EMPIRE

THIS IN A WEIRD WAY
 
IS AN EMPIRE
 
LET US FIGHT TOGETHER
 
A T T A C K !
 
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT
 
FIGHT LIKE DOGS. BLAP.

*SHUDDER*
 
FIRE IN MY HEART
 
COUNT ME OUT.


Right, I am going to get back on track and blog some more when I have time I'll attempt to sit my self down and empty my brain on to a plate and then sift through it, getting all the interesting stuff out and post it up here.
IT WILL TAKE TIME.
Let me explain. 
There is a lot of information clattering around the inner workings of my head and it will take long time to find anything interest amongst it. You see, simple.


Today I bought the new Feist album, Metals, today. I am yet to have a listen but I'm sure it'll be excellent, but what I have bought recently that I think I should bring to your attention.


It is FABRICLIVE.59 - Four Tet
(This is a beautiful album, I love love love it.) 
dubstep/experimental/minimal/electronic


Here is a track from the above:

Burial - Street Halo

Enjoy. Peace out. 

SWIVEL

I MUST


FREE MY MIND


MORE.


I miss this old place.


I'll be back soon.


Peace owt.

TA RA RA BOOM DA AY

So, people have been RIOTING because they can, I hear myself, and others asking one question.

WHY?

because they think they're hard done by?

because they want to?
because they have nothing better to do?
because it is fun?
I'm sure that there are many reasons for it, none of which are justified.

ANY

WAY

That is enough of that and I've a few more fisheye photos that I'm wanting to showcase, not because they are good, but just because I like them. Let's hope you like them too.

BRIAN BRAINS. TOUGH TROUGH. LEGS EGGS. SINGLE DOUBLE. RISE YEAST.

THIS IS THE GUARD CAT OF MY RESIDENCE (MEOW). 

FIELDS/CROPS/LAND/VALUE/FARMING/EXISTENCE?

THE CONTROLLER. HUMAN. ERROR ERROR ERROR.

CRACKING A MIRROR. 7 YEARS BAD LUCK. SUCKA.

TITLE? SPINE? WHO DID THIS AND WHAT IS IT?

BRICKS/CEMENT/MASONRY/BUILT/CONSTRUCTED

THAT IS ALL FROM ME.

I leave you with this. 

SBTRKT - WILDFIRE

Have fun and play safe.

peace.

SQUEAKY VIDEOS

ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR

I re-posted this by mistake, it is not new!

Well, this whole finding time to blog thing is harder than I thought it'd be, I mean, any time I do have is usually taken up with feeling tired, and lethargic. It takes a lot of effort. 


Here, below, are some more videos I took a year or two ago, some of them are rubbish, I know that, but I also know it is not about the quality it is about the content.... sometimes.

Wolf Parade

Friendly Fires

Late of the Pier

Hand

Mumford and Sons

Graham Coxon

Enter Shikari

Tractor

Music Van thing - Abysmal Racket

Fish

Driving with Foals

Metronomy

ALSO

Listen to Friendly Fires - Hawaiian Air, loving the new stuff by them.

Over and out.

          wait

          wait

          huh?

          do you mean baked?

          human?
yeep, human beans!
          stop.
stop what?
          stop with the exclamations!
you've started now!
          i blame you.
i didn't realise this was a blame game!
          well, it is.
shall we end it now?
          okay! no...


This was a conversation I had in my head been the different sides of my brain. 
I know it has been a few weeks, but I've been doing life and life can be and is sometimes rather busy, so I've been far away yet so close. MAGIC.


Anyway, I've been buying the Radiohead 'The King of Limbs' 12'' remixes which are being released at present, I believe I posted the Caribou remix of Little By Little just around HERE. 


I have for you another of these beautiful tracks, this is a Nathan Fake rmx.

Radiohead - Morning Mr Magpie (Nathan Fake rmx)

I am loving these remixes, and there are plenty more on Hype Machine and other places around the web I am sure.

Here are a few photos to finish this blog off.

This was a cracked window at the pub and I thought perhaps it would look like a cracked lens if I took a photo of it.

Well, I don't really know what this is but I just like the blue/green sky.

The Severn Bridge, the new one, in all its glory. nice in black and white as well. I like this.

Escalators are fun. Don't get shoe laces stuck. BIG step at the end. Lazy Stairs.

So. That's all for now.

Peace.

PATIENTS

There is a sign just up the road.
it reads...


