Sarah McLachlan - Fear (Hybrid Mix) from Remixed (2001) /orchestral breakbeat trance/((“Wind in time rapes the flower trembling on the vine -nothing yields to shelter it from above. They say temptation will destroy our love;the never ending hunger”Hybrid has such a distinctive, original sound… moreso than almost any other artist. It’s also an […]
There’s certainly no chance of giving a detailed rundown of all the weeks’ events in the time I’m willing to allot for that purpose. So I shall be brief, and leave the various details to fend for themselves in the wide and stormy sea of memory. Staying at school for most of reading […]
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Ship Song from Good Son (1990) /balladry/((“We talk about it all night long. We define our moral ground. But when I crawl into your arms, then everything comes tumbling down.. Come sail your ships around me.”An elegant, touching, and insightful little tune about love. Nick […]
Dave Matthews Band - The Space Between (Dj Tiësto Remix) from 12″ White Label Promo (2002) /trance/((“The Space Between the bullets in our firefight is where I’ll be hiding, waiting for you. The rain that falls splashes in your heart, ran like sadness down the window into… The Space Between our wicked liesis where we […]
Radiohead - (Nice Dream) from The Bends (1995) /rock/((“They love me like I was a brother/They protect me/Listen to me/They dug me my very own garden/Gave me sunshine/Made me happy”Pleasant, almost suspiciously pleasant coming from Radiohead.

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out from Franz Ferdinand (2004) /garage pep-rock/((“I say don’t you know/You say you don’t know/I say… take me out! “Fuckin catchy and really quite great. Not much more to say than that.))
Well, the comparative literature longest essay I’ve written so far in University, is done. It doesn’t beat the 8000 word monster I wrote for grade 12 English, and that’s probably for the best. It was probably the most enjoyable essay i’ve had to write in University so far, one of the few projects […]
Massive Attack - Safe From Harm (Perfecto Remix) from Safe From Harm CD Single (1991), The Insider (Soundtrack) (1999) /trip hop/((“I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see me looking back at you”Grandiose and driving. This one’s been a favourite of mine for a very long […]
Franz Ferdinand - Matinee from Franz Ferdinand (2004) /garage pep-rock/((“You take your white finger/Slide the nail under the top and bottom buttons of my blazer/Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties/And I’m not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes/I time every journey to bump into you, accidentally/I charm you and tell you […]
