all changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. ~anatole france~ to build a home :: cinematic orchestra [ma fleur 2007] here with me :: oddway [away from the everyday 2007] [...]

I am puzzled by Sia . I enjoy Zero 7 for the most part, but seeing her live was a sore disappointment: the songs sounded pretty much the same as on the CD, and a bloody annoying stage manner meant that I should've just stayed home and listened to Healing Is Difficult . (Her website, unfortunately, is as annoying as her stage manner, with far too much space wasted on big graphics and tiny, tiny frames with frustrating scrolling mechanisms.) So she's got a new live CD coming out, Lady [...]
My workload is getting rather excessive here at uni at the moment with me having to write an 8000 word essay on Soviet Espionage (but some people like writing sh*tload), making my music taste a lttle slower than normal as I can't go out as much as I would like to. Anyway, enough of my [...]
Blondes week is over. Non-fiction week begins! I Do Not Outwardly Share This Affliction by Andrew Zornoza My grandfather died in August of 2005. I flew right out there (to Spain) because in that country the body can be interred for no more than two days. I have heard it is the same in Italy. My grandfather was a Brigadier General in the Spanish Air Force. He looked tremendously like Picasso, though his stare had [...]

When I first heard Zero 7's now-classic EP 2 in March, 2000, little did I know that nearly 6 months later, after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, that I'd revisit the record with much more necessity, using it to buffer a lot of what was happening in the world around Brooklyn. The mood was as you could expect it then - tense, frightening, nervous, melancholy - and people were collectively on edge. Music is often panacea but it was never as needed as it was after a life-altering event like that. [...]
I have a bit of a back-log of new releases to listen to, so the other night I picked up Zero 7's The Garden (which has been out for awhile now) and put it on as my bedtime music. I was not a fan of the band before; they were always just a little too chill-out and aloof for me and ended up being background music that I didn't really pay any particular attention to. While The Garden still has a
Zero 7 -- This World As a child she saw her uncle kill her father: argument, handgun, collapse. After that her life was marked by bouts of rage, depression, and spontaneous causeless joy snatched away by the slightest morbid thought: cut grass bleeding water in the hot sun, a leaf seesawing to the ground, apple seeds rotting unplanted.
