Brian Eno – Just Another Day

I’ve been quite obsessed with Brian Eno lately. The combination of his voice, music, and words just really touches my soul. He makes me think about the future a lot — like possibly not being on Earth one day.
Brian Eno – Just Another Day on Earth

Lyrics:

Oh it’s just another day,
It’s just another day on Earth
Oh [...]

All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace

A poem by Richard Brautigan:
I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammels and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.
I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.
I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a [...]

Spiritualized – Cool Waves

’tis is what i need…
Spiritualized – Cool Waves

Lyrics:

Baby when you gotta sleep
Lay your head down low
Don’t let the world
Lay heavy on your soul
’cause when you gotta sleep
You gotta sleep
Cool waves wash over me
Cool water running free
Lay your sweet hand on me
’cause i love you
Love you
Love you
Baby if you lose your love
Don’t take me by surprise
Don’t [...]

Brian Eno & David Byrne – My Big Nurse

Brian Eno & David Byrne – My Big Nurse (2008)

Lyrics:

When the lake’s on fire
With all the world’s desires
When he shakes the stars above
When we lose the ones we love
When the seasons lose their grip
When the tightrope walker slips
I’m counting all the possibilities
When the past becomes the now
When the lost becomes the found
When we fall in [...]

Sonic Youth 2009 Fall Tour

On August 3rd, 2009 Sonic Youth played a last-minute set in San Francisco at the fabulous Independent (in my opinion, one of SF’s best venues for sound and vision). The show was announced on July 28th and sold out the same day. I was late on buying tickets, but with a little bit of persistence/waiting [...]

Earlier this month I went to a party at the Standard Rooftop in Downtown L.A. for Shaun Reeves, Droog (who have recently launched their own record label, Culprit), Matías Aguayo (of Cómeme & Kompakt) and John Wander (of Roam Music). Music was great, met some new people as well. One of them is Yelva, and [...]
