So many reasons to be angry today... Won't write about it though... Too much beauty in this song to do anything else.11. Miossec - Une fortune de mer.mp3Une fortune de mer qui dérive dans les rouleauxEn fredonnant un air qui rappelle la douceur de tes motsUne fortune de mer tout au large de ConcarneauQui ne sait plus trop quoi faire pour que tu le remorques de nouveauUne fortune de mer au beau milieu de l'atlantiqueSur qui s'abat le tonnerreLa douleur est parfois magnifiqueUne fortune de merUne épave sur les flotsDis-moi à quoi ça sert de m'être accroché à ta peauUn homme qui récite des prièresPour que tu reviennes à nouveauJ'aurais dû la faire avant-hierMais je n'ai pas su trouver les motsJe t'ai perdue Esther et je me suis jeté dans les flotsEt j'ai rejoint la mer tout au large de ConcarneauEsther...

So much is going on! Holy frig!Nathan and K have been a blast. Going back to school has been quite interesting and returning back to my part-time gig is just peachy. I've been listening to RH albums ever so delicately. After a summer fill I have surprisingly decided that Hail to the Thief is my favourite album.Sail to the Moon has won best song for me. I've probably listened to it a thousand times. My playlist looks like:I Might Be Wrong,Pyramid Song,Scatterbrain,Sail to the Moon,Morning Bell,Airbag,How to Disappear CompletelyI always have to end by listening to How to Disappear Completely ..... I miss u.

Like water off a ducks back, the smile returns. The next day all is well, as if it never happened. There is no denial, but there is also no dwelling. A lesson I wish I could learn as I continue to ponder things incessantly. Resilient and strong in spite fear. Quiet and hopeful and grateful for a good day. I am at ease in the knowledge that despite appearances, he is truly stronger than I could hope to be.

Outra matériaRadiohead, Blur, Keane push for 'three strikes' downloading ruleMusicians sign motion to push for restricted bandwidth for downloaders"Radiohead's Ed O'Brien, Blur's Dave Rowntree and Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley are among the musicians who have signed up to a motion by the Featured Artists Coalition to support the idea of a 'three strikes' rule for illegal downloaders.Under the proposed rule, users who persistently illegally download would receive up to three letters with increasing severity, then a sanction on the speed of their internet connection if they continued to do so.The idea is at odds with the UK government's proposal for new legislation. Yesterday (September 24) Business Secretary Lord Peter Mandelson again outlined his proposal to cut off the connections of persistent file-sharers, saying it would be a "last resort" as an action against copyright infringers.A message on FAC website, featuredartistscoalition.com following a meeting yesterday (September 24) read: "Our meeting voted overwhelmingly to support a three-strike sanction on those who persistently download illegal files, sanctions to consist of a warning letter, a stronger warning letter and a final sanction of the restriction of the infringer’s bandwidth to a level which would render file-sharing of media files impractical while leaving basic email and web access functional."The members also voted to support Lily Allen, who was recently campaigning against illegal downloading. The singer stepped away from the debate yesterday.The file-sharing debate: all the key quotes so far"NME NEWSSeptember 25, 2009http://www.nme.com/news/radiohead/47508New video
Ed O'Brien hits out against plan along with the Featured Artists Coalition"Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien has hit out at the UK government's plan to cut off the internet access of persistent illegal file-sharers.O'Brien, a member of the Featured Artists Coalition musicians' alliance, was speaking as the organisation condemned the plan, which was outlined in August, saying it could drive fans away from music."It's going to start a war which they'll never win," the guitarist said about the proposed measure, reports BBC News. "It won't work. It's as simple as that. I was talking to a serial file-sharer the other day who is a friend. He downloads films and he hasn't paid for music for six years."I asked his opinion of it and he laughed. He said, 'Even if they cut me off I'll still be able to do it.' It's something you do not want to take on, so move on."In a joint statement with the British Academy Of Songwriters, Composers And Authors and the Music Producers Guild, the FAC described the proposals as "heavy handed" and explained that its members, which include Kate Nash and Blur's Dave Rowntree "vehemently oppose" the notion."We don't want to make enemies of our fans," Rowntree said. "The sensible thing to do is to try to see how we can monetise all this file-sharing activity, which is evidence of a lot of interest in music."Billy Bragg, also a member of the coalition, said: "We're concerned that, in an age where there is much greater competition for attention, these proposals are in danger of driving young people away from the idea of listening to music. As musicians, we're worried about that."The government had originally given media regulator Ofcom until 2012 to decide whether such connection restricting or severing moves were necessary. However, it is believed that after the intervention of First Secretary Of State Lord Mandelson, the Department For Business, Innovation And Skills has since decided that this timescale is "too long to wait".NME NewsSeptember 10, 2009

