Holga.

First results from my Holga camera. I pretty disappointed actually.

My fault, as I pissed it up by putting in a 12 frame, but then taking pictures like there was a 16 frame in it, so some of the more interesting ones weren't even developed. Oh well, as least I'll know for next time.

Make sounds

Which I shall. I have been meaning to actually, but Avey Tare telling me to do so has made me more eager to get started with it.

Keep it real, keep it real, shout out!

So I've decided, mainly due to boredom, that I shall make a post. And its going to be abbooooouuut....music! Yay.

So for the past month I've been going on and on about this band called Animal Collective, who happen to be releasing their 9th album on Monday! And whom I happen to be seeing on Wednesday!

I was pretty naughty and illegally downloaded the album. Which is how I know and can proclaim, that it is infact, THE ALBUM OF THE MONTH! (possibly year, but its way too early to call that) and due to that fact, I will go out an exchange some shiny shiny coins for it.

I personally prefer the later AC stuff, more upbeat, more variety and importantly, words which is what makes Merriweather Post Pavilion so good and leads on nicely from Strawberry Jam/the Water Curses EP

So, I would definitely recommend this album. I'd say its their second best album (after SJ)Standout tracks are;
My Girls, Brothersport and Summertime Clothes.


That's basically it kids! Tune in next month when I can pretty much guarantee that I'll be saying The Black Lips - 200 million thousand is February's album of the month.

My Ukulele...

So far on my ukulele I can play;

5 Years Time - Noah and the Whale
Postcards From Italy - Beirut
Railway House - Patrick Wolf.

That is all! But I think thats pretty good. It is new. I do love it.

To the one I love...

I like you, That's it basically.
Whether you already knew that or not, you're reading this, so now know indefinitely.
And in doing so I've made my bed and subsequently have to lie in it.
I wasn't going to write this letter, just give you the CD, which in itself was debatable, but I guess this makes more sense.
And its probably best to say, don't take the songs too literally.
I don't know what else to say, if this ever gets to you, I'm sure ill instantly regret it, though the same goes for if you never read this.
Its a no win situation for me it seems, because even if you do read this you probably most certainly never will be mine, and for that there is acid in my heart. Its probably time to get you off my mind. But now the decision is all in your hands.
For once id like to get what I want, but that's up to you.
Take it or leave it.


(Song listing;
The Maccabees - First Love
XX Teens - Only You
The Cribs - You Were Always The One
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps
Robyn - Be Mine
The Sleepy Jackson - Acid In My Heart
The Smiths - Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I want
The Strokes - Take It Or Leave It)

Things I never did.

Told him,
Told them,
And the others,
Asked him,
And the others,
Gave my hand to the boy who held his out to me,
Went through with the plan,
The plans,
Gave up,
Stuck to it,
Went.
