The Sound Of Sea Animals

The Sound Of Sea Animals is Etienne Chan Kane's (Guitars and vocals) band from Montreal.

''Like fellow Quebec indie rockers Karkwa and Bonjour Brumaire, multi-instrumentalist/lyricist Etienne Chan Kane has an obvious affinity for British pop—in this case, lush, psychedelic, Abbey Road-era Beatles. Chan Kane differs from his peers by singing entirely in English, a unique choice given his rather thick French accent and pedestrian knowledge of the language. Fractions and Fictions is almost too ornate at times—with subtle strings, woodwinds, jangly tones and moody pianos/synths. Chan Kane’s troubles with pronunciation and syntax as he tells the confusing tale of the Thomas family don't derail this ambitious concept album.'' - Erik Leijon

I HEART THIS BAND!!!

live along some distant day into the answer

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
— Rainer Maria Rilke

unattainable

Little Joy - Unattainable (DUMBO Session West)

Only when the goal is unattainable
Do I start to feel like I'm losing myself
And this deep secret
that hasn't come out yet
is burried, down deep
with the rest

I can't coarse you into this one
Jealousy lay all your spells to bed
I'll choose long-loved instead

If only songs we're sung
To guide the doubtfull ones
Beyond the rough
where not as much is good enough
Oh if you find yourself
for once a lonely one
I'll be waiting here with open arms

...

oh mr. pitt.

s and i stay together

Suede- Stay Together
come to my house tonight
we can be together in the nuclear sky
and we will dance in the poison rain
and we can stay a while in heaven today

let's stay together
let's stay, these days are ours
let's die together?
two hearts under the skyscrapers


come to my arms tonight
just you and me together under electric light
and she will dance in the poisoned air
just you and me forever by the motorway there

let's stay together
let's stay, these days are ours
stay together
two hearts under the skyscrapers

there's a time bomb in the high rise
there's a blue suburban dream
will i see you up in paradise
or have you come to catch me?

come to my arms i'm lost
just you and me together in the year of the horse
single file in the nuclear night
and we could feel a little closer
as we tumble through the sky

let's stay together, let's stay these days are ours
let's stay together
two hearts under a skyscraper
let's stay together, let's stay in this broken down love
let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers

A Silent Effort In The Night

Louisville ...sounds like 'a secret appointment in the forest between words, abstract sounds, and guitars incarnations', French, haunted. x

'Felicia Atkinson is a multimedia artist who does sound, writing, drawing, and performances. she is involved in two other musical projects, one with sylvain chauveau and the other one, stretchandrelax (on nowaki records) with elise ladoue. she made performances in different places such as at la fondation cartier, paris, the knitting factory,new york or the sala rossa, montreal.' (via)


Also found this in Louisville's Blogspot.

"Once I dreamed I was on a gorgeous ocean liner, all pale, gilded, rococo as a wedding cake. There was smoke in the air, people were drinking and gambling. I knew the ship was on fire and we were sinking, slowly.
They knew it too but they were very gay, dancing and singing and kissing, a little delirious. There was no hope. I was terribly elated. I could photograph anything I wanted to.

Nothing is ever the same as they said it was. It's what I've never seen before that I recognize.

there is an old joke about a man who goes into the bar and he sees that the bartender has a banana in his ear so he says, "Hey, you have a banana in your ear", and the bartender says " speak louder please, I can't hear you because I have a banana in my ear. "

Nothing is ever alike. the best thing is the difference. I get to keep what nobody needs.

A photograph is a secret about a secret. the more it tells the less you know. "

Chelsea Hotel No 2

Chelsea Hotel No 2
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
you were talking so brave and so sweet,
giving me head on the unmade bed,
while the limousines wait in the street.
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
we were running for the money and the flesh.
And that was called love for the workers in song
probably still is for those of them left.

Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
you just turned your back on the crowd,
you got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don't need you,
I need you, I don't need you
and all of that jiving around.

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."

And then you got away, didn't you babe...

I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
that's all, I don't even think of you that often.

