come on shine your sun
Posted by GMR on 5/24/2008

hello and big up to you.
my last weekend in la before the travels.as some of you may know,it's a big day on monday so here's hoping the weather holds so that we can have some serious fun outside.
i just got back from breakfast and a visit to culver city for some errands.
a ton of photographers today for some reason.such an unsubtle way to travel.
the police came to help out-sirens and everything-but there's nothing to be done-
it's useless madness.
i noticed across town some posters for the record.which is ironic.i have always loved posters and every single record i have ever done,i have asked for them-and never got them.
i love seeing who has records out etc.as you sit at traffic lights and whatever,and so now in this current climate,i didn't even bother asking-and there they are.
is there a lesson in that?
i see weezer has a new record too.nice.
i went to amoeba records the other day and stocked up good and proper.long overdue.
i'm listening to nick cave and the bad seeds as i write this.
top form.
there's a song called moonland on this new record,with the excellent lyric-
"i'm not your favourite lover"
wicked.that man's on fire.
also finally got portishead-dark and darker.
also....calla,eno/cale-wrong way up,justice,goldfrapp,the klf(gotta have a copy here),bonnie prince billy,cat power,frank black(i lost my other cult of ray)grinderman,ashes divide(c'mon billy)jack johnson so i can catch up,cornelius,autechre as it is out of print ,ellen allien,death cab,and that's about it.
i love checking the artwork.
listening to the record as it was intended and reading along.
that's the way i like to do it.
it's how we want you to do it-
will you try?
i see that tim noble and sue webster did the neon sign for the cover of the bad seeds.
i like those guys a lot,they used to do those crazy piles of rubbish that when illuminated,created these sharp focus sculptures of them both against the wall.
brilliant.
check them out.
i have a ton to listen to.
better wake the neighbours.
or help them,i wonder what people around here listen to.....
anyhow,man utd have won everything-
the lakers are winning(i know very little about basketball)
and the sun is trying to come out.
come on.
just a little more.
and hang around some time
