I go both ways

of Montreal was really good, pity they didn’t play Plastis Wafers
Ok anyway, I intend to do some mix CDs soon. If you’d like one, just drop me an email with your residential address and I’ll mail you one once I’m done! It’ll probably consist of tracks I’m currently digging, so I doubt I’m sticking to [...]

Playlist

Music to accompany you through late nights…
If you have the time/are bothered, listen to this mix
-
You spread your rusty fingers across the ledge
You get your grip and peer down over the edge
You watch the city move and breathe and migrate
You’re not apart of it. You’re broken now, like us
You sit down slow and watch yourself [...]


Seems like the roads stretch out like veins, but there’s no heart
Nature’s haircut is concrete now, and we played our part
So we sing
I’ve lost my taste for modern things. They’re not for me
I want mundane: a quiet place, where time is free,
And I can sing
Climbed from my bed, to collect the thoughts that’d fallen from [...]


Maybe this time / Don’t turn your head / it’s easy to forget how we were / Once inside / We’ve made it here / We struggle with the lights / They never go away / What have we learned / It’s the same old things / That drive us here / And never go [...]


I was searching for some legal document
As the rain beat down on the hood
When i stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget
And that’s how this idea was drilled into my head

There’s no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it’s gone it’s like it [...]


the cities we passed were a flickering wasteland
but his hand in my hand made them hale and harmless
while down in the lowlands the crops are all coming;
we have everything
life is thundering blissful towards death
in a stampede of his fumbling green gentleness


Leaving isn’t quite the same, he said to me, as running away
If you’re scared or tired of what you’re scared of
Well, why should you stay?
He loved to say goodbye, and always counted out the time
Until he was free, to get up and leave
To learn how to breathe, again
Slipping out to have a cigarette with someone [...]


How I know your face, all the ways you move, you come in, I can read you
You’re my favourite book
All the things you say, the way you shift your eyes
I never knew there was someone, to make me come alive


Hmmm. 2008 was like any other year, made new friends and lost some old ones, bought some new clothes and sold some off, gained some weight and lost some, read new books and forgot old stories, subscribed to new magazines and chucked the old ones away, fell sick but became well eventually, gained a love [...]
