales of his childhood, teenage angst, and the music that transcended his upbriging, disappeared. In its place, 2009 brought a money and society-obsessed, glitz and glamour to most recent LP Tongue ‘n’ Cheek. The album is a rather embarrassing collection of throwaway experiments, with the album’s only highlight Bonkers, paving the way for a new genre of electro-hop, coming soon to a radio station near you.

It is a shame that the transition happened, but as with any artist who sings about a working class, deprived, or disheartened upbringing (or possibly all three), there is bound to be a writing slump, should the artist find success. The test of a good artist or band, is how this is dealt with; how the mainstream, wealth, and fame, affect your future songs. Rascal’s Tongue N’ Cheek is a disappointing exercise in this case.

His recent performance at the BBC Electric Proms, however, was quite the contrary to his summer’s releases. Fully orchestrated, backed by a band, and the legendary Guthrie Govan, Dizzee Rascal stormed through a set that fused hiphop and grime, with country, jazz, and rock ‘n’ roll. The performances’ are mindblowing, and begs the question of what’s next for Dizzee Rascal?

bjork :: so broken

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

One of the saddest and greatest Bjork songs ever.

i’m so… completely unhealable, baby

“I recorded ‘So Broken’ that infamous week for me, the week of the bomb. The only way for me to write a song about it was just to take the piss. I wrote it in my house hitting the table singing, ‘I’m so broken (in corny, overwrought voice), olé!’ I was going to have the sound of washing dishes and three kids screaming; it would be a soap opera. Then I went to the studio in Spain and met the flamenco guitarist who plays on the track and stayed there for six months recording.”

MP3 :: Bjork & Raimundo Amador – So Broken
