Yo La Tengo - Before We Run

Hold it in your arms, be still, pull there
I’ll hold you in mine before we run
We can start to sing, I know it’s odd
Pulling in all of this, and then we run
Running away from the end
Running away from the end
Running away to say

Orange clouds in full, the sky falls back
Before we lose our mind
Before we escaṗe … line
To fast, and wise
Slowly like the storm
And still we’re there
Running away from there
Running away from there
Running until we’re there

Helen Stellar - Newton


Helen Stellar - Our Secrets


Helen Stellar - Telescope Eyes


Helen Stellar - Panic Attack


Helen Stellar - IO (This Time Around)

Over the weekend, Le Human Being and I got to meet Clif Clehouse, the drummer from a shoegaze-y band I rather dig: Helen Stellar. Plenty of Stellas were consumed (in honor of their name, kind of...) and music geekness ensued. They rock.

• Peep more from the band here.

Joy Division - Shadowplay (excerpt)

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.

My homie Adam aka A-Lip shot me the link to this tune today. It is too many kinds of awesome!!! Plumbers of the world: Unite and take over!

I received a copy of Memoryhouse's new album today and it quickly carried up through the charts (at least for me.) Selecter rewind...

Memoryhouse - The Kids Were Wrong

Go to sleep, nothing's changing
I'll be right here by your side
Break the teens, colours fading
In the stillness of the night

You're thick-skinned, but it seems
You're hiding in daydreams
Can't find our way to the light
And when this routine ends, through nights and weekends
we'll see daylight through the blinds

Drifting in a cold state, the glowing cracks of old days
Bodies slack and pressed beneath the hour in your eyes
Fingernails and cold skin, your parent's bed we lay in
Arms outstretched to emptiness; the space you've left behind

Go to sleep, nothing's changing
I'll be right here by your side
Tear the seams, we're not aging
Beneath these trembling star-lit skies

You're thick-skinned, but you know
It's beyond our control
Shadows gleaming in our eyes
Been living a past dear, be free from those dull years
And we'll see daylight through the blinds

Trembling Blue Stars - Sometimes I Still Feel The Bruise (Live)

Per request: I filmed this video on March 26, 2003 at Fais Do Do in Los Angeles, and it features all of Aberdeen backing Bobby Wratten a.k.a. Trembling Blue Stars.

I had a bit of a tumble off my bike last night, and I'm definitely sometimes still feelin' the bruises. Ouch!

Trembling Blue Stars - Moonlight On Snow

Per request: I filmed this version of "Moonlight On Snow" by Robert Wratten a.k.a. Trembling Blue Stars and Beth Arzy from Aberdeen on March 26, 2003 at Fais Do Do in Los Angeles.

I had this one up on here before but somehow it got lost in the fire. It features Victoria Bergsman from The Concretes getting her digging-in-the-crates-and-racking on. Shoplifters of the world, unite and take over...


The Concretes - Crack In The Paint

I just got back from a long overdue bike ride and felt this song kinda fit...

Trembling Blue Stars - Half-Light

It looks so pretty as the light fails
Late November twilight
The day's about to close its shutters
On come all the street lights
And I feel a little less defined
Though the dying light can find me
Lost and feeling fragile
In the drifting there is beauty
I'll be a shadow for a short while
Sometimes you need to turn down the glare
It looks so pretty as the light fails
Faltering, departing
Stillness now resides in my sails
I'll surrender to the evening
The darkness will grow
And flow through my veins
I'll let it and let go of the reins
Let go of the reins
Let go of the reins
Let go of the reins
