a day in the life

Drawing a knife across the wrist leaving white marks... Thinks he's worked up the courage...A door slams and he pisses his pants... Lover comes in knocks him out his chair rubs his face in it... Gets Bent over the table and fucked... Clenching the knife eyes weeping cock pulsing... Left in his lovers mess layed across the table he collapses in his piss and cries...Return to the knife and his courage fails again...

Miroir Noir.

I recently watched the film Miroir Noir by Arcade Fire on the recommendation of our newest member Spencer. I meant to blog this earlier but completely forgot. The film was in all honesty absolutely brilliant, it is basically the band playing their songs live on stage, in elevators and in other places. The video just really demonstrates how brilliant the band actually are and some of the recordings you see really do send chills down your spine. I can't really explain how good it was just seriously watch it. http://www.miroir-noir.com/ Milk the film starring Sean Penn as Harvey milk the first openly gay government official of the united states of America is definitely worth a watch. I'm not going to say much about it as i don't want to spoil it so if you want to know seriously go and watch it.

My Top 10 Albums Of All Time.

Okay, so today was the first time I'd read this blog, and if I'm going to be blunt the quality of the posts really surprised me, surprised me to such an extent that through incredulity I almost instantly wanted to be apart of it. This will be my first post, and possibly the last, depending on how the "owners" of this blog feel about my writing, and if they like it, I'll be happy to write again.
I decided to keep my first post as innocuous as possible, and base its subject on something that the writers of this will be able to relate to on a direct way. The subject being my top ten albums of all time. I began this article with a large introduction to what we now define as "Indie" music, its content had spanned a good 1,000 words, so I thought I'd paste it into a word document and keep it for a possible future post, as together with this article, readers may well be preyed upon by alsimus, dementia, incontinence or any other medical defect that pairs itself with old age.
So here it is, my top ten of all time. It may sit well in the musical stomachs of some, others may find it massively ignominious, enjoy.

10. FROG EYES- GOLDEN RIVER.
Maybe you've read a story that follows this plot line: a generally well-liked but socially nondescript protagonist searching for meaning in his/her life encounters a rambling madman who changes their perspective of the world forever. The madman could be homeless, or strung out on drugs, or an outlaw on the lam, or any number of other scenarios that might drive a man toward insanity – but their reckless rambling inevitably triggers an epiphany in the restless protagonist. The moral of the story is you've got to come a little unhinged to be worth anything in this world – the faceless nobodies are just as tragic as the madmen, and the most admirable personality probably lands somewhere in the middle. This is a story most amateur writers try to craft at least once – mostly because artists like to frame themselves as wild, misunderstood beasts of meaning.
It is only against this backdrop that I can begin to explain the allure of Frog Eyes. If you have not heard them, get this album, they may well warp your musical taste to irreparable proportions.

9. DEPARTMENT OF EAGLES- IN EAR PARK.
Some of you may have heard "Grizzly Bear" a New York based group that play with the likes of Beirut and Final Fantasy. Department Of Eagles are a side project from Grizzly Bear, and in my opinion are far more substantial with their sound. Department Of Eagles deliver Grizzly Bear's melancholic sound but mix in a healthy amount of pop to really bring the band members visionary look at indie music into the light. With punchy double bass and one of the largest cases of reverb-itis I've ever heard , this record will sit happily with me for a long time to come.


8. BELLE & SEBASTIAN- IF YOU'RE FEELING SINISTER.
Belle & Sebastian's second record, If You're Feeling Sinister, is, for all intents and purposes, really their first, since their debut in 1996 was not heard outside of privileged inner circles. And If You're Feeling Sinister really did have quite a bit of an impact upon its release in 1996, largely because during the first half of the '90s the whimsy and preciousness that had been an integral part of alternative music was suppressed by grunge.
This album was an instant favourite for me from the first time I heard it. That 60's acoustic sound that hadn't really been fully exploited in modern music had finally been capitalized on and to see the least I became slightly obsessed with this band. Stuart Murdoch's lyrics follow the style of folk like storytelling which is particularly prevalent in this album. I don't think there are many other CD's in my collection that are better to wind down to than this one, and in my humble opinion this is without doubt Belle & Sebastian's best work.

