Tidal wave





[from Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill]

The sort of etheral dream pop that seems to take up your entire world/space/consciousness for the few mintues that it's playing. Lulling, whispering, confessing and tired music, lie on you back, headphones on and listen to someone else's feelings so as not to examine your own.

Up late doing work last night and the TV was left on. SBS was playing some great 1989 anime about a 13 year old witch with a black cat (nah, not Sabrina). I've never really gotten into anime before, but this was really awesome, it was called Kiki's Delivery Service it was a dub traslation with a young Kirsten Dunst doing the voice of Kiki. It dealt with teen angst, dealing with independence and boysssssss. It was fantastic, really.




Also, I've been doing up the garden recently and have planted some roses and petunias. I hope to clear the rest of the garden in the holidays and start a herb garden, I got started with a little bit of coriander, I might put some pictures up later.

Deerhunter - Agoraphobia

Song I'm enjoying very much while being held inside by the weather and study.

Everyone should see Gus Van Sant's Paranoid Park, it's definitely one of the best movies I've seen this year. The imagery and montages accompanied by a fantastic score were literally jawdropping. The movie was tense, tense, tense and in the end really quite moving. It was about a sixteen year old boy who is involved in an accident at a local skate park and the story is basically about how he deals with his guilt and also try not to get caught. The film was infamously cast over myspace and I think it was a great idea, everyone is just so normal looking and it's superbly well acted. It just looks so good, cinematography was amazing. Here's the opening ten minutes for you to get the idea and Paranoid Park is available to rent at your local Video Ezy :):