and i need to disco. disco!discodisco! [via rip from live Justice set]The weather is brutal and I've been riding my bike between Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach all day. Forgot my wallet at home, realized this after the bill came from going to eat sushi by myself after class. Rather embarrassing. Sashelle's birthday shindig last night at the bar didn't have too much of an effect on my this morning. It was good to see David so I'm glad I went. Bought a few radiohead shirts at deelux today. Hopefully will see my brother at some point, it's his 23rd birthday and I bought him tickets to the Pixies doolittle tour. Hoping I get my laptop back today as well, at a prime point in the Office box sets and I need to finish season 4. Also falling behind in my Film Appreciation class since it revolves around having a computer at home with working audio.Goals and plans? Save money. Pay off tickets. Get my license back on Sunday but can't afford to start driving again for another few weeks. Video clerk salary is wearing me out. Sister is moving out in a month. My father, his girlfriend, and her son are moving in. I need to move out of my parents house and into somewhere sound. But time is on my side so I'll stay put for now, get my license, get a better job, complete a couple dozen units, then bail.Total recluse lately. Again, right? I know I say it every time but I'm really enjoying it right now. Need to wake up on time. Start my exercises. And read more. But at least I've building a solid foundation and freeing time to do so.To Dos this week: make a mix, burn mix CDs for friends, write out 3 month calender, jailbreak iphone, use quicken again, bluff up resume, find a better job blah blahWatch Giant with James Dean, yeah I'll do that.Alright for now

too much smoking and pills last night at Kelli's house in Chino Hills to have a clear mind for art history this morning. Vance introduced me to quasimoto. We use to listen to marshal mathers drone on about the downside of poverty and angry, now we listen to layered non-sense. They both let the record skip all the same.wish i didn't miss the age of stupid screening near my house. thom seemed a little nervous but i can never see reckoner fail. that song has still not lost it's charm. haven't listened to the new 12" yet. I have the download, might just wait till I get the physical copy in the mail to hear the two songs. it'll give me something to look up at this week.today caught me off guard. running and speaking to people I care about but I realized I don't know how too when I'm not even all there myself. Sometimes.ads like this make me sick:

And mastered by Bob Ludwig.They are being put out on 12" with sliced sleeve by Stanley and Tchock.My sources tell me this will be available from the 21st of September if you're interested.. On sale in the w.a.s.t.e part of our website (with a gratis download.)Or you can go buy it in a good record shop if you are lucky enough to have one near you.Then later on there will be like a normal download thing i think around the 6th of Oct through the usual channels.And so it goes. all the bestThom"Já disponível pra downloadmais notíciasWatch the new clip for 'The Hollow Earth' here"Radiohead's Thom Yorke has been brought together with graffiti artist Banksy for the video for his new solo song 'The Hollow Earth'.Watch the unofficial video for the song by clicking below.

I want to go really far away and struggle to survive. Maybe I'd be more creative then. Maybe I'd find that I need adventure, experience, new new new new things to be someone. I'm so bored with myself I don't know what to do anymore. It's a whiney self loathing habit of mine to sit here and complain about things I can't really control but could've if possibly I was raised different or if I really was goddamn fearless. People will use the phrase that people like me don't want it enough. I think I want some things so much it fucking hurts and then I dwell on that instead of fixing myself. Sometimes I really don't get why people want to be around me. I feel like a blob.