7. ARCADE FIRE- NEON BIBLE.
The beauty of this album is the simple fact that it was self produced, in a church, in temperatures of up to minus 10, 50 miles outside of Montreal. Arcade Fire have always had the ability to create a massive sound, from their first EP that impending rumble has trickled out of the cracks and finally materialised in this record. The record begins with "Black Mirror", and the rumble starts, in comes the heavy, low piano and the 80's style drums and Win Butlers ghostly howls and you're more or less frozen in time until that church organ resonates its final chord on "My Body Is A Cage" and you sit in the silence, and if you're like me you usually go back to the first track and let it take you for a ride again. Easily one of the best records I have ever heard and probably ever will.

6. CAT POWER-MOON PIX.
This album is majestic in every sense of the word. As far as singer/songwriters go Cat Power will probably always be my favourite. She manages to create such a deep sound, with only a guitar with a bucket full of reverb and her Grace Slick style voice. I can only describe this album as a journey into Chan Marshall's dark, dark mindset, and is by far the deepest record, both musically and emotionally of her career. I'm particularly fond of her cover of Bob Dylans "Moonshiner", which really highlights the dark places this album can take your ear drums.



5.WOLF PARADE- APOLOGIES TO THE QUEEN MARY.
Wolf Parade's debut album was put into the spotlight for largely the wrong reasons, such as the fact that is was produced by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse. Wolf Parade have masses of talent and it is made evident in the sheer amount of musical projects each of the members have under their wing, with ties in Frog Eyes, Sunset Rubdown, Handsome Furs and Swan Lake, all Montreal based bands. This record has a pretty ghostly feel to it, but sounds thick and full and the more you listen to it the more and more of Spencer Krug's lyrics flake away, slowly revealing the meaning behind each song. Using a complex set up of instruments including large electronic influences, Wolf Parade gave indie music a handjob, collected its semen and injected it straight into the womb of the likes of The Knife and hoped for a child, and the child was born, and it sounded really, really good.

4. ANIMAL
COLLECTIVE-MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILLION.

I first heard this record only a week ago but has only been released this year, and after the last track faded out it became one of my favourite albums I'd ever heard. It also came in a really cool folder thing which also works as an optical illusion (look at the picture on the left). I've been following Animal Collective for about 4 or 5 years, and I'd been waiting for this CD with pretty high expectations. I wasn't disappointed. Animal Collective are easily one of the most experimental bands I've ever heard, and I could argue that their experimentalist style rendered their music inaudible to some people, but this record has Finlay made their music acceptable to a bigger audience. Yes, it may be the bands more "pop" record, but they haven't changed their style, they've rearranged everything they've explored and spat out an order of things. Buy this CD.

3.EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY- HOW STRANGE, INNOCENCE.
If you're looking for a cinematic experience through music then look no further. Explosions In The Sky manage to create vast, sonic landscapes with their music which I find really consuming. The band follows the post rock style, with only instrumentals but this does not degrade their music in any way, in my opinion it opens new doors, and allows them to tell a story without the use of lyrics. Their songs cruise at a mellow rate for minutes on end, but the guitar parts are often so captivating it is nearly impossible to lose interest and you hang onto every note, and can almost see them floating past you. The songs kick in and a heavy, intense sound often fills the room, yet this heavy isn't as grossly atavistic as other "heavy", it's calm, it's tranquil, yet it still kicks the shit out of your eardrums. I'll never get bored of this album.

2. NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL- IN THE AEROPLANE OVER THE SEA
Massively ahead of their time, Neutral Milk Hotel reign as one of my favourite bands of all time. They paved the road for a variety of the artists I have already mentioned in this post, and they brought such a unique sound for the mid 90's that finally allowed alternative music to peel itself from the moody boot of grunge and start a new movement. The band had the feel of an early Arcade Fire without the political influence and sense of impending doom. Jeff Magnum strums away and bleats his vocals over a sometimes massive brass presence, and Neutral Milk Hotels huge unified sound carries you away. "Holland, 1945" and "Untitled" really showcase the bands massive sound, that left the door open for many other bands to carry their sound forward.