I dream that I have brought
To such a pitch my thought
That coming time can say,
"He shadowed in a glass
What thing her body was.'
For she had fiery blood
When I was young,
And trod so sweetly proud
As 'twere upon a cloud,
A woman Homer sung,
That life and letters seem
But an heroic dream.

I got caught in a storm.
And carried all way
I got turned
Turned around.
I got caught in a storm.
That’s what happened to me.
So I didn’t go.
And you didn’t see me for a while.
I was rising up
Hitting the ground.
And breaking.
And breaking.

I got caught in a storm.
Things were flying around.
Doors were slamming.
And windows were breaking.
And I couldn’t hear what you were saying.
I couldn’t hear what you were saying.
I couldn’t hear what you were saying.
I was rising up
Hitting the ground.
And breaking.
And breaking.
Rising up.

How would you describe your style/aesthetic?

I am uneasy with the word style, however I will say that I approach my work in certain ways. With portraiture, it is important for me to record the aura, and yet still show a likeness to the physical aspects that people are familiar with. This sometimes can lead to creating order out of chaos, which I love… And with my figurative work, I have been using the body as a tool for working out equations in my head. I am trying to explore various dimensions and the negative space; I enjoy what a painting says in its empty spaces. And there is a lot going on in the negative space of my work, although I’m not sure if anyone else can see it

What was your very first job?

Selling ice cream, I think… I try to forget.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Growing beyond space and time and aging like a fine wine.

And who are you going to see?
And where, where will you go?
And how will you know,
You didn't get it all wrong?
Is this the light of a new day dawning?
A future bright that you can walk in?
No it's just another Monday morning.

依然美麗

Veronica by Mary Gaitskill

p.13
在夢裡，彷彿陌生人是在替一些更重要的人傳遞訊息，那些人出於某些原因無法和我說話。或者一般規則裡重要的人-家人、親近的朋友-只是些次要的附屬品，而表面上的陌生人其實才是我們所真正所愛，只是隱藏在人生的怪誕偽裝中。

p.93
有時候，阿朗和我還是會睡在一起。他會在清晨天還沒亮時走進我房間。他會彎下腰不斷親吻我，他粗糙的外套摩擦著我。他冰冷的雙手撫摸我的臉，輕聲跟我說話，聲音小得我聽不到。我想我聽到他說：「對不起，對不起。」他醉得好厲害，雙眼終於平靜下來，腫腫的，安靜棲在他的腦袋上。他會躺在我旁邊，我會吻他的手和太陽穴，隨著他衣服上的夜寒空氣而顫抖。他會回吻我，摸摸我的身體，然後睡著。我會背對著他，然後把他一隻手臂拉過來環抱著我，保持那姿勢。清晨的微風吹的遮光簾不斷輕敲窗框。陽光從遮光簾下爬進來，越過地板。想到那是我許久以前跟貓一起在餐室地板上看過的那個太陽，感覺好奇怪。

p.110
「你現在不一樣了。」莎拉說。「你在屋裡走動，好像單獨走在沙灘上。好像那裏沒有別人，只有你一個。」

p.121
我扣上大衣釦子，讓自己出汗。我試著想別的事情。我想到以前聽過的一個訪問，一個信教虔誠的人得了兩種癌症。那個電台主持人問她是否曾向上帝祈禱治癒她。她說她祈禱了，但是沒用。等她明白自己快死了，她問上帝為什麼沒有治癒她，然後上帝回答了。她真的聽到上帝的聲音。祂說：「但我就是在治癒你啊。」

我不是信教虔誠的人，但如果我聽到了，我會在心裡說是的。我現在就說了出來。不知道為什麼。有個原因，但我不明白是什麼。

p.153
薇若妮卡的好多故事都粗俗卻感傷。又有一回，她告訴我曾被一個闖入她公寓的男人強暴。他說他要殺了她，但她說服他放棄了。「我告訴他：『如果你殺了我，你就不光殺了一個人而已。你等於也殺了我的父母。他們很老了，要是知道他們的女兒是這麼死的，他們一定活不下去。』」他聳聳肩攤開雙手，像個講笑話的喜劇演員。「結果他就不殺我了！」她吸了一大口菸，往後靠回椅子上，背後襯著黃昏一大片紅霞的天空。「他非常溫柔。」她的聲音低沉：變的太過火、太寬容，簡直是有點沾沾自喜了。「強暴我的人非常溫柔。」

