out out out

The patient is a chronic musicophile presenting with severe love sickness. The Skints
couldn't have put it better :) So let's stay positivo as Tuesday has almost passed.  



Please meet the director of the video Chris Hugall.

friday line | skyline

To sum up the International Jazz Day let's tune into Portico Quartet's world. Just like Friday. Line. Abbey Road. Skyline.



The absence of snow was sensational. To hold a cigarette without wearing gloves, to reveal one's whole face to the air! Howard rarely felt moved by an English skyline, but today just to see an oak and an office block, outlined by a bluish sky with no interpolation of white on either, seemed to him a landscape of rare splendour and refinement. Zadie Smith, On Beauty

spectacular

Tuesdays are usually quite odd. But yesterday was spectacular. Graham's birthday.

standstill

Bruner says she was inspired by the tug of war between our animal instincts and the need to conform for survival. "I thought it would be exciting to have animals star in a story that looks to explore the conflicting desires that stem from wanting to develop culturally, which at times can lead to feelings of frustration and confinement, while also needing to tend to our basic primitive longings." (via npr.) Hem's new album is out in April.



Please meet the director of the video Jordan Bruner. Animation credits go to Greg Lytle and Jordan Bruner.

every artery’s clogged as you pull the belt tight
and this tourniquet turns even tighter until
traffic comes to a standstill
we come to a standstill
I come to a standstill

reminiscences of the sun

I have somehow forgotten almost totally how it feels when the sun is around. Luckily there is Lianne that can bring beams of light to this neverending winter and Tuesday. Good. Night.



The video was directed by Colin Solal Cardo from Blogotheque.

all too familiar when it feels wrong

a good (night) song from Woman's Hour

Soothing the effects of Tuesday with Woman's Hour. Unmistakable. Good.



I wasn't certain what had happened to me. My experience most closely mirrored the "eat me, drink me" scene in Alice in Wonderland. I tried to access her restrained and curious reaction to her own psychedelic trials. Patti Smith, Just Kids

orange cup

Morning tea and overcoming the obstacles of Tuesday. Here's a perfect remedy for that: Paula and Karol and a piece of a soothing animation. Good. Vibes. Good. Day.

dresinen | draisine

I was reminded today that Norway has some good music to offer. That, combined with our moshi moshi family, gives a satisfying result for this Tuesday evening: Casiokids served chilled and animated. Oh, and let's not forget about learning Norwegian: dresinen | draisine :)



Please meet the creators of the video Seb Burnett and Joe Wood from Rumpus Animation.

consequences | awkard places

I got some nice yellow energy today, finally got myself a tiny, tiny, tiny notebook that I've always wanted to have and at the end of the day reminded myself of this band: Reptar. Did I mention this already? Oh yes, I did. And all that happened on Tuesday. Good. Night.



and all the consequences spent to all the awkward places
sent to all the awkard places I am too

after 27 | still 27

Twenty-seven days of August loaded with a lot twists. Now all behind. Managed to solve a few mysteries of today, fought back successfully Tuesday's boredom. All with good people around. Now closing the day and happy to discover another collaboration of  Them Bird Things with Lawrence Dolkart. They match. Excellently.



See more works of Lawrence Dolkart here and read more on Robert Johnson here.

when you got a good friend
that will stay right by your side
give her all of your spare time
love and treat her right

next summer

It's been a surprisingly great Tuesday given the fact I have a pretty unidentified problem with this day. Even newspapers were more interesting. Although it felt in the morning that summer had really overslept today. I have been striving for some light the whole day. Here it comes: Slow Club. Accurate and unmistakable, as usual. They never let me down.



The video was directed by Charles Watson, Suze Olbrich and Mike Bradley and edited by Sarah Grant from London Sessions Productions.

I know I will be saved, 'cause I always have believed
that there's something more for me when I go.
And there's a city that will heal me and help me clear the lumps out of my throat.
I think that next summer, if we're all still alive, you should try,
we should try to jump into some water and focus on getting high.

tango in Arkadia

The good feeling of Tuesday just kept on continuing yesterday. In the afternoon I could see and pictured the joy of people embracing the passion of tango in the best bookstore in town: Arkadia. What a day!



Meet the neo tango masters : Tanghetto.

neglected spaces

Yesterday was an amazing Tuesday. I have this weird attitude towards that day. It's such a soulless day. Even newspapers are somehow less interesting. Tuesdays have no passion in them. But yesterday was far from that. By a very fortunate stroke of luck I was able to watch live concert streaming from Sydney Opera House where Imogen Heap presented her songs from the upcoming album she's been working on since March last year. The Heapsongs! She gave an outstanding performance and took me into the spiral of sounds she created. I forgot what a great storyteller she is! The story that stayed vivdly within me was the one of abandoned places that inspired her to write the Heapsong number 3 - Neglected Spaces. The video was illustrated live by Sara Maycock (who is responsible also for Tom Williams and The Boat album's cover).




If you stand up for me, I'll stand up for you.
(...) If you'll take care of me, I'll take care of you.If you be good to me, then I'll be good to you.

Oh... I'm a story in mourning, and you're the author
So pour out your masterpiece.

Entropy increasing, how long before I'm dust?

Can we discuss?
