Resurrection

I've decided to do this again, I had to stop due to my final year getting all serious and other real life shit that I wont go into. Basically doing this again for a place to document whatever I end up seeing in Norway when i go in a week and a bit. Back at home for a couple of months, stumbled across a few things...

 

Took this in Brighton about 4 and a bit years or so now, they flew down and started throwing fish heads around, hit a bunch of people trying to enjoy the 'sun'.

Prague about 2 years ago, don't what was going on here, just stumbled across it whilst hungover as shit.

THIS.

Seething with jealousy, but this has put me in a great mood too.

 

Apparently this is a legitimate company in Australia. I am going to start a sister company called Gro-Mags, sell plant fertilizer and shit.

Current rotation...

Currently incredibly relevant to my interests. Listen to more here.

My mind.

Stolen from Sam Swift, this summer I want to start a band like this and play in gardens, garages and BBQ's ONLY.

Still my favourite fucking video of all time, still the best live fucking video I've ever seen. DON'T STAND AT THE BACK LOOKING CUTE.

Nostalgia.

A lot of people will be unimpressed with this, but no one reads this shit anyway so who cares. I've just been listening to Death Cab For Cutie for the first time in many many years, say what you want about this band, they are a band I can track throughout my early, mid and late teens, and a band intensely important in my life. Plans reminds me of possibly the best times of my life, going on holiday to Cornwall with three of my best friends, 2 of which I don't talk to as much anymore and I really should do, waking up at 3am to go to a new skate park opened on the seafront, laying in Josh's garden after a party listening to this record and Transatlanticism, the list is endless. Now I'm 21, negative and clutching at straws for almost every aspect of my life, what I wouldn't give to go back to then, fuck...

New Iron Age.

The Saga Demos just released on Cyclopean Records today, said to be the final release from iron Age, which is an absolute shame. Iron Age have constantly been brilliant, what with Constant Struggle being a near perfect hardcore record, but I fucking LOVE the sound that they grew into with The Sleeping Eye and this tape. There are nods to Mercyful Fate on this tape, enough said.

If you're lucky there maybe a few left in the Cyclopean Records store (I doubt it now though, I got one, har har), or they are offering it to download for free at their band camp.

Had that bottom of the gut feeling for a solid week.

New Cold Cave.

 

The Great Pan is Dead is the first song taken from the upcoming album Cherish the Light Years. This is what Wes Eisold has said about the track (taken from the Cold Cave website.)

"This is the first song on the forthcoming full-length, Cherish the Light Years. It was also the first song I wrote after the group of songs that makes up Love Comes Close and it existed in some half-finished way in my head for almost two years. It had to be the first song on the album and serve as a declaration of everything I want to assert through Cold Cave.

When the album was announced a few weeks ago it was said that the record is a love letter to NYC. That’s not exactly true. It’s a love letter to the path that has lead me to where I am now, to loss and love and friends and enemies and the dizzied and blurred ways of the world. This song and record is about magic, preservation, youth and movement.

I spent the months before recording visiting old homes and record stores and small towns and cities I grew up in. I went to Boston, Philly, Portland and Brunswick Maine, Virginia Beach, San Diego, Monterey, and more to soak in the nostalgia, some version of research for the record.

I miss a lot of people. I used to deal with that by assuring myself I’d see them again. I know that can’t be true. This song is dedicated to all of them.
More soon..
WE"
