Jetlag

Night Flight

My eyes can't close.
My eyes can't focus.

Escaping the night
to burn up in the fiery horizon.

Unavoidable Gaze

Glances in Context

Eye to eye 1

Eye contact is sustained, subtle and studious. It gently inspects the subject trying to find out as much as possible without unsettling anything.

eye to eye 2

A potent stare, the eye is alert to even the smallest change, focussing and responding to specific visual information.

eyelashes 2s

Nocturnal bedsit glamour is not just the preserve of Thatcher-era northern english youth. Any occasion is apt for judicious mirror action ... eye to eye ... no one can hide.

MISS LE BOMB (Berlin/Careless Records) : L'immanquable chanteuse du Club le Bomb et Queen of Japan, nous concocte une disco bordélique, des morceaux garantis de vous faire virevolter de plaisir sur un dancefloor en paillettes de choc. Elle percute sur scène avec un fracas hedoniste.
MISS LE BOMB secoue, tronçonne, rugit, embrase (et embrasse). Le public n'a pas d'autre choix que de se laisser déployer. Son nouveau maxi 'Jealousy' (remixé par Electronicat et Snax) vient de sortir sur le label Berlinois, Careless Records.

MARCO TULIO THRASH irradiera la Flèche d'Or avec son Plutonium Pop enrichi à la synthpop de Sheffield et aux isotopes Italo. MARCO TULIO THRASH donne la parole aux centrales nucléaires, aux autoroutes et péages, aux blocs opératoires et aux problèmes d'amour sur des synthés ionisants.
MARCO TULIO THRASH vous conseille d'ammener vos compteurs Geiger. http://myspace.com/driftingdisco / http://www.driftingdisco.blogspot.com/

LESS THE BAND (US) : Psychedelic post-rock, clumsy funk, and any 80s record that ever got you laid. The band stretches the standard landscapes of American Song with stories of black bears, robotic attraction, and Mickey Rooney. http://www.myspace.com/lesstheband

Symptomatic Unease

The instructions were clear but something was lurking in the hard drive.
Les instructions étaient sans équivoque mais le passe était au coin de la rue.

Computer 002

The incriminated files could not be rehabilitated.
Les fichiers incriminés n'ont pas pu être innocentés.

Computer 001

The fancy brackets do not disguise the blandness.
Un mot passé-partout.

That question won’t exactly bolster confidence.
La question en cause ne fait pas grande chose pour la confiance en soi même.

Last night was spent watching footage of a pastoral ballerina. She had the inscription "ballet sucks" written in sunscreen on her legs. After gracing the screen with a little dance, she proceeded to smear the inscriptions over the rest of her legs as well as her face.

This footage was filmed by the charming Muscae Volitantes who will be projecting global pastoralia and sundry motion at Fiasco System 17.

See you down the front.

Réaménagements en Recrudescence

Le Club des Chats sont maintenant 2 et non plus 3. Vont-ils devenir The Fall mais à l’envers ? Dans 20 ans va-t-il y avoir des clubs des ex-chanteurs du groupe qui se réunissent dans des centres de conférences pour se remémorer de leur gloire passés ?

Lawrence Wasser a effectué une restructuration massive. Non seulement sont ils passés de 4 à 3 mais tout le personnel, excepté le fondateur, a été remplacé.

On peut conclure que ces actions s’inscrivent dans les tendances catalogues de nôtre économie. Pour l’instant il est difficile d’estimer l’effet sur la croissance future.

The Healing Pleasure of a Home Cooked Meal

The Healing Pleasure of a Home-Cooked Meal

This weekend was lousy - an inane mixture of mysterious anxiety and fatigue. Partial relief was provided by friends but it was, well, rather partial.

The pleasures of cooking are widely recognised by everyone. Even a mediocre home cooked meal followed by a quick spot at the sink can provide very effective relief to the problems stated in the previous paragraph.

Festival Bancal and Food and Stuff 142

Ce week-end a été médiocre d’un point de vue individuel – un mélange injustifié d’anxiété mystérieuse et de fatigue. Un bon antidote, c’est toujours de voir et interagir avec ses amis, mais cette fois ce n’était pas suffisant.

Le plaisir de cuisiner est amplement reconnu. Même un mets moyen suivi d’une vaisselle rapide (+ accompagnement musical) peut corriger tout déséquilibre émotif et mettre les idées dans la bonne voie.
