Tying in with my post on why we love anything, I think. A John Lennon song, video directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Thanks to TheGlassTorch for uploading this! 4:27 minutes. Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup They slither while they pass They slip away across the universe Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting thorough my open mind Possessing and caressing me Jai guru deva om...

It was either Soren Kierkegaard or Wayne Campbell from Wayne’s World who said: “Once you label me, you negate me.” And so it goes with Sia – whose latest release, Some People Have Real Problems, was filed in the electronica section of my local record store. Sia’s career veered into the electronica territory when she [...]

A perfect mash-up of Regina Spektor and all the good parts of Fiona Apple, Australia’s sweet, sweet Lenka has left the comfort of her former band, Decoder Ring, to strike out on her own. Just a brief listen leaves you with enough to make you a fan. Lenka’s grasp on creativity is not to be reckoned with, as she makes her own music videos using mainly construction paper and crayons. Her debut album drops...

Bright Lights After Dark’s Tom Sutpen on a lesser-known earlyish work from Paul Thomas Anderson, starring then-girlfriend Fiona Apple: “Across the Universe” is a music video produced in connection with an immensely obvious and stupid movie of the late-nineties entitled Pleasantville (a film Anderson otherwise had nothing to do with); and if you have to call it something…you could say that you were...

Amid every rash, destructive, feral thing that happens in the mere four minutes of Paul Thomas Anderson's Across the Universe (1998), the overall bearing of Fiona Apple throughout is perhaps the most mysteriously compelling of all. Somehow this woman carries herself . . . within the slow-motion, monochromatic chaos that is its backdrop of epic Soda Shop vandalism . . . with neither authority nor submission;...

"Everything good, I deem too good to be true, everything else is just a bore, everything I have to look forward to, has a pretty painful and very imposing before" - Fiona Apple

I have found that an easy way to let her know you care about her is through music. Make her a cd with some of her favorite music. It is an easy way to send a message. It is cute and thoughtful. Here are a few songs that I found I liked and so did she: Easy Listening, [...]

Ah man, do I have to blog today? I don’t wanna. I’m sure I can come up with something to write, but I don’t wanna. Perhaps I would be a bit more motivated if all you people who are reading would comment, already. Just an idea. After the past two days of non-existent frog hats and butt-sniffing requests, [...]

I know I haven’t posted anything since the my final day at the office, which was June 27th. You really don’t want to hear how I was fine until the after-hours happy hour (which actually was more like five hours) when people started leaving and I turned into a blubbering idiot. And I don’t really [...]

The natives have thus far been curious and friendly, offering us something called “hotter dogs” and asking us to go “fugourselves” when we inquired as to why they [...]
