I was thinking about this song all the way home on the train today and then see this video which I just learnt is a tribute to Native American preservation land.

About
I am a work in progress and this is a scrapbook of things that make my mind wander; mostly writing, books, surfing, film, photos, illustrations, music, travelling, local history, technology AND ROLLER DERBY. Some essentials: I'm right-handed, have one tattoo, seven piercings and lots of feathers and beads. My favourite cities are Rio and San Francisco. I live in England and I love to dance. I believe in wearing your dress like a rebel flag, revealing your secrets in your words, standing on the open dome of your heart and living life like this: "Let chaos reign ... louder music, more wine ... The hell with the standings ... The top rung is up for grabs. All the old traditions are exhausted, and no new one is yet established. All bets are off! The odds are cancelled! It's anybody's ball game! ... The horses are all drugged! The track is glass! ... And out of such glorious chaos may come, from the most unexpected source, in the most unexpected form, some nice new fat star streamer rockets that will light up the sky."

A friend introduced me to the Tiger Lillies last year. It is dark and twisted cabaret music and GREAT. This one, Carnival, is quite a palatable beginner.

At the moment, this tune stops and I restart it again. I’m addicted to it, especially the bit where he sings high, it feels like my heart climbed a hill and can see over the top finally.
I started out clicking strategically… and by the end was just wildly clicking and dancing in my chair.
CLICK THE SQUARES.
THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.
THIS THIS THIS THIS!

This new tune got me very pumped up for derby last night. Recommended.

From Mike Skinner: Why I’m killing Off The Streets interview via The Guardian
It’s pretty folklore that routine is boring but just recently I’m liking the idea of finding peace in routine. Mike Skinner puts it inspiringly in relation to having kids but I think it works in terms of any task that requires something repeated and consistent of you. Does that sound wanky? Probably, but who cares!
The Streets’ new (and final) album is streaming on The Hype Machine!