1. ARCADE FIRE-FUNERAL.
Describing how I feel about this record will undoubtedly be difficult, but I can only try. I remember putting this CD in the player for the first time and hearing the first few delicate notes of "Tunnels" being played on the piano and being instantly devoured by it. As the song really began I was completely taken back, the sound that this band had found was something I felt was missing from music and the equilibrium has finally been found. The ghostly, almost ancient sound of Arcade Fire is celebrated in this album. Each track melts into the next, and that massive military style sound drags you with it, marching you through every verse and chorus. Listening to this record makes you feel a part of something. Each member of the extensive group contributes something unique to the track, from the arching sound of violins to the continental feel of the accordion. If you haven't listened to this album from start to finish, you're a fucking idiot.


Thanks for reading.
-Spencer.

Fashion Tip #7

Suicide is pretty popular and to be fair most people have got a reason to kill themselves even if you don't think so I could probably see a flaw in you that cannot be solved without you ending you're life. So you might be thinking if I kill my self I want to be remembered. Very true to be remembered you should end you're life the same way as a famous musician.

5. If you want to keep it simple and punk-ish then you could take Sid Viscious's route and get your mother to gave you a lethal dose of smack.


4. If again you want your particapation in the suicide to be minimal you could go the Kurt CObain way and let you girlfriend kill you and make it look like suicide


3. If your a psychopath you can always do a Johnny Ace. Johnny Ace was a rhythem and blues musician who decided one day between sets he would play russian roulette and after the hammer fell twice on an empty chamber sparing the lives of his girlfriend and her frien he then placed it too his own head and blew his brains out.


2 Ian Curtis is only second because I could think of better albums to listen to than 'The Idiot' before hanging myself. Although it is good


1. If your feeling ballsy you can go the Elliott Smith way and stab yourself in the heart twice.

The weirdest person in the world?

A while ago I was lurking myspace as I do often due to having nothing to do during the day and having an aversion to sleep and I found the most terrifyingly weird person in the world. He's up there at least anyway.
This is me and my cat Milly I took at Sears for my Cristmas cards.
His name is Alan Mills. He loves cats. He may or may not engage in sexual intercourse with his cat.
A brief look at his profile proves that he is blatantly mentally disabled.
He claims to be currently studying to be a private investigator but currently works at a Walmart where he has recently been promoted to head of the paint department which is good but the fact he now gets to wear a white coat now is the cherry on top.
I first came across this cat fucking downy when I was reading lindsay lohans blog... and I noticed His picture and when I managed to concentrate I noticed he had left her about four hundred comments asking why she hadn't returned his letters and if she liked cats. I decided I obviously needed to send him a friend request naturally.

Then after abit more lurking I found a girl who he claims to be going out with this babe

Kelly-Jo is a 40 year old mother of two beautiful children and aspiring gourmet gourmet, health freak, supermom and athlete. Proving forty is never too young to dream and you should never let go of your aspirations Kelly-Jo is an inspiration to all. A photo of a children which I can't get large enough to be worth posting clearly shows her children are Asian though so I think Alan is probably ruled out as the father.

She has since told Alan they were never more than friends he says he says he's sorry about this and still has feelings for her although he isn't that worried as 'I hurt my head and i have a new girlfriend i think i hope you are good. Alan forever the player wasn't down for long.


Many of you may think by now this post is harsh and mocking the disabled is harsh and I did for a little while that's why I didn't blog him immediately then this happened and I couldn't restrain myself any longer.

Slack beyond belief.


Well i've been pretty slack of late so here comes a post of basically the last week or so.
On saturday of last week i went into town with a few people from school and we found a pretty cool 1950's style American diner, it was pretty nice but it had the stangest menu ever with nearlly everything on it named after some sort of American star. Above is a picture of Ethan under James Dean. 
We then headed up to the Haymarket and on the way there was some crazy Catholic woman shouting and asking if everybody was "strong enough to be a Christian," so some crazy chav woman ran up to her kicked one of her legs about 4ft in the air and said" if i want a cock inside me i'll fucking have one" she then went to describe how it would happen to this poor old woman. 
The shit got pretty real when a large group of people surrounded this woman and chanted "evil" at her for about 5 minutes. 
Nothing other than that has really happened. 
Oh i lie, i went to a gig on Sunday night and this large drunk bald man spent all night putting his arm around my neck and shouting "it's all about the crack" he would then disappear for about ten minutes then it would all happen again.
Not stoked.
