From
my boat,*
*
*
*
i can see
your house.*

°

And when
the lights are on,°
°
°
°
i can watch
you move…°
°
You are just like an avalanche —
cold, as i might have guessed…
But at least i’m covered up for now…
In a big big way,
i am really small.
i get off my feet,
but i’m still distant…
You can
run away,
leave your books
behind you.
You got
one chance, still:
You got
somethin’ new.

Song of the Day: Interpol - Untitled April 8, 2009
Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Song of the Day, Sounds , add a commentbecause if silence is golden,
then music must be made of diamonds…
The word
untitled
refers to
something
that has no title.
Documents,
works of art,
musical works,
and other works
can be untitled.~ via
Generally,
an untitled work
is the result of
a conscious choice
by the artist or creator
not to apply a title.
However,
many computer programs will useuntitled
as a default title for
documents, images, or other files.
Some works
have a paradoxical title
of Untitled…

Oh, i will surprise you sometime —
i’ll come ’round…

Song of the Day: Blind Willie McTell - Searching the Desert for the Blues May 11, 2008

you might go ‘cross the deep blue sea…
But Mama, you’ll never find
another hot shot like me.
i followed my baby from the station to the train,
and the blues came down like dark night showers of rain.

Song of the Day: Björk – Innocence May 5, 2008

i once had no fears,
none at all.
And then when
i had some…
To my surprise,
i grew to like both:
scared; or brave
without them.
.
.
The thrill of fear —
thought i’d never admit it…
The thrill of fear —
now greatly enjoyed with courage.

Neurosis
only
attaches
itself
to
fertile
ground,
where
it
can
flourish…

When i once was
fearless,
innocence roared.

Still amazes…

Untouchable,
innocence.
It is still here —

but in different places.

Quote(s) of the Day: from Another Roadside Attraction May 4, 2008
Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Philosophy, Politics, Quote of the Day , add a comment“Normally,”
said Marvelous,
“the Institute
concerns itself
with probing
relatively specific
problems
and
situations.”
For example, the State Department
and the Defense Department signed
a joint contract with us for a study of Iceland.They wanted to know where
Iceland was going in the modern world,
whether she would be likely to constitute
a threat.
Considering her history and her racial character, her current state of economic growth, scientific activity and political ambitions, what should be America’s long-range policy in regards to Iceland?
In our twice-weekly seminars, where
we would pool the results of individual research and think sessions, we dined on fish heads and mead and piped in rÃmur music, that’s how immersed in Iceland we were.
. We even turned the air conditioner up as high
. as it would go to get the feel of the climate.
.
. The assistant director caught a terrible cold
. and missed ten days.
.
. That study was top secret, naturally,
and I’m violating security by mentioning it,
but what the hell.You see, generally, what kind of projects we undertook?
“Yes, I see,”
said Amanda.“It sounds ever so important.”
Was Amanda giggling
or clearing her sinuses?
Marx Marvelous
could not tell which.“It is necessary
that man extend his vision
beyond the political realities
of the present,”
said Marx,
somewhat defensively.
“When science can assist him in that, it is his duty.”
~ from Another Roadside Attraction

Now there is one outstandingly important fact
regarding Spaceship Earth,and that is that
no instruction book
came with it.*
The Things
to do are:the things
that need doing,
that you see need
to be done,and that no one else
seems to see
need to be done.
You
never
change
things
by
fighting
the
existing
reality.To
change
something,
build
a
new
model
that
makes
the
existing
model
obsolete.~ Richard Buckminster ‘Bucky’ Fuller (1895–1983)

Song of the Day: The Shins - Young Pilgrim April 27, 2008
Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Song of the Day, Sounds , add a commentA cold and wet November dawn,
and there are no barking sparrows —
just emptiness to dwell upon.
i fell into a winter slide,
and ended up the kinda kid
who goes down chutes too narrow…
But i learned fast
how to keep my head up,
’cause i know there is this side of me that
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
fly the whole mess into the sea…