The letter 'H' and below the word 'Hospital', informing you of a Hospital ahead, then on a sign below that it reads 'Patients Crossing'.


All I thought was 'Well, then can wait for me then'.


That's all I wanted to say.
peace. 

ZING ZANG

bleep.
Yo.
It's the weekend. 

Saturday night. 11pm or so.

Just had a Fifa '11 sesh, and now just telling the world.

I say the world, it's more just my world, which is significantly smaller than the actually world in which we live.

My computer had a funny five minutes earlier, it kept scrolling down. 

FIXED IT NOW. All is well.

This week has been busy, I believe Tuesday was my only night that I had nothing on, and tonight of course. Saying that, it has been a rather nice week. Thursday was my day off.

I am pretty tired so I'm thinking I'll just leave you with something I scribbled down the other night, I'm not 100% sure what I think of it, but I'll share it anyway.

Here goes, don't laugh, and shhhh.

this is a life

i don't have one

can you see that?

if you can't, relax

flip over and over

channels; waste of space

nothing on tv

i wish it was broke

that jolly box

everyone wants it

still nothing on

we can't go without

take it to our graves

wasted lives, reject soaps

we love and hate

should we go through it

it all will end

power cuts, no coal

hamster powered tv

probable hamster death

So, yeah, it's sort of about how TV is in our lives yet we don't need it and it is a waste of space but yet we can't not have one. 

Do we really want TV or is it just something 'EVERYONE' has?

I don't know.

I'll probably put some other stuff I've written up here in due course, but this is all for now.

Here is a song for you.

Africa Hitech - 93 Million Miles

enjoy this.

play safe kids.

peace out.

INSTRUCT

I've been approached by an avid reader saying I need to say something from my mind. 
So next time, I'll try and say meaningful.


peace for now.

SECONDS

Fish (have wobbly) Eyes.

So, here is some more of my first fisheye film.

I hope you like them.

I've just had a black and white film developed too.

I will put those up at a later date.

This was taken from the train to Brighton.

As was this, I think I like this one more.

Curvy Railway.

The view from my hostel in Hove.

BEACH #1.

BEACH #2 (and knees).

Getting closer! BEACH #3.

And lower... BEACH #4.

You're probably sick of the BEACH #5 by now.

This was on the CrossCountry service to Leeds.

If you're reading this... I'm Sorry.

THE TERRACE.

Time to depart. Leeds Station.

Oooh, We've got an escapee BEACH #6 down here! 

Just some foliage.

That concludes the rest of that film, next up in a few days/week should be some of my black and white film as I previously mentioned

Here's Sleigh Bells - Beach Girls just to tie up the end of this and stop.

peace.

FIRST FISHEYE

FISH TO THE EYE TO THE FISH

This is some of the first film I ran through my fisheye camera, the rest are going up at a later date, or are not worth seeing! 

First photo on the beautiful fisheye.

Graffiti wall in town.

Trees on my walk to work. (nice day)

I took a similar photo to this... just on HERE.

Bollard.

A snap from my car...

... and another.

lost.

A touch more greenery to finish.

That's all for now, some more from a couple of my June travels will be put up in due course.

patience.

Funeral For A Friend - Juneau

enjoy this.

peace out.

OKAY//ABSENCE\\EMERGE

I haven't been here for a while, I always seem to be too busy or too lazy, which isn't good.
I'm sorry.


I've got a fisheye film that I want to upload some of but my computer is rejecting my scanner, so I need to go to plan B or C.
Those being...
B. Buy/find/borrow/hijack a scanner
C. Pay Boots to do it.


I bought a fantastic record today. (...12'', if you wondered.)
Radiohead
A. Little By Little (Caribou rmx)
B. Lotus Flower (Jacques Green rmx) 


I'm especially loving the Caribou rmx, but Lotus Flower is sounding good also, and as I understand it, there are 3 more Radiohead singles/rmxs coming out in the coming months or so.

You can listen to the Caribou rmx just around here.

Radiohead - Little By Little (Caribou rmx)

I am excited for them.
I also have bought the new Bon Iver album, which I've only managed to listen to a snippet of so I can't wait to hear the whole album as it is probably a very beautiful album.


I never understand why these blogs double space all the time. 
IT MAKES NO SENSE.

Have a glance.                                                           Pentagon.

Time has arrived for my sleep time so therefore I shall leave here and return when I have some fisheye photos and it'll be delightful.

