BEAUTIFUL. SO IT HURTS.

Posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 by Gus

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

Sylvia Plath - Mad Girl's Love Song

NO CEREMONY make music that is beautiful. so i hurts. so it stays with you. and these film clips are perfect.

EVERY TIME YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM

“She wasn't doing a thing that I could see, except standing there, leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.”
- JD Salinger 'A girl i knew'


for the ears. for the morning. for the power. for the glory.

flume's 19. he's from sydney. flume isn't his real name.

'possums' is one of the best morning walk to the train station/evening walk away from work songs ever. it makes me so damn happy. and his 'anthem' remix is so flip

THERE ARE THINGS WE'VE NEVER SAID

Posted on Sunday, October 23, 2011 by Gus


“Look...Reality is greater than the sum of its parts, also a damn sight holier. And the lives of such stuff as dreams are made of may be rounded with a sleep but they are not tied neatly with a red bow. Truth doesn't run on time like a commuter train, though time may run on truth. And the Scenes Gone By and the Scenes to Come flow blending together in the sea-green deep while Now spreads in circles on the surface. So don't sweat it. For focus simply move a few inches back or forward. And once more...look.”
-Ken Kesey, Sometimes A Great Notion

"You can make a mark across the night with the tip of an embered stick, and you can actually see it fixed in its finity. You can be absolutely certain of its treacherous impermanence. Hank knew . . . "
-Ken Kesey, Sometimes A Great Notion

a great book. a truly overwhelmingly beautiful piece of writing. i've heard some people say that they find i hard to read, with the techniques he's used. but that's the beauty of it. you're getting these first-person perspectives from multiple people all at once and he creates this depth of character. and each scene in the book just has this added weight because of it. it's a beautiful thing. a truly beautiful thing.

and something for your ears

with his wonderfully sparce arrangements and use of loops to build layers in a track hayden calnin establishes this depth and emotion and its fucking lovely.

summer is such a bold song. i love it.

THIS ROOM ON FIRE

Posted on Friday, October 14, 2011 by Gus


youth lagoon is the best thing that's happened to me today.


i was mad depressed earlier...

one of those days when it's sunny outside but the shadows just seem to follow you.
can't get the light.
can't feel the warmth.
can't get anything to go my way.

...but then i downloaded youth lagoon's 'the year of hibernation' and all was good.

i fucking love that music can do that.

all you have to do is listen.




this film clip is stunning too. tyler t williams has mad talent behind a camera.


++

and as an aside,

have you seen this trailer? beautiful. the song is by chad vangaalen, who until now i'd actually overlooked. he's amazing.

REMEMBER WHEN WE LIVED IN A DIFFERENT WORLD? REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE INVISIBLE?

Posted on Wednesday, September 7, 2011 by Gus



this movie is so flip.

i was pretty devastated when i missed it at the cinemas and i've only just got around to watching it but if you haven't seen it lock it in for essential viewing it's got a kinda lars and the real girl vibe and that film was sick.

leon ford wrote and directed and nailed both and the two stars ryan kwanten and maeve dermody are amazing particularly dermody she's perfect i've got a maddd crush on her.

and the music is sick.

for example:
