Ah, Well You Say That...

Just in the mood for a bit of Pablo Neruda

Every day you play with the light of the universe.
Subtle visitor, you arrive in the flower and the water.
You are more than this white head that I hold tightly
as a cluster of fruit, every day, between my hands.

You are like nobody since I love you.
Let me spread you out among yellow garlands.
Who writes your name in letters of smoke among the stars of the south?
Oh let me remember you as you were before you existed.

Suddenly the wind howls and bangs at my shut window.
The sky is a net crammed with shadowy fish.
Here all the winds let go sooner or later, all of them.
The rain takes off her clothes.

The birds go by, fleeing.
The wind. The wind.
I can contend only against the power of men.
The storm whirls dark leaves
and turns loose all the boats that were moored last night to the sky.

You are here. Oh, you do not run away.
You will answer me to the last cry.
Cling to me as though you were frightened.
Even so, at one time a strange shadow ran through your eyes.

Now, now too, little one, you bring me honeysuckle,
and even your breasts smell of it.
While the sad wind goes slaughtering butterflies
I love you, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.

How you must have suffered getting accustomed to me,
my savage, solitary soul, my name that sends them all running.
So many times we have seen the morning star burn, kissing our eyes,
and over our heads the gray light unwind in turning fans.

My words rained over you, stroking you.
A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body.
I go so far as to think that you own the universe.
I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells,
dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses.
I want
to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.

Murry Gold really has been doing some sterling work on the new series of Doctor Who. The ‘Doctor’s Action Theme’ or whatever it’s actually called is wonderful. Action in 7/4 as well!

Six word stories

“It’s black tie… also a funeral.”

Things rolled: My Rs, her eyes.

“Don’t care. No thorax, no service.”

Sold soul to devil. Yours, sorry.

“Honey, I’m pregnant!” “So am I…”

“Hang on, that’s not the horizon…”

You’re nicer than your obituary suggested

Seems Godzilla just needed contact lenses

“Lard isn’t vegetarian? Shit! Fuck! Sorry!”

“…and that’s why you never age.”

The Minders - It's a Bright Guilty World

The Minders - It's a Bright Guilty World:

I’d somehow completely forgotten about this album until I was searching through things a minute ago.

Gorgeously crafted Elephant 6 indie pop by a very underrated and much missed band.

Don't Look Back - flash game:

Really nice piece of storytelling with minimal elements and great use of audio. Surprisingly affecting.

Curiouser & Curiouser (rough draft)

Sketch of a track I wrote at some point around May 2009 for my friend Claire’s animation based on Alice In Wonderland, the proper version of which is currently lost to an old hard drive…
