Emotional
Posted on 2 December 2008. Filed under: Emotional, Herbert, Music, Politics |
New music at the weekend. I enjoyed the new Polar Bear and TV on the Radio albums, the new release of old Matmos is incredible and rich, Four Tet remixes are occasionally brilliant.
But none of them made me cry.
The Matthew Herbert Big Band Album on the other hand, made me cry.
This is a rarity.
Now, let [...]

I wanted to breathe on beat
and go a fifth higher
than my physical voice was coined for.
I wanted to serve with hunger
but my gut split
and the hunger men poured into war.
-Sanddollars, by Why?
Why? I don’t know…I jsut really liked that lyric as I was preparing to write.
Sorry it’s been so long. I’ve been busy and stuck [...]

So, I spend a lot of time trying to drown my sorrows (and joys) in music. Lots of time.
I know things about the music I listen to that man (and woman) was never meant to know. Well, not all the music, but I spend a lot of time reading and looking things up.
I don’t just [...]

Sooo.
I’ve been planning a post about beauty for a while. Lots of different aspects of it. But then I started feeling Ugly. Real Ugly. I was lying in bed last night, very tired, just trying to experience my body from the inside (not like that). Feeling and sensing the limits of my body. Where my [...]

Lots of Inspirational things have been driving my way in the last twenty four hours or so. Not least of all is a wonderfully thoughtful webcomic called Copper. Seemingly just about a clever dog and his wise young master and their path through life. I’ve never seen anything so cute that manages to be as [...]

Music has been treating me grand recently.
After a less than satisfying set on Saturday (not enough people there that early, and only about fifteen to twenty minutes of the set really worked….the ending was rushed, I thought it was getting better but I tried to squeeze too many songs into the end of my set…they [...]

So, indeed, I did watch the Science of Sleep the night before last. I enjoyed it massively, in fact it was an incredibly personally affective film for me. A little nerve-wracking almost, for all the naive silliness that goes on. I’ll explain in a moment.
First off let me mention that the french title is shown [...]

So, it’s miles off from the full moon and everything’s gone a little weird.
I think I’m having fun. In principle at least.
I keep on not thinking about what I’m saying and just splurging random sentences based on things I can see or smell or am remembering. Poor Mr Subliminal had to put up with me [...]

So, in my previous article on The Squid and the Whale, I commented on the fact that intellectualising stuff can make emotional experiences more troublesome, stressful, painful and more difficult to react to.
I think I actually succeeded in entirely detaching myself from the fact that it’s been a problem I’ve had for ages. It [...]

So.
I’ve just noticed as I listen to the music I currently hear pouring into my ears, that there is a common theme between the music, and the reason why I love the film I watched last night so much.
People…the way people talk and communicate… the importance and power of the tiniest moments and things.
This may [...]

So, I recently re-acquired Belle and Sebastian’s ‘classic’ album, ‘If You’re feeling Sinister‘. This is a good thing. I adore this album. There’s several reasons for this, but first a bit of history.
You see, I’ve never owned a copy of this album, but I’ve borrowed it from various people at various times in my life. [...]

Indeed I will, I shall and I have been for the last hour.
The track (YTTE by Matmos) is only 9 minutes and seven seconds long. It is rare that I repeat a track this many times. But it’s just so damn good. Before I start talking about the music though..a bit of background.
Here’s what the [...]

I had a day today. Not quite finished it yet, but I thought I’d jot some thoughts down as I’ve been quiet for a coupla days.
I got practically no sleep, with what I did get performed entirely in stops and starts. I need to figure out a good way of forcing myself to sleep…but forcing [...]
