Promiscuous Girl/Boy

Loose

As I spend an evening listening to the sticky tune by Nelly Furtado, Promiscuous Girl, I can not stop thinking of some girls. No words from me.. at this time, maybe in a future posting During a party last week, I saw this girl I was hitting on being played by a friend of mine who knew I was interested on her, later my friend acquaintance came to let me know about all her facial defects and to brag how dumb she was and that I did not have a chance…funny thing, I can see things as if I was in a bubble… maybe I am, but anyways, as I study this pop culture of ours (listening carefully to the lyrics of Furtado’s latest hit used to promote cell phones) maybe to do a painting and maybe to understand it as well, and I see a band I have venerated come back doing pop, Sonic Youth Rather Ripped, I wonder, are Furtado’s lyrics factually based? probably… in a music video? right?!, Is this new release by Sonic Youth the end of my times as a punk lover?

check sy and let me know what you think

Chorus-
Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And it’s you that I want

N: Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I’m all yours
What you waiting for?

Mishima Mon Amour

Friday, April 14th, 2006

DSCN0014

I first heard of Mishima from a friend I loved, she told me that he was one of Japan’s greater writers. Time passed and I later purchased in an impulse many of Philip Glass’ recordings. One of them was Mishima, I loved the music and listen to it for more than a year… and one day I had the curiosity of renting the movie (only to be found on netflix, of course). Well, watching a movie when you know all the music by heart is an exhilarating experience, like feeling more every musical accent, or experiencing more of the frames. I have not read any of his books, but now I have a reason to do so. Does anybody know which book of his would be good to start with?

I later saw Glass in concert in Miami with the Screens, good stuff.

Thinking outside the box

Teaches of Peaches (Bonus CD)

Normally when people would use the expression “thinking outside the box”, I would understand that I need to do my job some what different from others and to approach the task with a different perspective. Today I was told to think outside the box and all I could see in my head was a small box on the floor and me next to it with a complete lost face. I could not stop laughing at the expression as it was used a few times during the workday.

Does anybody have a Freudian examination to this?

Is it a visual perspective? The image and link to peaches is nonrelated, just like it

Mulatu Astatke

There is a Band/Musician I recently discovered while seeing Jarmusch’s Broken Flowers

Mulatu Astatke rocks in my opinion. The recordings are from 72-74 but feel fresh to me.