Peace out. bleep.

BATTLES

BATTLES
BATTLES

BATTLES
BATTLES
WERE AWESOME.
CAN'T WAIT FOR LEEDS.
I LOVE THEM.

SLEEP TIME NOW.

TIME TEAM FOUND ME SOME TIME

YES.
I know it has been ages and ages, but I've just not had enough time to sit down and write on here, so I'm trying to do that now. Thank you for your patience.


SO.
FOOTBALL. LOMOGRAPHY FISHEYE. RECORDS. WEATHER. 


FOOTBALL:
I have just watched the UEFA Champions League final between Manchester United and Barcelona at Wembley Stadium in London, in which Barcelona outplayed and outclassed Manchester United and won by 3 goals to one. 

So, Lionel Messi, is just incredible, some of this is just jaw dropping, I can't tell you how good it is as there isn't words to describe it!


LOMOGRAPHY FISHEYE:
I was in Urban Outfitters on Wednesday and they had Lomography Fisheye cameras for £30, rather than £45, and I just couldn't resist this bargain, the only downside is it looks like the image below.

I am now keen to take lots of photos on my fisheye. EXCITED.

RECORDS:

I have FINALLY gotten my hands onto the debut album by Battles on 12'' Vinyl, which I've been after for a couple of years, I now have it and am very pleased, it is a beautiful record.

BUY: BATTLES - MIRRORED

WEATHER:

WHERE HAS ALL THE SUN GONE?

I must get some rest before the MONACO GRAND PRIX tomorrow.

C'mon Button.

I saw this on the BBC and thought I'd share it!

Kim Clijsters hits luckiest shot in Grand Slam history?

Over and Out.

MISSING OR INVISIBLE

That was strange.
Blogger was down for a couple of hours, and upon my return I noticed that my latest blog was missing, much to my annoyance, but I've now just come on here to complain, and it is back, so no complaint is needed. I am almost jubilant. Almost.


I don't have a whole lot to say, except, I now have 4 days off, and it is my birthday tomorrow, which I haven't really given much though too.


I think you should all buy this.

IRON MAN

it's mighty cheap on the old Amazon shop thing. just click the picture.


Time for some rest. Peace out.

VIDEO MUDDLE.

I have just been browsing through files on my computer and rediscovered some videos from my old mobile phone from a while ago, so I thought I'd post them here. Most of them are from gigs I've been to but I might throw in a couple that are other things.


The quality is poor to say the least but they all tell stories and have memories, some better ones to follow at a later date.

The Dead 60's

Paul Finely as Scooby Doo

Foals

Editors

The Chemical Brothers

Lee Marable - Paper FX

The Kills

Radiohead

Train

Franz Ferdinand

Viva Machine

Decimals

enjoy.

Peace out. 

THE GRID

TRON. TRON LEGACY.
I love these films.


I had seen them both before, Tron in December of last year, and Tron Legacy in January at the cinema, and now having watched them back to back my brain isn't spinning around as much as it was after watching Tron Legacy. 


They are awesome, the visual adventures, especially in Tron Legacy, are mind blowing, the amount of time, effort, and imagination that would have been required was probably phenomenal. Admittedly, there are still probably elements of these films that I don't not understand fully, or at all, however I'm sure I'll become to understand them more after more watches! These two films are most welcome among my collection!


Now for TRON 3, I'm hoping there is going to be a third anyway, after all the speculation and teaser trailers!

OLD vs. NEW

You decide.

Peace out.

BRISTOL

Today, My girlfriend and I, we went to the Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition at the Bristol City Museum & Art Gallery, which we thoroughly enjoyed!

My personal favourite was 'Sunset Moment' by Olivier Puccia 

See it here!

I've not had much time to get on here in the past few days, not that I'm complaining about being busy, I like doing things, but I'm just saying, this is a good space to release the stuff going around my brain, and confusing me.

Here are some photos from today. 

 I saw this outside the museum and really thought it looked a bit nice, it being a Vespa and all that.

This is me, enjoying my Frappé Latte with extra cream, in Caffè Nero.

This is me, again I hear you say, in Topshop whilst waiting for my daring girlfriend, I love her.

xj?

That was today.

Also, Osama Bin Laden is dead. Thumbs up, I suppose.

And I leave you with this...

Metronomy - Peter's Pan

I love that song.

Peace out.
