nicolas jaar "bluewave edits" ep



beautiful. described as "minimal techno." missy elliott's "work it" is slowed down, stripped down and date rape drugged. early 2000's commercial hip hop reminds me of the pink velour track suit i used to wear all the time during my freshmen year of college. jennifer lopez and ja rule. i appreciate this chance to enjoy missy elliott again. minimal techno... i guess that is referring to the general sparseness. released by wolf + lamb.

songs are

1. "work it" (missy elliott)
2. "hey boy" (the blow)
3. "what my last girl put me through" (mike and the sensations).

grimes "oblivion"

grimessexy and off-kilter. grimes is a montreal artist named claire boucher. this song, 'oblivion,' is from the album 'visions.'

off-kilter is a good word. it reminds me of something my friend ethan young told me once: "artistic style and personality are the results of flaws."

like: gang gang dance

ema (formerly gowns) 'marked'

these drugs they are making me so sad




my arms, they are a see-through plastic
arms are a secret bloodless skinless mess
my arms, they are a see-through plastic
they are a bloodless plastic, skinless plastic
my arms, they are a see-through plastic
they are plastic

don't you know that i will never hurt you
you're such a pretty thing

i know i wish sometimes just so i could explain things, explain things
i wish that every time he touched me left a mark
i wish that every time he touched me left a mark
i wish that every time he touched me left a mark
i wish that every time he touched me left a mark

i fell down in the dark
won't you start again from way back
i almost threw up on the spot
when you showed up in that spot
i almost threw up on the spot
i want just to get out, get out

i wish i had another hope to get it out
these drugs they are making me so sad
i can't stop, wanna take him with me

this night is making me so sad
if there was a way to get it out, i wanna get it out
if there was a way to get it out, i wanna get it out

sound of arrows 'wonders,' kinda sounds like 'lazy eye.'

weird, this trance song by the sound of arrows reminds me of that silversun pickups song 'lazy eye.'

crystal castles x robert smith (the cure) NOT IN LOVE

jesus.

2:14 am

it is 2:14 am.
i want a drink.
we got nuthin in the house
ive been sober, i don't want to be
you call me on the phone

i want you to talk to me
you say
were you sleeping
when you call you are three shots in
i need something
it is heavy on me
i am 26 and have nothing
i will be 36 and have nothing
i want sweaty hair and no fat,
coddled, harsh a so close hold
it is 2:19 you are sleeping
you are really far away
to say i would throw away everything when i already have
isn't much
but is what i have,
i will
i want to be a farmer
i want liquid colors, sun and small bugs in my clothing
you can only play jazz when it is quiet enough
i want one hot shot of whiskey in my throat
to go down into my stomach and remind me of
what it is like
to sleep beside someone who mixes up into dreams
splattered sepia tones
to be like that so hard tones
here is how: sleep until you can't anymore and then,
when you wake up, get high go back to sleep and then then,
when you wake up that time, lift your pen,
it might be ready,
it probably won't.
