V V Brown - Shark In The Water

Sometimes I get my head in delay
Feelin' so lost
Tickin' you off
Now boy you know me well
You know I'm that kind of feeler
That kind of soft, that kind of silly

But when I'm in doubt
I open my mouth
And words come out
Words come out like...

Baby there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh please believe I said
Baby there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
You better get here soon

High in the sky, the song that I'm singing
The sweet little lie
A sly wolf's cry
Yes that's what I'm bringing
Some tricks up my sleeve
For noticing me
Wouldn't cause you any harm
I just want you in my arms
I can't help, I can't help myself

Right is right
Rules are rules
But this feels more like April Fools
Just winding you up...
Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Please don't make too much of it
It ain't that serious...

Esser - Stop Dancing

This guy is really bloody good.

Pop sensibility, with a really original style.

Love the 'Headlock' video.

This song is definite album highlight... mesmerizing.

Patrick Wolf - The Bachelor

Oblivion
Wait a second...
Have you come so far,
For it to end like this?
This is the challenge;
I dare you
to take ahold of that darkness from deep down in you
Get back up
What are you so afraid of?
GET UP.

Theseus
no surrender to a lover
or the wars of the news
of many blisses to uncover
a black sail billows, the sun hits a blade
and you are hungry, you are hungry
with an appetite insatiable

The Sun Is Often Out
Was your work of art so heavy
That it would not let you live?

'Nice Teeth'

Don't hate, I had quite a good time.

New start, or just one foot in front of the other?

Sober as a judge.

And it was still good.

Why I Love Lady Gaga

On pop

Somebody shot it in the face. I don't know who, but it died. And I want it to come back (2008)

On being an artist

Even though I sing about panties and pornography and fame, I take it all very seriously (2009)

Asked what food she dislikes

I'm a pop singer - I don't like food at all (2009)

On hygienic celebrities

Paris and Nicky Hilton went to my school. They're very pretty, and very, very clean (2009)

On her grandmother

She is basically blind, but she can make out the lighter parts, like my skin and hair. She says: "I can see you, because you have no pants on." So I'll continue to wear no pants so my grandma can see me (2009)

On song-writing

It's really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you're writing about (2009)

Defining her sexuality

I am the most sexually free woman on the planet (2009)

On her skin tone

I'm fiercely tanned and very orange! (2009)

On the best-ever life lesson given her by a gay man

To put baby powder in my fringe when I get sweaty (2008)

On motivation

My mother taught me that I was capable of anything. And I believed her with a tremendous heart filled with delusion (2009)

Seeing a child imitating her on Youtube

I'm not sure how I feel about a six-year-old dancing to a song about being wasted, but she is so cute it doesn't matter (2008)

On Amy Winehouse

I will always have a very deep love for her. Because of Amy, very strange girls like me get to go to prom with very good-looking guys (2009)

On her image

The assumption is that my eccentricity is not who I really am, but it is. I have lost my mind (2009)

Insisting no one calls her by her real name

Even when I make love, they say "Gaga" (2008)

Asked her real name

Walter (2009)

On tour, updating her Twitter on her blackberry

Mental. Vomit. Bubble dreams (2009)

Looking ahead

It's kind of my secret desire, when I'm, like, 55, to become a QVC girl, selling domestic vacuums (2009)

Clearing the shit up.

I'm bored of coasting.

It's time for something decent and meaningful.

I'm not settling.

I'm not getting tired of everything.

I'm ready to get excited about something. Not dusty.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

An original Wii game from the creators of the classic horror series.
Taking cues from the original game's story, the game is set to completely remove weapons and combat from the game. A brave move, considering enemies and their appearances in set pieces for a key part of previous Silent Hill games' structure.

Taken from an IGN review, this captured my attention:
"The iPhone-esque device -- an integral component of the game -- is your one-stop hub for all the information and tools you could possibly need. The minus button brings up the device. You can dial numbers, use a camera (whose viewer shows a slowed framerate a la iPhone) to take and store pictures, check text messages and voice mail, look through your phone book, and access game options and settings. In my demo, one of the Konami reps tried to dial 911. "911, what's your emergency?" a voice asks through your Wii remote. Harry responds on-screen. There's some kind of interference, though and the 911 operator cannot hear him. She keeps asking if anybody is there and then hangs up. It's a very effective means to maintain Silent Hill's trademark sense of isolation.

What's the point of taking pictures with your cell phone? Konami showed me. As Harry approaches a dilapidated children's playground, he notices that something is off about a swing-set's color -- that it looks a bit more static than the rest of the environment. He cues his phone, snaps and picture and sees his daughter in the photograph. That, in turn, triggers a voicemail to his cell. He brings it up and listens. "Daddy, I'm hurt," the message plays. Voicemail messages like these occur regularly and both help drive the storyline and offer players guidance. Later, when the town is transforming right before Harry's eyes into something much more nightmarish, his phone rings and his daughter screams, "You have to run, daddy. You can't fight them. Run!"

Twitter

So I caved and got Twitter.



It is probably the most ridiculously pointless thing...
It's barely worth noting that you can communicate with other people on it, because a text message is less limiting, and surely only following the people you know already is slightly pointless, as there are numerous ways of doing that already?

It is feesable that you could actually reply to someone via text via twitter, even though their number is right there in your phone. It's communication doubled up and gone mad, I tell you.

Its either that, or a collection of self-indulgent sentences about how funny you are, or more to the point, why you don't have anything better to do than think about how funny you can be. I'm all about self-indulgence, so thats fine.

So then it falls down to the celebrity factor.
Yeah, maybe once in a blue moon someone minorly (or majorly) famous may reply to something you've said.

OMG you've made a connection, you are best mates with Lily Allen.

'Burial' by Rodrigo Abd

People attend a burial in San Rafael cemetery, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

'Blaze' by Amr Dalsh

A man is surrounded by a blaze at a market fire in Cairo, Egypt.

Bat For Lashes - Moon and Moon

Literally, the first half of this album can do no wrong.
Faultlessly beautiful.

Really really makes me want to play the piano again.


Lover, when you don't lay with me
I'm a huntress, for a husband lost at sea
If I had you here, I'd braid our hair together
I'd be boy and you'd be girl
Beautiful

Calling moon and moon
Shoot that big bad hand
It'll track me to your door
And I won't see you no more

When this wild world
Bears a big bad hand
pushing on my back
Do you understnad?
When I get home from being in the jungle
Where's my bear to lick me clean?
Feed my soul milk and honey

Calling moon and moon
Shoot that big bad hand
It'll drag me to your door
And I won't see you no more

I won't see you no more...
