fast as you can

Chris Thile, Fiona Apple and Jon Brion?
Collaborating?
Playing a song i adore?
If this video wasn't right up there, i wouldn't believe it was real.
Too bloody good.


I might love him and his crazy, skilful hands, just a tad.


I can't quite remember when i first heard this cover but it sparked my adoration and consequently led me to listen to Thile's latest musical outing, Punch Brothers.
Couldn't love them more.
Rather judgemental about Nickel Creek, i never gave them a chance, still haven't to be honest but i think i may have to as how i can i fully appreciate Mr Thile without going back to his roots?
Exactly.

Also:

Spy = win
I want series 2 now, the now, now, now.

An hour ago i put a t shirt over my shoulder for safekeeping while i did something else. I only just remembered it was there. The moment you realise you're ridiculous and quite possibly going senile.

taro

Ughhh, this live version of Taro is just killing me.
Here's hoping the Mercury Prize Curse doesn't fall upon this lovely bunch.

Belated fireworks.
Next year i'm definitely seeing a display, maybe even leg it to America and catch this very show.
I shall not be scuppered.
I miss the scolding ash in my eyes.

octane

One of those movies that isn't really very good but i count as an all-time favourite.
It helps that the score by Orbital is so damn good and Jonathan Rhys Meyers' presence of course.
He'll always be the definitive Steerpike in my book, it doesn't matter if anyone outshines him, he's who i see when i read the Trilogy.

And who shall be watching this on Sunday at exactly 10:35am?
That is I.
Which really means i'll record it and watch it at about 2 in the morning because my body clock is backwards and owlish.
And will i be wearing my Snarf t-shirt whilst revelling in my childhood refreshed?
As if i need to answer that.


Listening to: Mumford & Sons 'The Boxer'

ash

Today was Halloween appropriate pyjamas,

silly hats, hipster spectacles
and renting godawful movies.

My gut instinct was Evil Dead but my insides are stupid and easily swayed by just about any vampire movie in existence.
I think a horrorfest is in order tomorrow evening to make up for such poor All Hallows' Eve viewing.

I can't watch the dismembering scene in 127 hours but i'll joyfully watch creepy supernatural beings get their gore on.
Nonsensical.
