Grasping How to Reach

Posted on December 28, 2006 by damon

Being a collection of songs representing the most favourite of songs enjoyed in 2006 (not necessarily, but principally, being songs originating in 2006).

This disc sort of has a theme, but definitely has a flow. It starts off gentle, ramps up in intensity, gets rather forceful, eases off with a bit of dance-club frivolity, and then enters into a sweepic streak of cinematic epicosity where you get self-actualized and have suns exploding in your heart.
I also found that a lot of the songtitles seem to go together… having to do with time and loss and new beginnings. but that is almost purely coincidental.

MP3 – 56 kbps

1. Shearwater – Nobody
2. Califone – The Orchids
3. Bonnie “Prince” Billy – Strange Form of Life
4. Augie March – One Crowded Hour
5. Baby Eagle – Some Things We Lose
6. The Decemberists – Culling of the Fold
7. Band of Horses – The Funeral
8. TV on the Radio – Hours
9. Killer Mike – That’s Life
10. Saul Williams – Act III Scene 2 (Shakesphere)
11. Herbert – Something Isn’t Right
12. Busdriver – Sun Shower
13. Junior Boys – In the Morning
14. Alex Smoke – 6am
15. Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté – Hawa Dolo
16. Underworld and Gabriel Yared – Happy Toast
17. Sofian Rouge – El Wahrania
18. CunninLynguists – Nothing to Give
19. Sunset Rubdown – Shut Up I Am Dreaming of Places Where Lovers Have Wings

i’ve been told about you. i’ve been waiting for you in the air’s thin

Posted on November 27, 2006 by damon

Underworld – Moaner
from Beaucoup Fish (1999) /hardball techno grind/

everyone is smiling, the smiling is pushing it around
is pushing it around like the shadows – in the evolution in the dark
and the super boys
where time is old, when time is everything, when time of all this started
as we turn to earth – earth wind and fire
get the sun in your head
black metal walls are falling
i am the hunger above your town, a little sound in a little amp
i am dubious
i am metal
i am stainless
i am milk in your plastic
i am wrapped in ribs and left alone on a full moon
where the only thing i could do lying awake on the floor at night

the ocean between us opens
the silence is indifferent

A claustrophobic muddle of bodies shoving against each other, moving across toward opposite ends. The bright white sun cursing down over their sweat and frustration. And then. There it is. Focus on. Red bandana against blurred backdrop, threading through downturned noses and cell-phone chatter. It’s him. And then. Against the tide. Body turned sideways. Slip through an opening. Next one’s too small. Wall of bodies. Quick glimpses of red. The teeming plaza. And then. Body turn inside out, shed its mass to flow above the mob. Not likely. Stuck in the wet heat. Dirty hand clawing from behind tattered cloth. Try to climb. Temporary neighbour’s knee’s not so much a foothold. Lurching. Sprawling forward. Skinned knee. Stand up. Go on. Glimpses of red. And then. It’s crushing in. Louder. Shoulder viciously in the face. Stinging, reeling. But lip curled. Teeth clenched tight. Determination. Force it now. Just force it. Through the mass of bodies tighter and tighter. Push. And then. Eyes closed. Glimpse of red. Hands out. Stance bent pressure forward. Tear the next opening. Fuck me? Fuck you. Shove back. Move it. Against the tide. Like a serrated heavy iron barricade pressing closer. Press back. Against a steady hurricane flinging insults and armpit stench. Follow the red. Keep on. Living muscle, bone and cloth, nails and butted elbows. And then. A hint of lighter air. Eyes open. At the edge. The throng behind and in front the fresh and boundless air stretching and flowing. And then breathe.

i hear in my mind all of these voices

Regina Spektor – Fidelity
from Begin to Hope (2006) /plickypop/

And suppose I never met you, suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you, suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall

Somehow you came to be in this rather peculiar place. If you look back across space and time, you seem to remember following someone here, but them being ahead and you being behind perhaps you didn’t recognize that person as yourself, if they well and truly were. And so here you are. There are these weird undulating waves of green and darker green spinning around you. And you’re standing on this small square of brick or something that seems to be bobbing as if it were floating on water, but it isn’t, and it isn’t bobbing quite properly either. It’s bobbing in high speed, almost like it was bopping. And whenever you think it should be coming up, it’s going down; whenever you think it should be going down again, it stands still for just a second. It’s hard not to feel perpetually as if you’re just about to fall into the uh green wavy stuff above and below you. So you raise your arms up for stability and as the block bop n bobs more, you can’t help but realize it must look like you’re doing the dorkiest dance ever. And the green wavys all around you will see you and think you’re weird and not want to eat lunch at your table.
You realize there’s another block a bit of a ways away. Such a bit that at certain times you could probably step on it from your current perch, but enough of a bit that you would have to be really careful. This one, the new block, is blue. In a mysterious green vortex it’s not like there’s much else to do, so you go for the step. Go! And then there’s solid brick kinda stuff under your stepping foot. Except now the two blocks are moving away from each other. And now your legs are split too far apart to properly finish your step. You might be able to grab that orange block you didn’t notice before for some kind of support. But it’s the strangest kind, because now your mooring point block brick things are circling in such strange ways that your body is twisting itself into impossible knots. Thank god it seems your limbs are now freakishly flexible. So you have no idea where you are, you’re twisted around yourself and still can’t help but worry that at any second you’ll go plunging into wherever it is that people go when they fall off of floating blocks in green vortexes. A bit of a concern, but things really probably could be worse.
