Total Recall.

I hope that last post wasn’t lame. I think it might have been lame.

I don’t want to have a music review blog. I can’t write them. They can’t be written. They can only be expressed through expressive hand gestures.

Top five albums I overlook when I’m selecting my favourites, but never cease to blow my mind:

  • Boxer -- The National

    Boxer -- The National

    I forget about this one, sometimes (hey, isn’t that the point of a certain list?), but Matt Berninger’s deep voice and really off-put, gorgeous lyrics blow my mind every time I listen to it.

  • Panda Bear -- Person Pitch

    Person Pitch -- Panda Bear

    Probably the most warm album I’ve ever heard, it always reminds me of the last days of Spring, as they crackle and fade into Summer.

  • There Goes Rhymin Simon -- Paul Simon

    There Goes Rhymin' Simon -- Paul Simon

    I’d be lying if I said this being on the list, and American Tune being one of my all-time favourite songs (different list!) had nothing to do with one another. But that, along with a bunch of other folky tunes, make it a good album to relax, but not necessarily sleep.

  • The Unique -- Thelonious Monk

    The Unique -- Thelonious Monk

    Thelonious Monk standards album. Yeah.

  • Pink Moon -- Nick Drake

    Pink Moon -- Nick Drake

    Such pretty, sad, lonely nighttime-walking music. Disclaimer: can probably make you feel like you’re out for a nice walk at night without you leaving your seat.

Can I have a gossip blog?

I don’t know what to blog about.

Hello.

•April 16, 2009 • 1 Comment

If one were to glance into my blogging history, one would find several blogs, all of which are now deceased. Yes, one might even deduct from this that, because I have had such a vast number of blogs, sprawling over several different topics and themes, that I might be an “expert” at blogging.

I assure you, this is not the case.

Let’s take a look at my pat few blogs.

  1. Fake Plastic Trees — A blog about life (or something like it), which went the way of the dodo shortly after I forgot my password, due to a lack of use.
  2. March Of The Swivelheads — Arguably, the greatest blog name of all time, this ol’ bean followed the struggle of a young man in modern society. It was also extremely boring.
  3. The Small Print – What started as a photography blog, quickly transformed into a poetry blog. Alas, it ended as… nothing. I deleted it.

There was another one, too, a malgamation of all three blog archtypes, but I don’t really remember much about it, other than that I didn’t like the url, and decided to delete it too. I hope with Pictures Of Home that I can do a few things; find an outlet to post and share my creative juices (or lack thereof), whether they be with music, photography, poetry, or whatever the Hell I feel.

I think this is the part where I close my eyes, hold my breath, and take a big leap.
