Thanks.

You know, I understand, anyways, French is one of the most fucked-up languages in this world, but one of the most beautiful either.

Nice to see you again.

im glad you went back into the house and that you didnt keep going and something to have happened to you

Hey, always good to see you update. That first picture is great! Hehe, yes, the sea has that irresistible draw doesn't it. Especially at night. It's amazing when your that drunk and still can make important pointed decisions like "I must get to bed and not end up with the fish". : ) I almost did that before actually. In winter,when it was really clear at night, I'd go to the beach at Loch Sween in Argyll, because you'd get to see thousands of Bioluminecence in the water. Up there, there is no city light pollution in the sky to hide them. They completely light up the water in a green and blue glow. My friend and I were up there one winter and being very drunk decided to go down to the beach to try and see them. My torch ran out and I fell on the sand into the water which was cold enough to half sober me up. Urghh.
I'll try and make you a little compilation in my head now.

Piano Magic: Incurable. This track made me cry recently which suprised me a lot. It's just really moving.
Fudge Tunnel: Tipper Gore. I've been listening to so much early 90's underground things recently. Everything feels so manufactured and cleanly produced now. : ( Thank god for John peel for bringing this stuff to my ears.
Codeine: D
Seefeel: Come Alive
Painteens: Sweetheart
Trumans Water: Girler Too
Coppice Halifax: Lake Busbee
The God Machine: She Said
All the music in the Mariano Baino film "Dark Waters". Amazingly Haunting.

If you've not seen it, I totally recommend it. : )
Hope your great. Apy.

I love the sound of the sea!! When I can't sleep I sometimes imagine that I am sitting on the rocks watching the tide coming in and I imagine the sound of the waves breaking against the rocks.

I have to agree with you though; it's best not to do this while drunk at 3 am unless, of course, one happens to be a mermaid

That's quite a list of ships. John Cabot's Matthew set sail from my home city of Bristol!!

Apparently Neil sat on a cherry smoothie on his train journey home on Sunday and it went all over eveything. Sounds brutal. That Messiaen piece sounds interesting, how does it listen? Glad you liked the imaginary comp and checked some of the tracks, I thought I'd go for somethings you may not have heard, they are in no particular order. The Eno track is taken from an album called The Shutov Assembly the album is dedicated to Russian artist Sergei Shutov, and may have been composed for some of Shutov's art installations. The rest of the album is just as good. Coincidently three of the tracks have maritime reference, which was not intentional. Albatross, self explanatory, Drexciya, the whole concept behind Drexciya is something I quite like and is actually quite interesting, and the words to the Marissa Nadler track are taken from the Poe poem of the same name about a kingdom by the sea.

Have you heard the other 11 parts of that Philip Glass work? It's no mean feat for the musicans involved. Someday I hope to get the chance to see it, or at least a part of it, performed.

you are a braver soul than I.
I know that me, alcohol and open water will result in me ending up in the latter.

The sea scares me,

not for the fact of drowning, just as there's so little we know about it.

hey, you shrank yr journal before i got to respond to it. trickster.

hope you are OK. the Witchcraft show was incredible - even though they smiled the whole time and looked like they were nineteen years old - they sounded excellent. i even ran into a girl i went out with a couple times like 8 years ago and got re-connected. pretty good evening all in all.

anyway.

nice pic

elephants are such regal and majestic creatures.

and you are still ... totally grogeous and a rad artist.
<3


how goeth things?

Thank you for a fantabulous day!! Did you try that perfume out? It reminded me a bit of an overpowering version of that 'Angel' fragrance!
