Genius

Enkel men otroligt hjärtskärande musik och djupa känslor i Perfume Genius låttexter. Att han dessutom gjort allting där hemma gör ingenting.

En anekdot från NME's blogg om Perfume Genius:

"Apparently not-so-long-ago the computer that housed his entire recorded works crashed, destroying every single bit of music he'd ever worked on. Discovering this he emails his record label late at night to notify them of the situation. Promptly they begin a series of panicked attempts to get in contact with him, leaving numerous increasingly worried and exasperated answer machine messages, texts and emails for him, inquiring as to what on earth they were all going to do? To which, after some time, they eventually recieved a single, calm, collected reply, reassuring: 'Don't worry guys, I can re-record the songs. I still feel the same way.'

Perfume Genius – Learning

No one will answer your prayers until you take off that dress
No one will hear all your crying until you take your last breath
But you will learn to mind me
And you will learn to survive me

Your father before you and your sister too, your husband blah blah blah blah, you.

Perfume Genius – Mr. Peterson

My work came back from class
With notes attached
Of a place and time
Or how my body kept him up at night

He let me smoke weed in his truck
If I could convince him I loved him enough
Enough, enough, enough, enough

He made me a tape of Joy Division
He told there was a part of him missing
When I was sixteen
He jumped off a building

Mr Peterson
I know you were ready to go
I hope there's room for you up above
Or down below.

The gangsta is strong in this one

Som, vafan?! Kombinationen av grädde och juice (?) gör hela grejen too sexy! Mmm rub that belly.

Seven fields of aphelion

Det har varit en väldigt regnig lördag, Seven fields of aphelion har varit perfekt musik för dagen. Imorgon jobba lite mer och förhoppningsvis får jag också städat, jag skjuter upp storstädningen dag för dag (okej, det ser nog inte sååå messy ut här, men jag borde faktiskt städa!)...

Seven fields of aphelion är bandmedlemmar ur gruppen Black Moth Super Rainbow, förutom det otroligt vackra namnet så har de denna video som är helt fantastisk.

Från kommentarerna:

"All i do is get high on weed and listen to black moth super rainbow"

Ja, jag förstår varför...

Böcker

Jag har varit väldigt dålig på att läsa böcker på sistone, men nu tänker jag ändra på det! Kom på när jag satt i laboratoriet och väntade på en analys att jag har så jävla tråkigt, började genast tänka på böcker och hur bra det vore att ha en fin bok att läsa just då. Efter lite undersökning så beställde jag dessa från adlibris:

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies is a 1997 book by Jared Diamond, professor of geography and physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). In 1998 it won a Pulitzer Prize and the Aventis Prize for Best Science Book. A documentary based on the book and produced by the National Geographic Society was broadcast on PBS in July 2005.

Jared Diamond said an alternative title would be A short history about everyone for the last 13,000 years.[1] The book attempts to explain why Eurasian civilizations (including North Africa) have survived and conquered others, while attempting to refute the belief that Eurasian hegemony is due to any form of Eurasian intellectual, moral or inherent genetic superiority. Diamond argues that the gaps in power and technology between human societies originate in environmental differences, which are amplified by various positive feedback loops. When cultural or genetic differences have favored Eurasians (for example Chinese centralized government, or improved disease resistance among Eurasians), these advantages were only created due to the influence of geography and were not inherent in the Eurasian genomes.

Women is a 1978 novel written by Charles Bukowski, starring his semi-autobiographical character Henry Chinaski. In contrast to Factotum, Post Office and Ham on Rye, Women is centered around Chinaski's later life, as a celebrated poet and writer, not as a dead-end lowlife. It does, however, feature the same constant carousel of women with whom Chinaski only finds temporary fulfillment. In the book, Chinaski's nickname is Hank, which was one of Bukowski's nicknames. At times, Women has the tendency to become chauvinistic. But 'Women' focuses more on the many dissatisfactions Chinaski faced with each new woman he encountered. Aside from Chinaski's discontent, Bukowski added a certain comedic flair to his novel that may expose some women to the way a man sees the world.

The Master and Margarita (Russian: Ма́стер и Маргари́та) is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, woven around the premise of a visit by the Devil to the fervently atheistic Soviet Union. Many critics[1] consider the book to be one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, as well as one of the foremost Soviet satires, directed against a suffocatingly bureaucratic social order.