聰明人會說：她以那個方式說那個故事，是因為他想控制那件事。因為她希望否定其中的痛苦，甚至讓自己不這件事影響。這個說法大概是事實。聰明人也會說：感傷往往象徵著缺乏感情。或許這也是事實。但我很確定她真心覺得那個強暴者很溫柔。如果他整個人曾有任何一絲溫柔，比方關於他母親的記憶，關於他小時候，關於某件玩具，她當時就會感覺到的，因為她極度渴望那麼一絲溫柔。即使那對她一點幫助也沒有，她也會尋找，像伸手要撈起一個沉入深塘的東西。我會望著月亮，但我會看到你。

p. 191
本質上，那是一種男女關係。我們喜歡同樣的東西-電影，藝術。我們在一起，可以表達一些埋藏在心中的東西-我不太清楚那是什麼，但我一直在想。有時候，感覺上好像我是個他必須一再擊倒的東西，但我又會一再跳起來。他需要這樣，我也需要，再度跳起來。

p.221
我跟一個叫克里斯的做，他三十五歲，以前當過模特兒，那張迷人的臉像個還沒長大的男孩。他的金髮垂在眼前。他穿著白長褲和粉彩色夾克。我曾在夜裡醒著躺在床上想他。我們接吻時，我覺得充滿希望又快樂。我們吵架時，我會哭。現在我心底最記得他的事情，就是他拿著代糖的糖包輕敲咖啡碟的帥樣子，還有他盤裡的食物大部分都沒吃。他很瘦，乍看之下比他真正的歲數年輕很多。他的眼睛很年輕。但有種僵硬感出現在他的嘴巴和頸部和胸膛，而且老，非常老。有天在一家小餐館，我說了些話，他靠過來，眼神充滿柔情。一時間，他的僵硬感顫抖了，想隨著感情而移動，然後又消失了。

幾年後，我因為人生破碎而躺在床上哭泣時，克里斯來到我身邊，感覺強而有力像在做白日夢。他靠向我，充滿柔情。他沒顫抖。他的嘴巴不僵硬了，而是充滿生命力而緊實，他的脖子好柔軟。他的胸膛散發出溫暖，深情的成分大過肉慾。我覺得好舒服，心情平靜下來。在現實人生中，我們冷漠地分手，後來再也沒說話，甚至不再看對方一眼。然而，我相信他無論如何會來到我身邊。

Michael Pitt

Yves Saint Laurent's fall 2009 men's show in Paris opened with a short film directed by photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. It consists of only a full-frame shot of Michael Pitt's face as he listens to an unseen woman talk to him erotically about clothes. "I lift up the T-shirt that peeks out from the sleeves and see underneath, you're stark naked," she rasps in French. "You dream of me rubbing your feet... I raise the veil from your leather belt and discover where your firm, flat stomach begins. Trousers which, though baggy, fall perfectly straight." I dig it.

Just keep telling yourself you can manage it.

For nothing now can ever come to any good.

''He was my North, my South, my East and West,

風箏

井上靖《風箏》
孩子們在野外一個接一個地放起了他們的風箏。疾風吹送，全都搖搖擺擺地上升。只有我的那個放不起來。雖然我也急急地扯著線，它還是一頭栽下，跌進霜中，插入田間黑黑的泥土。

我遠逝的童年，風將閃耀的冬日的白色陽光吹散，我正回憶著你。現在我才知道我想放起的本不是風箏而是寂寞。不，不是寂寞而是死亡。我在疾風中放起死亡。而後我奔跑在田野的稻樁間，拾起那殘酷地摔破了的死亡。

This might be my fav of late.
