Heima
"Heima" means home. And home is where the heart is. Yeah, whatever. Sigur Ros is an Icelandic band and "Heima" is a there visual presentation of playing at home. And maybe it's because I am in an 'autumnesk' mood, or maybe it is that I always have a weak spot for barren, surreal landscapes, and yes, sure it helps I physically tune in well with the eerie sound of Sigur Ros, even picked a song of theirs to play at my one someday day event funeral, so anyway, point is, even though my objective judgments are faltering as ever, I just think the trailer looks beautiful.
Ok Computer
The sun is shining, it's hot, so today I just walk away in camo shorts, hat and ipod. I won't be back before I have a tan, so in the meantime, in colorful anticipation, you could check this out.
Stereogum has put up a covers compilation album called OKX: A Tribute to OK Computer where they asked various artists to record a song from the legendary OK Computer album. Not all are great but there are some nice versions, and best thing is, it's a free download. No complaining here.
43 Things And More
The sun is slowly breaking through, another pleasant day is looming with a lazy shrug of recollection, 'almost summer, again...', and sure Sir Bob Geldof was right, monday mornings are the worst mornings, but then you also have to realize, this one hit wonder was sung by a bored teenager in his twenties, all babble without a sense of purpose, well before he started this celebrity crusade against poverty with his pal Bono.
So Bob is doing fine today I guess, having some great sir-hood lunch while gossiping over last non event G8 adventures, and I, despite the fine weather ahead, am again as clueless as on those I don't like mondays days, just kinda pleased with my latest visit to 43 Things where 4 of the wishes exactly mirrored mine. So yeah, tempted to squeak 'can you guess which ones?', but as things go, Bob and me know those wasted years are gone, and well sweet dreams, I don't believe in wishing trees.
