cloud control

nick maybury sends new music from cloud control of australia
from album bliss release

there is nothing in the water we can't fight
i wonder if that is an environmental reference to all the petrochemicals, the pharmaceutical punch mutating the fish, the whole disaster of plastic

needless to say
when i am on the furthest edge
nick somehow finds a way to cheer me up

reminding me of the cheerful colorful antics of mystery jets, the smiths, laura marling, the klazons, simon bookish, yves klein blue

otherwise listening very closely to the lyrics of the amazing
about petrol fumes

and wish little
except i can imagine meeting christoffer gunrup to tell him how lovely his voice and his gentleness is and thanks for going on having the courage to string us along with a song

"deportation day" or "defect"

or something about a psychotic parade


sometimes i think it is a little too close to home, the patient melancholy

is it likely?

there was a point when i consciously stopped listening to music i liked and started listening to music that cheered me up.
that was around 2007 when all the cheesy emo-ish electro came back, and i took my cues from a crowd younger than me, who were not so world-weary

might go see robyn tonight.

having a rough time processing racism in europe, islamophobia, rape law in sweden, google bombs, america, wikileaks severity of impact.

will go back to eating chocolate and drinking pomegranate juice
great remedies against depression

realized i am desperately homesick for my hollywood friends
finally
i've had enough of distance and fresh air

something very meditative.  when my ears are free of music a few things come to mind.
