time flies and i'm back in sydney revising for next week's exams, with the first one in only 3 day's time. summer courses have started - a semester's work condensed into 8 weeks with a 2 week christmas break.
it's taken a while but i've fallen in love with the slow-burning high violet. on the first few listens it hardly grabbed attention as it didn't seem to have very much going for it, just another collection of dour rock songs with little spark, nothing spectacular. now it seems as if they've captured the essence of each song, with an ebb and flow that transports you from start to finish. the drum riffs especially strike me, simple yet sophisticated.
so it's a shame that i decided not to pick up the national tickets while they were still up for grabs. but of course. both january sydney shows are sold out.
some of the saddest lines i've come across there.
but i
won't follow you
into the rabbit hole
i said i would but then i saw
your shiver bones
they didn't want
me to
i am however going to see the wonderful violin looping virtuoso owen pallett on 19 jan as part of the sydney festival. there's just the one song that i NEED to hear him play.
many lives ->49 mp (for superb audio quality)
many lives ->49 mp (interspersed with bach partita)
and some radiohead, just to brighten up your day, you know?
in pitch dark
i go walking in your landscape
broken branches
trip me as i speak
just cause you feel it
doesn't mean it's there
