this is some crazy ass shit right here...
tyler the creator... he's awesome...
this is also awesome...
okay, so i started painting...
this must be a mid-life crisis thing... i have taken up painting... after 40 years of living in of fear of the paintbrush i am embracing it... i feel out of control... there is no delete key... no rubber tool... this is my first one... i have nearly finished another... i think, like my music, they will be a little bit rough around the edges, kinda funny, but with slightly disturbing elements bubbling under the surface...
we will see...
awesome video
"Shine" by "Final Placement" (Original Video) from F.P. Shine on Vimeo.
i just came across this on the cheese on toast website... epic video and song combo...
madonna annoys the f@#kin' shit out of me these days...

nirvana albums as ranked by NME

warhol & burroughs at the chelsea hotel
this is all kinds of cool... i love how warhol has got his walkman on... only he would wear a walkman while in the pressense of william burroughs...
more lana...
she's getting paid out for this performance...
i think it's cool... she kinda reminds me nico...
it sucks how people are picking on her because for one thing she can't sing like adele... but why the fuck are they comparing her to adele anyway? it's so lazy to make that comparison, just because they are two girls... it's like saying lou reed can't sing like elton john or something... yeah, duhhh... no shit...
we are so sucked into that american idol x factor shit where people have to hit the notes in a certain way to get anywhere, that when someone comes out who is kinda quirky and goofy, people just don't get it... they won't, or don't ever want to try and understand... like if bob dylan came out singing with no geetar on american idol auditions he wouldn't make it through to hollywood week...
lana del rey likes kurt cobain... thats good enough for me...

lawrence nilsson
as i watched the absolutely f@#king brilliant 'who is harry nilsson' documentary the other night, one of the things that struck me, apart from the total genius of the man, was his striking resemblance (in my mind) to that of one of my favorite singers, mr james milne, or songwriting genius in his own right, lawrence arabia... although much younger, of a more slight build, not as drunken (that i know of) and from christchurch, not brooklyn, every now and then in the film i had to snap out of the fact that i wasn't watching a 'who is james milne' documentary...
so in true stalkerish fashion, i have pieced together these images to prove that i was not (or maybe i am) going totally mad...
i only hope that if oneday mr arabia comes across this blog posting, it does not make him want to cross the street the next time we might happen to bump into each other...
here is the doco in bits but in full... gotta love youtube...
