The Knife

Though jose gonzales' cover rendition of The Knife's "Heartbeats" doesn't conjure up dreams of skateboarding youngsters and hot pavement in the Summer, the video for the original sure does. "sharing different heartbeats in one night." what a swell idea.

(markets won't save us)

on adverts: 'according to the imagery of ads, the most common site of happiness and freedom is the private space of the home, where, presumably, one is empowered to shape one's life (often by altering one's body). But other times and places - vacation time, travel - are equally targeted. Indeed, as advertising depicts it, society is no more than the sum total of individual buyers in search of beauty, comfort, and status through the consumption of commoditites, and freedom is no more than the right of preference, that of one brand over another. as a TV ad once put it, "Soon America will have a real choice: the new taste of Coke or the original taste of Coca-Cola classic."'

last night's Black Angels show (attended with friends Pytr, Boulanger, and MankyPants), was good fun albeit, an inadequate precursor to tonight's show. could anything touch the solid magic that's about to erupt? "do you remember the first time?" on the miniscus of a cliff, showered by the most sublime sunset at the Gorge(ous) Ampitheatre, Radiohead hit the stage. an ecstatically surreal experience, we were tear-stricken and spiritualized like a cult of teenagers being hit by an angel's voice. qui a besoin de religion? i found Radiohead. i found you.* awww, what else is there? light glowing bright inside and bursting outside of me. i float. i float. ha ha! it all happens again tonight. (astoundingly, enchantingly!) and again the night after that. and every night from here on where i, the luckiest girl ever, get to love you. radioheadingly? hee hee. - everything in its right place.
