Llamas On The Beach

Consider this tumblr the botched (but hopefully amusing, pretty, result of boredom and too much time on the internet. Expect wine, punctuation innovation, rambling, art, food, quotes, music and politics. Now that I'm travelling it's also a food and travel blog wa-hey! If you want to look for just those posts and avoid the rest of my mind junk just click on #travel.

New Gold Panda!

“Brazil” by Gold Panda

Everything about this is beautiful. I would love to dance to this at dawn in the summer after a long night out. It’s that kind of song: full of promise, lovely, something fresh.

sarahspy: Says laurasnapes: I interviewed Marnie Stern for Pitchfork. I love her. Here’s my favourite of her answers: In “Proof of Life”, there’s the line, “All my life is based on fantasy”— I sit here all day, living in this fantasy world and wondering if I have let my life go by without having real connections, no family or anything like that. Like, I am embarrassed that I can’t afford health insurance, and then there’s the separate issue of not caring about any of that and wanting to write a really good song that’s important to me, which ends up overriding everything else. But then I lay in bed awake at night and think, “Oh god, what will I do? I’ve got to find a guitar lesson to teach, or sell something.” But it’s a choice. I feel very fortunate to have people hear my music. I don’t feel like I have much of a right to complain about not making money out of it.

When I think of what it used to feel like once
To be a freak who liked you
To feel like a freak like you
- a freak who even looked a little like you

And then I think of the countless people of every size and feather who are going to walk through this trace of your journey here and pick up the breadcrumbs in the great hub of this mothership over these Spring and Summer months..

And how familiar and stamped you are into ALL of our our collective DNA

I’m just plain proud

So

Where are we now?

Well
I know you aren’t here tonight, but
Somehow, no matter

We are -
And you brought us out of the wainscotting like so many
Freaky old bastards
Like so many fan boys and girls
Like so many loners and pretty things and dandies and dudes and dukes and duckies and testicular types
And pulled us together

Together
By you
Dave Jones
Our not so absent, not so invisible, friend

Every alien’s favourite cousin
Certainly mine