I tremble at trouble but face to face I'm trouble sucking the tremble of others. Love loops holes are a lot like black holes, they have no grounding. I'm starting to redefine words like"grounded"or"love"in real time day to day.and people deserve to be lonely. write don't watch.watch don't talk. listen selectively. and don't ever do.for the sake of it.Steve Bennett doesn't know what he wants. He has compared his life to others so much that he's begun to loose track of his own. He's highly ambitious, willing, and sets solid goals. However, Steve Bennett lacks motivation most the time. Steve ponders, "Is it pyschological? Will medication help? Counseling? Drinks with friends? Drugs and an canvas?" Steve Bennett is a lonely man, arguably because he chooses to be. But he weighs the pros and cons, his body and his peers, and fumbles into insanity. Be Steve is sane. The ideal of the opposite will just create an secret alter ego that seems more thrilling that his actual reality.Steve Bennett does not know what he wants. But he, like most, want change. Change is a concept that is too bleak for anyone to desire. Steve should read more, exercise more frequently, and stay focused.Steve Bennett does not know what he wants. So he questions "what should I focus on?"The poor sap.----divide all the words I've told you by one hundred and you'll get more of an accurate meaning of whatever was the subject we discussed.xjordan

Unseen eyes and a voice unheardThe faith of a strangerStrength finds the holes and fills the gapsKind words give new meaningA friend, a true friendNo expectations and no regretsNo regrets?None at allTo be known from deep within and still be lovedYes, a "stranger" can feel like homeComfort is a welcome changeAppreciation without judgment or hidden agendas"Thank You", seems so contritePerhaps crashing to the ground on bloody knees,Grasping at the ankles of kindnessSobbing cries of gratitude through tears of reliefYes, that would doBut as the words begin to form"Thank You", is all can be is said

Stepping outOn stepping stonesCracked and ready to crumbleThe slightest pressure or lightest weightBring the depths instantly closerPlummeting to the unknownFacing the unwantedThe sunny sky turns tunnelTurns pinhead, turns blackVertigo, no sign to guideNothing to lean onNo way to track the bubblesAs the drowning ensuesSearing pain, like lighteningBlinds or enlightensA flash of what's to comeFor an instant there is tomorrowIn that instant hope renewsA hint of up or downA choice of directionA path to gloryA way of lifeAnd the sun will never be lost again

Oof.from what i am told, the dream is about freedom. or that i shall travel soon. but i know no freedom. and i shall not travel soon.i am navigating through a large european city. or an american city. or tokyo. or sao paolo. or. A City of the Future. lets leave it at that.there are slums. glittering glass skyscrapers. suburbs. everywhere i have ever been or seen in my life all in one city. a city full of cities. taxis. horns. subways. screeching metal. more noise than one can imagine. all of it. all at once.i have bags. unwieldy bags that are overstuffed, bursting, causing me to stop and collect stop and collect stop and collect.and i'm running. hot sticky hot. sweat. panic. screaming for movement.and there's the airport. An Airport of the Future. Larger than anything you've ever seen. Planes are 10 stories high. Gates take days to reach. and i'm running. there are wires everywhere. planes land through nets of wires which doesnt seem possible given their size yet they do. but not before you think death is right. where. you. are.once you hit the airport the real panic starts. my legs start to burn, then become paralytic. frozen. unimaginable charley horses. muscles practically break in half, fall off the bone. another thing to stop and collect. bags bursting. and i'm late. security scatters all my belongings everywhere and i am forced to scurry about the floor putting things back. my gate is miles away. up endless escalators. flights of stairs that see no end.there are storms all around. electrical. and the nets of wires pulse and flicker. spark.and there's pain. so much pain.but this time. she calls me. from the gate. she says something ridiculous. somethingthat doesn't acknowledge the hours of agony i have been through. something selfish. and i stop dumbstruck and stare into the phone. not knowing what to say. now wanting to say a thing.and then.there's a body on the ground. three stories below the fire escape. flat on his stomach. i knew him. but i don't know how. and i turn. and i am a hostage. we all are. and the man that is keeping us. i know him too. but again. i don't know how. i know him in a way that the others dont. no one is scared. very matter of fact. i know i am the key to release. if i can just. say the right? thing. but it doesn't seem as if i can or will or know how.and we're there. in the room. all of us.waiting for the next move.and this. this is a dream of freedom i ask.
